In My Mailbox - June 26, 2011

In My Mailbox is a meme that is hosted by The Story Siren. It's a fun way to share what books we got for the week. They can be from publishers, the library, bought, or whatever. They don't have to be from the mailbox. Mine usually aren't! 



Sorry guys, I am much too lazy right now to do a vlog. : P So, pretty pictures only this week!

Bought:

I wasn't going to buy any books this week, but then I realized I had a $10 credit on my Borders Rewards account that was going to expire. Just a great excuse to go pick up a couple books that I've been wanting for a while!

Starcrossed | Josephine Angelini
Goodreads | Amazon
I wish she had been at the Portland stop of the Dark Days tour! I would love to have a signed copy of this book. I can't wait to read it.

Dragon Bound | Thea Harrison
Goodreads | Amazon
I'm pretty excited for this one! I think it will be my next read. I love the cover, and I've heard awesome things about it. 

Gifted:

Passion (Fallen #3) | Lauren Kate
Goodreads | Amazon
This book was sent to me by one of my twitter buddies, Wanda. She just offered it to me. How awesome is that? I was afraid to just give someone I don't know my address, but luckily she turned out to really be the the awesome person on twitter and not a creepo. Yay! Thank you Wanda. That was so nice of you.

For review (from NetGalley):

Wisdom's Kiss | Catherine Gilbert Murdock
Ok, I think I actually got this one 2 weeks ago, but I had asked for it FOREVER ago, but just now got apporoved. Now that I have a million new books to read. I hope I can get to it! It doesn't release until September, so I think I'll be able to read it before then. 


The Star Shard | Frederic S. Durbin

Sent by the Author:


 Nova Ren Suma tweeted that if anyone wanted a signed bookplate, they could send her their address that day (last week). I don't have the book yet, but I plan on getting it soon! I think the card is so cute, too!

  10. Wow, Jen, you received so many great books this week! :D I was debating on getting Starcrossed from Borders this week, too, but I got a bday present for a friend with my 40% coupon instead. We're getting Dragon Bound for our library collection, and Wisdom's Kiss looks like a great book! I hope you enjoy all of them, happy reading! :)

  11. Awesome mailbox! I can't wait to see what you think of Dragon Bound, I just loved that one. It was such a different paranormal romance I thought:) I really enjoyed Starcrossed as well!

  12. Great mailbox!

    I got the Starcrossed book too and the cover is shiny as well. It's amazing! :) I haven't read it yet, but I've heard many great things about it. I need to start it soon.

    I like the cover of Imaginary Girls too. It's simple and nice!

    Happy reading!

  16. Passion--what a nice gift!! I just finished it, and it completely blew me away. Seems like some people love this series, and some really don't, but I am definitely one who loves it! :) Starcrossed was also amazing---I got so attached to those characters!

    Yes, you beat me this week! LOL :D Happy reading, Jen!

  18. Bookplates are so cool, I love it!

    I still think you should join the toga party anyways for Starcrossed :) I want to see what your picture would look like.

    People are so nice, that is very awesome that they sent you Passion. I still need to get that book. I think I'm going to buy it soon.

  20. at first I was like aww yay Stracrossed... Then I saw Your Imaginary Girls... You dont know how much I would give for that book! I'm hoping I have enough spare cash this month to pay for a copy (it'll cost a bit cos I have to get it shipped over!)
    I hope you enjoy all your books, but especially IG!
