I didn't actually think I would be participating in The Story Siren's In My Mailbox this week. And then I chanced upon a sale at my local Borders. I would up picking up 2 books, both books that I've been wanting to read and will eventually buy anyways, but both were on sale 75% off for only $4. But once I got to the register they wound up being buy 1 get 1 free. So each book wound up costing only around $2. Quite a steal if you ask me. Now onto the books!
Another blogger book I've been meaning to be. Once again I've read the archives to Heather's blog (dooce.com), so I know what to expect. Still I'm looking forward to rereading her story this time in book form.
I loved The Time Traveler's Wife, and while I've heard her follow up isn't as good it doesn't mean I'm not going to give it a chance. I'm not entirely sure what the book is about, but again at with such a good deal on owning the book I more than willing to find out.
What's in your mailbox this week? Did you happen to stumble on any good deals as well?
it sucked and i cried has a cute cover. enjoy your books!
ReplyDeleteCheck out my IMM if you have time.
Happy reading,

Her Fearful Symmetry is on my tbr list. I read It Sucked and then I cried last year. The stories were all new to me since I never read dooce before.
ReplyDeleteThese look like some good books. I'm going to have to check them out. Happy Reading!

Ooooh, I might have to run by Borders today. It Sucked and then I Cried looks really good!
ReplyDeleteI have had Her Fearful Symmetry since it came out and it's.... sat on my shelf. :/ I'm terrible at buying too many books and not getting to them!
Looks like you got some good books. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI love it when you think you aren't going to get anything and then you come across a REALLY good deal. Pretty much everything I got this week was a good deal!
ReplyDeleteHappy reading!
These look good. I definitely want to read Her Fearful Symmetry. I liked The Time Traveler's Wife, and I like Niffenegger's writing, so I think I'll like this book too.
ReplyDeleteI love it when Borders has those 2 for 1 deals. If you go for the discount stuff, you can get books for crazy cheap. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI have both of these books, but havent gotten around to reading them yet! I love Dooce!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely LOVE Her Fearful Symmetry, it was one of my favourite books of last year.
ReplyDeleteIf you like it too, you might like The Thirteenth Tale
