Today is my birthday, so it’s only fitting that I’ve received some really great stuff this week!
The first three books I received through PaperbackSwap trades. I’ve been seeing stuff about Uglies everywhere, so I can’t wait to see what the buzz is all about! The bottom two are ARCs I gratefully received from Miriam at Hachette Press. They look great! They’re not scheduled to be released until April and June, respectively, so it will be a little while before I’ll read them.
I hope you have a busy mailbox this week!
Mailbox Mondays are hosted by The Printed Page.
May you have the Happiest of Birthdays today, Jaime! 🙂
I have Uglies on my TBR shelf and look forward to reading it. I, also, have another one in the series, but I don’t remember which one.
Question about PaperbackSwap: How has the quality of the books been?
Most of the time, they’re really good. But if I’m requesting something with an old publication date, I don’t expect a lot out of it. I’ve only received a few that wouldn’t be sellable in a used book store. You can also put conditions on your request, like not wanting books from a smoking household if you’re sensitive to that.
Happy Birthday! A Spot of Bother looks interesting.
Happy birthday to YOU! Glad you got books! That always makes me happy. I’ll have to check into the swap as I have shelves of books… haven’t gotten to my book exchange lately which is 45 miles and hour drive away!
Happy birthday! I hope you had a wonderful day. I read A Spot of Bother last year and I loved it. Mark Haddon is one of my favorites. I just love his humor.
I hope you like Uglies! The trilogy is one of my favorite sci-fi books, though, er, the writing could be a little better (just a little). If you DO like it, you might like Westerfeld’s Midnighters series, too. I recently read the first book and liked it a little more than Uglies, actually.
Happy birthday!
Happy Birthday! What a great selection of books. I’ll be interested to hear what you think about Uglies.
Happy Birthday!! Don’t you just love PBS and Miriam!! Both are simply amazing.

Happy Birthday..late.. wow. you got some good stuff!! The ARC’s look good. It is nice when a books cover is as good as what is inside. I will look forward to your reviews.
Happy, belated, birthday! I enjoy Nora’s mainstream novels and think I’ve read every one of them. Enjoy your books!
