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.

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

Book Embargo? I never follow mine too :D Book Swapping is a great and money saving idea indeed! Have fun with reading your weekly book dose:)

My book club and I loved 1000 White Women. As for American Psycho, it is one of my favorites!

I’m glad to hear that I have some good books coming up. I got hold of ‘One Thousand White Women’ for a book challenge I’m taking part in at the moment, so I’ll be reading it fairly soon. After reading ‘A Clockwork Orange’ I decided I should be brave and expand my reading horizons, hence ‘America Psycho’. We’ll see how that goes.
