I’ve been following The Story Siren‘s ‘In my Mailbox’ for awhile now but alas, I don’t get new books most weeks so I’ve never felt the need… but this week I did in fact pick some things up AND get a book I ordered in the mail… so let’s give this a go!

Title: Balefire
Author: Cate Tiernan
Where I got it: At work!

This is actually a series of four books jam packed into one (hopefully) amazing book. I read the first in the series a few days ago and really enjoyed it! So, book one in the series has been put in my ‘used bookstore turn-in’ box and replaced with this pretty, pretty version. Can’t wait to read it buuttt…

At work this week (okay, for a few weeks now… but I’ve been resisiting) we had a sale on these guys!

Title: First four books in A Song of Ice and Fire
Author: George R.R. Martin

I resisted for so long, but I didn’t want to get into the show without reading the books. So of course, I can’t do anything half way so I caved and bought the entire series to date. I’m still working on the first one and I have a feeling this series is going to take me awhile to get through with everything else I want to read… which is exactly why I put it off for so long!

So far, so good though!

Annnnd, last but not least… I swear!!! I’m not obsessed with Sweet Valley Twins, it’s just come up a lot lately. Which is exactly why I caved and bought this book off ebay!

Title: Evil Elizabath
Author: Francine Pascal
Series: SWEET VALLEY TWINS!

As much as I loved this series growing up, ALL of my favorites are missing from my collection. I’m pretty sure I borrowed them all the first time around, several times each but never got copies of my own. Since I’ve decided to hang on to my collection I’m going to slowly make it as complete as possible.

You know… I’m going to be so disappointed if my kids aren’t readers!

Oh! And I also picked up a copy of a book on Henry the 8th at a used clothing store on Saturday. Not sure if I’ll ever get to read it but I’ve been teaching myself all about his wives over the last month and I figure it never hurts to flesh out the non-fiction portion of my personal library from time to time!
