In My Mailbox #19

In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by The Story Siren, designed for us to share the new books we brought home over the past week.

This week I had nothing come into the library for me (a good thing because I have a bunch waiting for me next week) but I did manage to buy one! Here's what I got.

Bought:


Mini Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella










For Review:


The Tapestry of Love by Rosy Thornton










Won:


She's Gone Country by Jane Porter
(Thanks to Bookaddict4real for this contest!)

    I've seen The Tapestry of Love, and it looks like a great book. I will have to buy Mini-Shopaholic. I love those books!
