Wow... It's been about a month since my last IMM post, and I've missed sharing my book acquisitions with everyone. So without further delay, here are my goodies! :D
You might remember late last year, the awesome people over at The Broke and the Bookish blog did a Secret Santa swap. This is what I got:
The Maze Runner by James Dashner
A whole buncha bookmarks - some signed! Squee!
Here's what I received from a Secret Santa swap we did in one of my Goodreads Groups. I'm excited for both of these books:
Handling The Undead by John Ajvide Lindqvist
Halfway To The Grave by Jeaniene Frost
Crusade (Crusade #1) by Nancy Holder and Debbie Viguie (Received ARC from Star Book Tours)
I actually received this one a while ago from my boss, but I plan on reading it soon and figured that I'd mention it. I hope it's awesome. :)
Little Bee by Chris Cleave.

But it's worth it... Silly cats! :P
OK, let's get back to business!

I love my Nook too! I LOVE the free options that they have and I love the anthologies that they offer in the device shop for like $.99. Glad you're enjoying it!
ReplyDeleteThat's quite a long list you got there. And your kitties are so incredibly adorable!
How does Eddings and Martin compare to Jordan and Goodkind?
