I received a trade paperback of Death of the Mantis by Michael Stanley for an upcoming TLC Book Tour.
I received a hardcover of State Vs. Defense by Stephen Glain for review from PTA.
I received a trade paperback of Unforeseen Fears by William Gruchow from the author for review.
I won an ARC of Down the Mysterly River by Bill Willingham from Cecelia of The Adventures of Cecelia Bedelia.
I won a hardcover of Crime Fraiche by Alexander Campion from LibraryThing.
A hardcover of The Red House Mystery by A.A. Milne was a surprise delivery from the wonderful Becke of The Mysterious Garden Muse. She also happens to be the moderator of the Mystery forum on the Barnes & Noble book club site.
On my last trip to Borders, I picked up a trade paperback of The Town That Forgot How to Breathe by Kenneth J. Harvey and a paperback of Wielding a Red Sword by Piers Anthony.
From the Friends of the Library Book Store I picked up two hardcovers for $1 a piece. I've read Murder at the Library of Congress by Margaret Truman before, but I haven't read Murder on the Potomac.
Last night I stopped into Target to get a few things and found Big Business on DVD for only $2.
One of my birthday gifts was 4, Beyonce's new CD. I've never been a big fan of her ballads in the past, but she really impressed me with this one. Of course, the dance songs are up to her usual standards.
Wow, what a mailbox! You had a lot of great wins! Crime Fraiche looks interesting - I'm guessing it's a cozy set in France. Enjoy your new books (and CD)!
ReplyDeleteI've heard the Margaret Truman mysteries are quite good--maybe this will be my next mystery series. Enjoy your new books!
ReplyDeleteDown the Mysterly River sounds good, and I really like that cover. I look forward to reading your thoughts on it.
ReplyDeleteGreat mailbox this week, Ryan! I love the cover on Crime Fraiche. Truman's mysteries are always well done. Have a great week and enjoy all your new books.
ReplyDeleteI love Beyonce! My favorite ballad of hers is Halo. Can't beat that amazing piano intro.
ReplyDeleteI am also doing the tour of Death of the Mantis and I just finished it yesterday. I really liked it!

ReplyDeleteoh my... oh my... just looking at these is making my eyes water in envy ;P
ReplyDeleteEnjoy! your very interesting mailbox.
ReplyDeleteWow, great mailbox! There are several you received that look interesting. I have The Town that Forgot to Breathe, but haven't read it yet, of course! I've never been a big fan of Beyonce, but some of her dance songs are okay.
ReplyDeleteBig Business...what a blast from the past!
Target can be a very bad place for me when I'm weak!!! We're both on the Death of the Mantis tour...sounds good doesn't it? Enjoy your other books!!
ReplyDeleteWow, what a great list. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteYou win so many books, Ryan! Lady Luck is certainly smiling on you these days. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm jealous. In case you can't tell. Ha!
I'm dying to read the A.A. Milne mystery.
Great selection! Awesome find with Big Business! Such a fun movie! LOVE Bette Midler!
