Old English Rose Reads

In my mailbox this week

“In my mailbox” is a weekly meme hosted by The Story Siren in which people share the books that they have acquired that week.

I continue to defy the book embargo, although not quite as spectacularly as last week as I have come home with a more moderate ten books this week.  I have switched my BookMooch mailing address from my home address to the office address in order to facilitate this.  My fiance sees this as a sign of addiction (something of which I am fully and happily aware) but I prefer to view this as effective problem solving.

This week I have one BookMooch book (first one the list) and the rest are from second hand book places.  I try not to visit them, but they call to me and I just can’t resist them.

• One Thousand White Women by Jim Fergus
• A Place of Greater Safety by Hilary Mantel
• Without My Cloak by Kate O’Brien
• The Seance by John Harwood
• American Psycho by Brett Easton Ellis
• Balthazar Jones and the Tower of London Zoo by Julia Stuart
• For Love Alone by Christina Stead
• Coram Boy by Jamilla Gavin
• The Whitby Child by Robin Jarvis
• A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini

So, in summary:

Books off the TBR pile this week – 2

Books on the TBR pile this week – 10

Change – +8

TBR pile stands at – 483 books
