Mailbox Monday for 4/18/11


Mailbox Monday is a weekly meme created by Marcia at A Girl And Her Books and is being hosted all this month by Amy at Passages to the Past.


I received a hardcover of Rotters by Daniel Kraus from the publicist for review.  I know I've been on a YA ban but I think this may be the book to make me change my mind.


I received an ARC of Lost in Shangri-La by Mitchell Zuckoff for an upcoming TLC Book Tour.


On a trip to Barnes & Noble I bought a paperback of Parker Pyne Investigates by Agatha Christie.  It's the next book in my Agatha Christie self challenge.


I found a book club hardcover of Messenger of Truth by Jacqueline Winspear for $1 at the Friends of the Library Book Store.



I rarely go to used bookstores, other than the one for the library system, but on a whim I stopped by one and picked up two paperbacks.  Thanks to Yvette at in so many words... (I love her blog by the way and I encourage everyone not familiar with it to go visit her) I discovered a new to me mystery writer, Mary Roberts Rinehart.  I also found out one of my favorite movies starring Vincent Price and Agnes Moorehead, "The Bat", was based off of one of her books.  Luckily for me I found a paperback of The Bat at the bookstore for $3 so I grabbed it up.  They had a lot of her books, so I'm sure I'll go back for more.  I also picked up a paperback of The Case of the Dangerous Dowager by Erle Stanley Gardner for $1.


Last but not least, Target had season 5 of "Supernatural" on sale for $19.99 and since I missed the entire season I had to get it.

    Great mailbox! I'll be interested to hear your thoughts on the Rinehart book. Probably all gothic-y like all Vincent Price movies are! Rotters looks really good.

    Gotta love those Winchester boys!

    Oooh, I can't wait to see what you think of Rotters. I think it's shaping up to be the best YA I will read this year. But it's only April so I have to give the genre a chance.

    I have to read a Maisie Dobb book. So many readers have enjoyed her. I feel like I am missing out on something good. That was a great deal finding one at the library sale.

    Ooh, you got some real good ones, Ryan. Agatha Christie can be read over and over. Radio Shangri-La should be a good read too. Have a great week, enjoy your new books and happy reading!

    LOST IN SHANGI-LA sounds like a winner to me. So glad you found a Mary Roberts Rinehart on your used bookstore jaunt! And thanks for the plug for my blog, Ryan. You're a peach.
