\"Mailbox<\/p>\n

A big thank you to\u00c2\u00a0Knitting and Sundries<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0for hosting Mailbox Monday during November.<\/p>\n

I had no idea I would be getting so many books this week.\u00c2\u00a0 Earlier in the year I registered for the World Fantasy Convention and it was this weekend.\u00c2\u00a0 Each attendee received a bag of goodies which included samples of new titles and a lot of books.\u00c2\u00a0 Really.\u00c2\u00a0 The convention had a book swap table which always seemed to magically refill with more books.<\/p>\n

\" This is a picture of the new books I received on Friday.\u00c2\u00a0 These included:
\nHighborn<\/em> by Yvonne Navarro
\n<\/a>Fatal Circle<\/em> by Linda Robertson<\/a> – (I finished Vicious Circle over the weekend and enjoyed it.) This is the third book in the Persephone Alcmedi series.
\nThe Sword-Edged Blonde<\/em> by Alex Bledsoe
\n<\/a>Black Dust Mambo<\/em> by Adrian Phoenix
\n<\/a>Warbreaker<\/em> by Brandon Sanderson
\n<\/a>Painted Man<\/em> by Peter V. Brett
\n<\/a>Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters<\/em> by Jane Austin and Ben H. Winters
\n<\/a>Misguided Angel<\/em> by Melissa De La Cruz
\n<\/a>Queen Victoria: Demon Hunter<\/em> by A.E. Moorat
\nRage of the Behemoth: An Anthology of Heroic Adventure<\/em><\/a> edited by Jason M. Waltz<\/a><\/p>\n

Libyrinth<\/em> by Pearl North
\n<\/a>White Cat<\/em> by Holly Black<\/a> -\u00c2\u00a0While Holly was signing my book\u00c2\u00a0she mentioned it was the first time she’d had a book in the convention swag bag and she was excited about it.
\nElfworld Volume 1<\/a><\/em> by various comic artists
\nThe Best of Gene Wolfe: A Definitive Retrospective of His Finest Short Fiction<\/em> by Gene Wolfe<\/a><\/p>\n

Books from Saturday include:
\nThe Man from Beijing<\/em> by Henning Mankell<\/a> – My husband and I went to Half Price Books after having a nice dinner and this is the one thing I allowed myself to get. Earlier this year I heard him read part of the first chapter on NPR.

\n<\/a>The Candidates<\/em> by Inara Scott
\n<\/a>Bloodshot<\/em> by Cherie Priest<\/a> – This is an ARC and while I’ve often wanted to read her books I just haven’t found the time.
\nFangs for the Mammaries<\/em> edited by Esther Friesner<\/a> – I went to a few panels that featured Esther and thought she was funny. She has a new book out in March that sounds perfect for me called Threads and Flames<\/em>. It’s about the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire.
\nShotgun Sorceress<\/em> by Lucy A. Snyder<\/a> – Lucy signed this one for me during the mass author signing held on Saturday night.
\nWinter Witch<\/em> by Elaine Cunningham
