In My Mailbox (28)



Good morning!  In My Mailbox is hosted by the super fab Kristi @ The Story Siren.

I only bought one book last week and that's Waiting To Exhale. I've had several copies of the book, loaned them to someone, can't remember who, but never volunteered to five them back so I just got a new one.  I really wanted a hardback, but couldn't find one so for now I've settled for the paperback which I will soon reread. I loved this book and movie back in the day.

I got Die For Me from Net Galley a while ago, but forgot to mention.  I requested it because I liked the book summary, but as I read the reviews I realized it was about zombies.  Eek!  Not a zombie fan, but judging from the reviews, I may become one...we'll see.

I also borrowed Lover Unleashed and Sweet Valley Confidential.  Yay!  I've been wanting to read both, but was trying to wait until my library got them. Both books have mixes reviews so really anxious to see what all the fuss is about.  Thankfully someone loaned me ebooks to read.  Now my Nook will be very happy that I will getting to spend more time with it instead of neglecting it for paperbacks.

Well, thanks all, so what did you get in your mailbox?
