What's in the Mailbox?
Last weekend, I received Dean Koontz's newest thriller, The Forest of Lost Souls, which I ordered from Amazon. Then, this past week, I received a finished copy of Space Hollows: First Transmission by B. R. Louis—I already posted my review a few days ago—and an ARC of Hunterlore by Dana Claire.
What's New on the Bookshelf?
First is Star Trek: The Next Generation: The Continuing Mission by Judith & Garfield Reeves-Stevens, a 10 x 12 hardback that I probably overpaid at $12. When I say overpaid, I later found it listed on eBay for $5 in "fair condition," but it's also selling on Amazon for $20. The cover has a bit of shelfware, which I might be able to remove with a little cleaning; besides that, the book's in excellent condition. It's a behind-the-scenes coffee table-type book, first published in 1997 for the tenth anniversary of TNG.
For $4 each, I picked up T2: Infiltrator by S. M. Stirling, Star Trek: The Next Generation: The Devil's Heart by Carmen Carter, and Star Trek: The Next Generation: All Good Things... by Michael Jan Friedman.
I hesitated about getting Preacher's Purge because it sounded familiar. However, I grabbed it anyway, just in case; as it turned out, I already have a copy, though this one is in slightly better condition. FYI: These books were $1.37 apiece.
The local Salvation Army thrift store continues to be a complete mess with junk tossed about everywhere. The book section is shrinking week by week. I picked up one 10-cent paperback, Impact by Douglas Preston, and one 10-cent magazine, Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine - June 1975 Edition.
New titles on my Kindle are Marilyn Monroe: The Private Life of a Public Icon by Charles Casillo, Make Love! The Bruce Campbell Way by Bruce Campbell, Demogorgon by Brian Lumley, Trigger Mortis by Anthony Horowitz, and A Spy Like Me by Kim Sherwood.
The Chiefs won their first 4 games. Do you think Taylor Swift being absent helped?
ReplyDeleteExcellent book haul as always. I hope you enjoy all your books!

Sounds like a good week! I wasn't paying attention to the sports things myself, but I vaguely recall the Chiefs were doing well. lol.
ReplyDeleteNice new reads! I got a copy of Hunterlore as well, not sure when I will get to read it now as my schedule is pretty busy but I am looking forward to it as I enjoyed the first one a lot! Hope you enjoy all of the lovely new reads!
Here's my StS
