In My Mailbox (118) Where I Cleaned Out My Shelves and Find New Books

In My Mailbox, inspired by Pop Culture Junkie and hosted by The Story Siren.

Over the last couple of weeks I cleaned out around 60 books from my shelves-mostly adult books that was never going to read again or that I just was not interested in. Needless to say that after trading them in for credit at one of the bookstores here I immediately bought some to replace them with.
A huge thank you to Penguin and Audiobook Jukebox and AudioGo, as well, as to whoever decided to trade in the awesome titles by some of my favorite authors.

Y'all, I am so very excited to have found three out of four of the Pit Dragon Chronicle books (love that series and cannot wait to find the one I am missing and reread them all). And the fact that I was able to find two Madeleine L'Engle, a Mercedes Lackey, and Dragonsong by Anne McCaffrey is just icing on the cake. =)

Yes, I have never read Little Women...okay, I've only read the abridged versions, but that so does not count. So I am very excited to listen to the audiobook of it. Freshman Year & The Oriental Casebook both sound highly entertaining and I cannot wait to start them.

What do y'all think of this week's books? Any y'all are excited to read or that you loved?

Please, feel free to leave a link to your IMM, so that I can check out the awesomeness that you got this week.
