The last week was a good one in terms of new books. I received a book I won in the Non-fiction giveaway blog hop and found an interesting book on Netgalley.

Some nice books this week.

I was very lucky on Bookmooch the other day and received three books on the same day. Astonishing! The cookbook is from Netgalley and I am very much looking forward to it.

I was busy on Netgalley and on Bookmooch this week and got a few really good books – I hope. More to come next week.

I am very happy about this week’s book.

One book this week. My book buying ban is still going strong.

My mailbox was super full this week, all thanks to Birgit from The Book Garden who sent me a package with books and other goodies. She sent me a whole stack of cozy mysteries, some of one of our favourite series and some new to me. On top of that she sent me some other things that I won’t show here otherwise you will all come knocking at her door, begging for gifts, 
.
They all are going to make for some wonderfully cozy reading under the blanket. Thanks, Birgit, for sending them to me!

A few things today that I am really looking forward to:
What was in YOUR mailbox recently?
I am still so good at not buying books it is almost uncanny. But I got something which I had already forgotten about because I requested it about seven months ago…
After reading Edna O’Brien’s The Love Object I was interested in reading more. I received
her novel August is a wicked month and am really looking forward to it.

This week is exciting because I finally got a book that was recommended to me by a fellow blogger whose taste in mysteries is QUITE different from mine. Plus, I am planning to– hoping for – dreaming about getting back into crochet.
Started early, took my dog by Kate Atkinson
Elena will be so pleased (with herself) that I got this. I love the cover and the title, we will see how the rest goes.
Crochet One-Skein Wonders: 101 Projects from Crocheters Around the World by Judith Durant. One skein is do-able, right?
What was in YOUR mailbox recently?
Only one crafty book today – and it is a kids’ book.
Paper Artist: Creations kids can fold, wear, tear or share by Gail Green
A craft book for children. I love paper and this will be a great idea book for kids’ projects. I love the heart on the cover.
What was in YOUR mailbox recently?
Only one non-fiction book this week that I discovered in the Netgalley Christmas newsletter. As I am always on the lookout for new crockpot dishes I had to get this one. It is not exclusively vegetarian, but I am sure I can adapt some recipes. I just saw on Goodreads that the author has written tons of other crockpot cookbooks, one of them a veggie one. Maybe something to think about.

Not very much to report this week. My ban is still working, I haven’t bought a book in ages. This one I only got because someone on my swap site offered one of his in return for one of mine. So I chose this one.
I have a couple of books by Jojo Moyes on my TBR list, but so far don’t own any. This one I had never heard of before, but it sounds good. My edition is German (The German title is “Das Haus ohne Wiederkehr” – “The house of no return”) but I decided to post this cover because it is so beautiful.

I got a nice bookish gift in my mailbox this week. Believe it or not, our family joined the group of Kindle users. A friend of mine gave us her spare (first) Kindle as a gift as she received another, more recent, one for Christmas. You might know that I am no Kindle friend, but have to admit that it looks quite good and it has some features that my other reader hasn’t got. Still, I will stick with my trusted old Sony and will only use the Kindle if I have no choice.
As far as books go…

Birgit from The Book Garden sent me a parcel with tons of lovely goodies, books and souvenirs from her recent trip to the US. I enjoyed every single one of them (and carry around a couple in my purse) – thank you, Birgit!
It is cozy time again! Birgit sent me two books in the Booktown Mystery series
and there is more…
I have never heard of those before, but they sound quite nice and entertaining.

I will be walking down Memory Lane soon as I have ordered a few books that I loved when I was a little girl. Officially I wanted them so we can read them to our boys at bedtime , but I am sure I will read them myself beforehand.
Enid Blyton is the creator of many series, but the one I always liked best is the “Five find-outers mystery series”. Five kids, one dog, a small English village, an oaf of a Bobby and cozy mysteries, what else can you ask for? The series was on my auto buy list way before I even knew what auto buy meant and getting a new book (there are 15 total) was always the highlight of the week or month.
I found the first six books in two hardcovers at Awesome Books for about €3 each, a real bargain. They are:
I will be having so much fun!

Not much happened this week, but I got a great audiobook in the mail. In fact, I WON this in the Literary Giveaway Blog Hop from Leslie at Under my apple tree. I saw the book at the Goodreads Choice Awards and thought it might be interesting and the next thing you know is that I got an email telling me I won the audiobook! That totally made my day! Thank you, Leslie!
I am rather new to audio books and am eager to find out whether I like this format. A bonus with this one is that it is read by the author himself, how nice is that?

This week I got only one book from Netgalley. From the blurb it reminds me a bit of another little book by John Sutherland called Is Heathcliff a murderer?
What was in YOUR mailbox recently?
I’m still good and not buying anything…
What was in YOUR mailbox recently?
Again not much to report. However, I was in search for some standard romance in order to get that horrible 50 Shades of Grey out of my system. And found Maya Banks once more.
What was in YOUR mailbox recently?
If it hadn’t been for an approval at Netgalley that came as a surprise as I had totally forgotten I had requested this months ago, my mailbox would have been completely empty again.
What was in YOUR mailbox recently?
I am still doing great with my book buying ban. Only one book to talk about.
What was in YOUR mailbox recently?
Not much going on these days. However, the bargain bin at Awesome Books is beckoning at the moment…

I didn’t plan on doing a IMM post today, I have been good in not acquiring books, but just today I got an email that my book on hold is now available for download.

Our library (read why it sucks here) will be closing in a week for the big move into the new building. So they are encouraging everybody to check out as many books as they can, in order to facilitate the activities. So I went there on Thursday and got 13 books. To you this might sound like nothing (I have seen library haul in blog posts that was gigantic) but it is quite a lot for me. I got mostly non-fiction (health and cooking) but one.
