Mailbox Monday August 5, 2013

Welcome to Mailbox Monday.
For AUGUST: the Mailbox Monday Tour host is Penelope @ The Reading Fever. If Penelope doesn't post then the the link will be at Bermudaonion (thanks Kathy).
Mailbox Monday is a gathering place for readers to share the books that came into their house last week and explore great book blogs.  This Meme started with Marcia at A Girl and Her Books (fka The Printed Page) but is now hosted at Mailbox Monday and through various blog hosts.

Warning: Mailbox Monday can lead to envy, toppling TBR piles and humongous wish lists.


I received one ebook for review, one special free and I picked up the free audio titles from SYNC YA. 

Are your mailbox and TBR piles blooming?

Review Titles
I signed up for this tour through Random House at the end of June but forgot to list the title.
Besides, I just downloaded it from NetGalley.

Free
I reviewed The Hero's Lot by Patrick W. Carr last week. I saw on Facebook that the first book in the series was free for Kindle and Nook so I picked it up! As of Sunday night it is still available free.

  1. Nice haul. You got lots of books. Ashlyn Macnamara is really sweet. She was at Lady Jane's Salon a few months ago. Nice haul.

  3. Oh, I'd like to read a Sherlock Holmes book - it never occurred to me to try it on audio.

  4. I picked up a copy of Death Cloud a year or two ago that I've still yet to read. Although seeing everyone sharing their free copies this week it's making me want to finally go and start it.
