MailBox Monday now has it’s very own blog, Mailbox Monday. It is also on tour and is being hosted by I’m Booking It in March.
I received this book in my mailbox:
Great Philosophers Who Failed at Love by Andrew Shaffer.
I won this from The Girl From the Ghetto.
I received the following books (in my Inbox, rather than my mailbox). They were all courtesy of Sourcebooks during their Celebration of “Read an ebook Week”:
This was a really score for me, I have been wanting it ever since it was released!
I have never read a Howard Fast book but have heard great things about this series. This is the first book in the series.
I’m not sure about this one but it is a book of short stories about the Civil war. I thought it might be worthwhile.
What did you get in your mailbox?
Hope you enjoy your books! How do you feel about ebooks? I don’t accept ebooks. I don’t have an ebook reader, and there is no way I would enjoy reading a book on my computer! And I haven’t decided whether or not I would like an ereader. There is just something about the look and feel and smell of a real book!
I should have grabbed Highest Stakes since the author is local for me. Enjoy your new books!
Didn’t ALL of the great philosophers fail at love? LOL! Seriously, that one looks like a totally interesting read! I love the cover on Highest Stakes, and The Immigrants is on my wishlist! Enjoy your reading week!
Heather, I would never want to give up real books but I do love my ereader. It’s a Kobo, it doesn’t have all the bells and whistles as some do but It is easy to use. Most e-readers use what the call “true ink technology” which makes the reading experience much the same as reading a book. It is not backlit like a computer, so it is as easy on the eyes as a regular book. You even need a booklite if you are going to read it in the dark, just like a book. I especially like it for fat books, as it is much lighter than a heavy book.
I wouldn’t recommend a color Nook because it is backlite, so would be loke reading off a computer.
Kathy, it’s received some really good reviews by some of our peers.
Julie, “Didn’t ALL of the great philosophers fail at love?” Perhaps someone should research that and if they find even one that succeed, write a book about the. Although it would probably be dull. LOL!
I’m especially curious about the Civil War book. Happy reading!
Happy that you won that book! Have you started reading it yet? How do you like it?
Hi Girl, no I haven’t started yet. It will be awhile.
