I am home from Honduras as of 2 am this morning. I have went to Church, unpacked, completed two loads of laundry, done the dishes, and looked through and recorded my books that came in this week as well as the 4 books I purchased in Honduras.
Want to see? (There are some pretty exciting titles in here!)
1. Gringos In Paradise sent to me by the author. This one is about Honduras…. thought I would have to check it out!
2. When Heaven Comes Down from Bethany House this looks like a great read!
3. The Secret of Joy came my way from Pocket Books. What a fun cover!
4. 7 I received two of so you know there will be a giveaway! Woo Hoo! These came from Hachette Book Group.
5. The Rapture is a book I won from Nikola’s Back to Books Blog. Thanks Nikola! Looks super good!
6. Treasured is for an upcoming Blog Tour. I love the look and sound of this one. Ths came from Ashley Boyer with Random House.
7. God Gave Us Christmas and God Gave Us Love are both from Ashley Boyer with Random House. I love childrens reads and these look great!
8. The Cost Of Dreams is a thriller set around Indian culcture and was sent by Robyn Schechter. I need to put this one on the tbr list soon!
9. Heretic’s Daughter was sent by Hachette House and I have a current giveaway on this incredible book that is ending soon – sign up today to win a copy here!
10. Ok if this was a vlog I would be squealing here! I found a book off my wish list in Honduras! Yeah! I found SOLD there are I know this will probably be an emotionally hard read but one I am truly looking forward to!
11. Yes! Another squeal and perhaps a back flip on this one! This is a copy of J K Rowlings The Tales of Beedle the Bard in Spanish! I have it in english too as you will see by the next picture. How fun is this? I picked this little treasure up in Honduras.
12. Increble Kamo! Is a book I seen that the children in Manuelito (Honduras) were reading as a group. It is a fiction read and then I seen it at the book store in Honduras and had to have a copy. This is in Spanish as well. (If you are wondering if I speak fluent Spanish – I do not, but I hope to some day)!
13. The Penderwicks is the last book from this past week and also my final purchase in Honduras. It just looks like a wonderful read. I havent peaked into it yet but I am guessing it to be an adventure like Narnia…. we shall see.
Thanks all for stopping in to see what I found in my mailbox this week. It was exciting to come home to all the packages and opening each one was like a new treasure. I am pretty tired now so I think I am going to break and read a bit or even possibly nap! Be sure to stop by Kristi’s blog the Story Siren to add your books you received to her weekly meme In My Mailbox!
