1) Spooky New England Stories retold by S.E. Schlosser which I won over at Diane's blog Bibliophile By the Sea.2) The Children of Green Knowe - I bought this for 50p from the charity shop and it is one of the book series I would like to collect. There are six books in the set and this one is the first.
3) Anne of Windy Willows by L.M. Montgomery - I just love Anne of Green Gables, but I have only ever read the first book which I also own. So I am now determined to collect these books too. This one is called something else in America and Canada. I have absolutely no idea why.
4) The Ice Queen by Alice Hoffman - I got this book through Bookmooch which I recently joined. I found majority of my books went out in the first couple of days, so I was left with lots of points. The Ice Queen has been recommended to me by quite a few people,so I am really looking forward to reading it.
5) Poison Study by Maria V. Snyder - I was over the moon to get this one from Bookmooch, as I have picked it up so many times intending on buying it. I can't wait to get into this series.
So that rounds up the books that entered my house this week. What did you get?
I got All Made From Paper by Valerie Janitch from Amazon - recommended by the brilliant Efemera and it was only 50p on Amazon. Also a couple of Somerset Studio magazines from eBay which are almost as thick as some other books I own.
ReplyDeleteYours look great as usual - I've read The Ice Queen - you wont be dissapointed ;)
Enjoy your new books, Viv! I think I have The Ice Queen somewhere in my TBR...
ReplyDeleteCool :D Love the books.
ReplyDeleteI am planning on starting Snyder this week
Looks like some great books there.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was little, the Anne books were the first that I bought for myself. I didn't have much of an allowance, so I trolled around garage sales for an entire summer before I found the entire collection. Still have them. And love them.
Nice mailbox, great to get books in the mail at anytime but even better when you haven't paid lol.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed Poison Study & Magic Study, hope you do too!
I too have been really good and haven't bought any books this week - apart from some ex-library stock and I don't count them as at 25p for a softback and 50p for a hardback they are not much more money then a newspaper, I got 4 for £1.50
ReplyDeleteThe Ice Queen is SO good! Enjoy :D
ReplyDeleteOh so glad to see that the book arrived; enjoy. I loved The Ice Queen. Hoffman is hit or miss for me, but that one I loved.
ReplyDeleteMy younger daughter just loved Anne of Green Gables series as a child. Now as a middle aged adult, she still has them. I'm so glad she saved them. I hope you find all the rest in the series. Looks like you had a good week. Enjoy that New England book!
ReplyDeleteI love the cover on that ALice Hoffman book, but I still haven't read The Story Sisters, so I must stay away.
ReplyDeleteOh, I envy your selections! I've got to add "The Ice Queen" to my list. I love Alice Hoffman.
ReplyDeleteAnd "Anne of Windy Willows" sounds good too. I loved the Anne of Green Gables series. I just started collecting Nancy Drews. My Mailbox Monday is over at my Creations blog.

I loved Anne of Green Gables, too. I've only read the first one, but would like to remedy that. I'll be watching for your review.
ReplyDeleteNice haul, Vivienne! I really want to read the Green Knowe books, too (thanks to Eva!). But so far I've only got my hands on the fifth and sixth ones, so obviously I haven't started reading them yet.
ReplyDeleteSpooky New England Stories sounds really good! I will have to look that one up on amazon. Enjoy your books!!
ReplyDeletegreat books! The Ice Queen! *yay*
ReplyDeleteI have the spooky stories one myself, I havent read it yet though.

I love the Anne books. I haven't seen that particular cover before though. I just got the first volume of L.M. Montgomery's journals from the library, and I'm determined to find some time to read them.
ReplyDeleteHi, Viviene! I'm so jealous of the Spooky New England Stories.
ReplyDeleteGreat reads! Looks like you have some good ones there!
ReplyDeleteHappy reading, Vivienne. I will check out these books:)
ReplyDeleteDon't you just look BookMooch? I go through cycles where I can't find anything to a big bounty arriving within days.
ReplyDeleteI've tried to get Poison Study on BookMooch before but no luck. Lucky you though :)
I love The Ice Queen, I hope you will too! Enjoy reading! :)
ReplyDeleteThe Ice Queen is a fabulous read! I hope you like it!
