Books Bought and Mailbox Monday

My friend Cindy hosts this meme of books bought during the past week.







I bought several books on a shopping spree trip to Chapters last week. Cindy and I, along with my daughter, went to the bookstore to browse and enjoy a refreshment. A couple of hours later, I believe it was only my daughter who managed to come out unscathed. She shook her head at me sadly as I struggled, arms loaded with bags of books up the front steps to my house. Meanwhile, Cindy, who had kindly given us a lift to the store and dropped us off, was hard put to stop laughing as she watched from her car.

I also happened to be passing by another used bookstore in a couple of towns over and couldn't resist going in. Ok, and there's the local used bookstore too. So, these were my purchases:




From the local used bookstore:

• A Harvest of Bones by Yasmine Galenorn
• The House of the Seven Gables by Nathaniel Hawthorne (have always wanted to read this)

From the used bookstore a couple of towns over:

• A Mind to Murder by P.D. James
• Mistress of the Sun by Sandra Gulland

And from the shopping trip with Cindy:

• The Vows of Silence by Susan Hill
• Along Came a Spider by James Patterson
• The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne
• An Incomplete Revenge by Jacqueline Winspear
• Pardonable Lies by Jacqueline Winspear
• Interred with Their Bones by Jennifer Lee Carrell

Along with these I bought a cookbook and several books for my husband. He's almost finished the Sharpe series by Bernard Cornwell and I bought him the last two books.

This meme is hosted by Marcia at The Printed Page and Kristi at The Story Siren.

I received just one book last week:

The Shimmer by David Morrell

Thanks to FSB Associates for sending me this book to review!
