Mailbox Monday ~ March 21st

Mailbox Monday was created by The Printed Page. It is the gathering place for readers to share the books that came into their home last week.

Mailbox Monday is currently on tour, hosted by a different blog each month. This month’s host is Laura @ I’m Booking It.

Last week I received:
 

Stieg Larsson’s Millennium Trilogy Deluxe Boxed Set. This was a twitter win from RandomHouse. I was really excited about this one. I haven’t read any of this series yet and it was on my wish list.


 
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
The Girl Who Played with Fire
The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest

 
 
 

My library had a used book sale sponsored by Friends of the Library last weekend and I picked up a couple of Barbara Kingsolver books that I have been wanting to read: The Poisonwood Bible and Animal Dreams.

    You’re in for a treat with Animal Dreams – I read it a few years ago and loved it to pieces!

      I’m glad to hear that about Animal Dreams. It sounded good from the description.

    Oh, did you win that boxed set? How nice!! I loved the Millenium trilogy and I am also a fan of Kingsolver’s books. Have a great time reading them all.

      I entered the twitter contest for the boxed set and forgot about it. I was thrilled when I got the direct message that I had won!

      That’s good to hear. I recently read Animal, Vegetable, Miracle and loved it.

    I still have The Lacuna from my earlier Mailbox to read and I read one Larsson and loved it. Did not like my second book by Larsson.

      Another friend told me the second book of the trilogy was hard to get into… but she eventually finished all three and liked them.

    Congrats on winning the millennium trilogy! I have only read the first in the series.

    I need to read a Kingsolver book one of these days.
