What’s in My Mailbox is a meme inspired by In My Mailbox, a weekly feature originally created by Kristi from The Story Siren, where bloggers share the books they’ve received that week. I’ll be sharing my own book mail on a monthly basis—because time is fake, but book mail is forever.
Welcome to my first What’s in My Mailbox post! I’m still figuring things out, and the graphic is a work in progress, but I love the vibe so far. Back in college, I did these posts every week on my old blog, Books, Sweets, and Other Treats, and even had a YouTube channel where I showed off new books—whether they were mail, purchases, NetGalley requests, or library finds. I’ve really missed doing that, so I’m excited to bring it back… just once a month now that life is a bit busier!

Purchases
Nothing since December! I think I went a little overboard with purchases before and after Christams.
Found any new books this month? Bought, borrowed, or discovered—drop them in the comments, I want to know!
I am always up for a Lynn Painter book. I can't wait to read that one.
ReplyDeleteThis will be my first!
DeleteOOh nice haul! I have the bad habit of preordering books throughout the year. I figure I will eventually have to rein it in once I find a house, but living the dream now! Lol. There were all mostly new to me ones though I have seen Metal Slinger around a lot! I hope you enjoy or enjoyed your January reads!
ReplyDeleteHere's my StS
Have a GREAT day!

Keep living the dream, girl! I know Metal Slinger is already out, but NetGalley was offering it to read since the second book is about to be released (or already was?). I decided to snag it while I could!
DeleteEleanor likes Lynn Painter but we always have to be very careful we are reading the YA ones!
ReplyDeleteThis will be my first one! Do you have any recs?
DeleteVery nice! I hope your next read is a good one.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I hope you had a wonderful weekend, Mary.
DeleteWow, you have a lot of NetGalley requests to read! (And I love the graphic!)
ReplyDeleteI'm kicking myself, because I'm trying to IMPROVE my NetGalley ratio, not make it worse. 😅
DeleteOh, and I'm glad you like the graphic! I think I'll make some minor adjustments to it but keep the overall look.
DeleteI always check out way too many books from my library at the start of every month, then I struggle to finish them all before they have to go back, but it keeps me from spending way too much money buying new books. ;D
ReplyDeleteThe library is my weakness! I'm trying to read the ones I have before getting any more.
DeleteI look forward to your thoughts on Metal Slinger. Nice haul here, Lindsi!
ReplyDeleteYay new books :D Love it
