In My Mailbox is a weekly meme created and hosted by The Story Siren where bloggers share would books they have gathered over the week.
Anji here. You might come to notice that I won't have many in my mailbox posts. I mean, when you have Tiffany's library to pick through (which is constantly being updated - hello), it's difficult to come across books that she doesn't already have. Occasionally, though, I do buy some books... usually while texting Tiffany from the store to ask her if she has whatever treasure I find.
These are my finds from my last shopping trip at Savers (I pretty much buy my books at thrift stores and... yup, mostly thrift stores):
Stupid and Contagious by Caprice Crane.
Caprice Crane cracks me up with her facebook status updates. She's friggin hilarious, so I was pretty excited when I came across this book in Savers. Besides, Nirvana lyrics as a book title and a cool green couch I'm totally jealous of on the cover. Love it. I'm reading this currently - very slowly (it's difficult to read with a baby learning to crawl and refusing to nap.) In fact, I'm reading it slowly enough so far that I'll be doing a read along book review! I'll have the first installment of that on Tuesday. It would be awesome if you'd join me.
These are the others I found - another Caprice Crane book!
Plus, I found this one - On Folly Beach by Karen White. It's going to be
awesome. Tiffany and I both read one of her other books, The Memory of
Water and it was really good. I can't wait to read this one. Here's hoping
it doesn't take me too long to get through this stack of books, plus the ones
that are all waiting for me. Most of those I've had since I was pregnant, and
the baby is just about 8 months old.
I just noticed Tiffany picked up Big Boned last week, too :)
