In My Mailbox #7
18 December, 2011
In My Mailbox is a meme hosted by The Story Siren. Let us know what books you’ve borrowed, bought or recieved for review!
So, this week I tried not to buy any new things because it’s so close to Christmas and I should be leaving it all until then but, once again, I had a stressful week and the idea of treating myself was just too tempting, and thus, I brought myself some goodies!
Here’s what I got this week;
purchased
The Adjustment Bureau
These were all bought on the same day. I saw Virals in a bookstore and with it being on offer and something that I’ve had my eye on for a while, I knew that I simply had to buy it! Jane Eyre was bought in a charity shop and was bought as I have never actually read it but have seen two films about it so thought that it was about time I did! The Adjustment Bureau was also bought in a charity shop and a bargain price for a newly released DVD! I haven’t seen it but can’t wait to dig in :D
No lying here, I saw this book and simply had to buy it! Not only is Celia one of my all time favourite authors (ever) but the cover of this book is absolutely GORGEOUS. It is hardback, shiny and even has a ribbon bookmark attached to it. This is, no word of a lie, one of the best covers I own and I cannot wait to read yet another Ahern novel!!
gifted
so, this one’s not exactly a book or a film exactly but it was the first christmas present I recieved and therefore it deserves a place on here, doesn’t it? Thank you to my housemate Dan who turned out to be my Secret Santa this year =]
for review
I am definitely looking forward to diving into this book as soon as I am on top of all of the other review books that I need to do (and temporarily lost) over the last few weeks! It sounds like such an interesting read!
won
For the first time ever, I won a giveaway! I was extremely happy it was this giveaway as well as I am just soooo excited to read this novel! Thanks go out to Carina from Fictional Distractions and to Belle Whittington!
that was all I got this week,
what did you get? =]

-dies- I am forever fighting the compose box on blogger to make my posts look pretty. Today it failed but I don’t have the time to sort it out. My OCD is killing me :(

I loved The Adjustment Beau! I love Bones but never read any of the Kathy Reiches books the show is based off. Cicada looks really good so congrats on the win!

There is no greater comfort to stress than a good book :) Oooh Virals!! I have been meaning to get my hands on that for ages. Now you can convince me to hurry up once you read and review :)
I have never heard of Celia Ahern before, but considering she is one of your favourite authors EVER…. well I so need to check out one of her books!
Awesome mailbox! Congrats on your win and I think your brain should enjoy the challenge from the movie quiz book :D Enjoy!

Ooh, I want to read Virals. Since I’m an avid Bones fan, I’ve been wanting to read Kathy Reichs for a while now. One of these days… Great haul!
Thanks for visiting my IMM.

I totally understand your book love for your new Ahern book. I get that way every time one of my fave authors comes out with a book I’ve been waiting for. But yours sounds tactfully wonderful!
I agree with Brodie – relax and jump in a book! I feel your blog pain, too! Mine will never be right :S
Merry Christmas!!

Thanks for stopping by my blog.
Jane Eyre is my absolute favorite book of all time. Enjoy it. I’ve also seen The Adjustment Bureau, and was surprised by how much I liked it. Not what I was expecting.
