It’s getting so close to Christmas so I’ve been avoiding the book sales lately and relying more on the Public Library. But I still got a wonderful pile of books this past week, one from a fellow blogger, a few ARCs that I had requested and a couple treats too.
Funny thing, the Hubs went on a major all-day book expedition, searching for a couple older Star Wars books he needs for his series. However, his luck wasn’t so good, he may have to try eBay. On his bookish wanderings, he did come across a few books for me – including an awesome collection of Shirley Jackson works that were previously unpublished or uncollected - WooHoo!

The new Stephen King and the Magician's Book look really good! Can't wait to hear what you think of them!
I got The Magician's Book, too. I have to say the name, Oogie Boogie Central really intrigues me.
You do have some scary looking books there. I haven't heard of ,ost of them. Nice to have a hubby who knows what you like. My Monday Mailbox is up.
That was some good pile! I receive only one!
Read mine here!
You're welcome! I'm glad Madeleine found a good home. ;-)
I've requested the Cole Family Christmas - the story sounds really interesting!
Great week!! :)

Madeleine is sleeping sounds very interesting, and so does the Shirley Jackson book. Enjoy your new books!
Sandra, I'm always impressed by husbands who buy their wives books. You're a lucky girl!

You did get a lot of great books there. I'm getting Cole Family Christmas too and I can't wait to read it. I guess that will be my Christmas selection this year. Happy Reading.

looking forward to your thoughts on the new Stephen King.

Thanks for the stopping by the mailbox this week. Looks like both you and the hubs did good.
What a great pile 'o books, and what a thoughtful husband!
Can't wait to see what you think of Any Given Doomsday. I reviewed it awhile ago, and it's not the type of book I normally read.

I love that your husband buys you books! My husband likes to cook, so he's always buying cookbooks, but no fiction, alas. Your Shirley Jackson find sounds good. I read her two memoirs earlier this year and came away from the books liking her so very much.
I'm behind on my blogging (as usual), so I still have your "challenges and events" blog in my reader--looks like you deleted it? Anyway, I'm astounded at your organization--definitely gives me some ideas of how to organize my own challenges!! Love it.
Oh I'm glad I'm not the only one commenting on Monday's posts late!
Madeleine Is Sleeping looks great! What an amazing haul you got this week again!
My Mailbox Monday post is here.
the weeks seem to go by quicker during the holidays I've noticed.
