In My Mailbox ~ May 20, 2012

Hi fellow readers!! I know that I haven't been consistent with the blogging, and I apologize! I've had less time lately for blogging... it all depends on my kiddos! This week was an exhausting one. :P Someday I'll get the chance to vlog again.

Anyways, time for In My Mailbox! This is what I've gotten in the past few weeks:


I got a couple for review:

Code Name Verity | Elizabeth Wein

This isn't my normal read, but it's sounds sooo good! I'm gonna have to pick this up when I'm in the mood for something deep. I have a feeling I might cry with this one.

Wilde's Fire (Darkness Falls Book One) | Krystal Wade
 This one sounds like it could be amazing! I really like the cover too... especially when you look at it big!

I went out on Mother's Day and picked myself a couple books too:

The Peculiars | Maureen Doyle McQuerry

I got a signed copy!! I wasn't able to go to her signing, but they still had some signed ones for sale so I picked it up! I just LOVE this cover.

The Iron King (The Iron Fey #1) | Julie Kagawa

I found a used copy in perfect condition! Yay! I've been meaning to pick this one up for a very long time. I loved The Immortal Rules, so I have high hopes for this series! Woohoo for fae!

That's it for me!

In My Mailbox - August 7, 2011

It's In My Mailbox time! Woo! I really do love when we all share what we got for the week. :D

This week was mostly all about the adult paranormal romance books! First, let me show you the books I won.

I read this one this week. It was so good I went out and got the next one in the series!

I just finished this one, too! Such a great series.

So, that's what I got this week! What about you?

Shatter Me | Tahereh Mafi

I am so beyond excited for this one! If this were the only book I got this week, I would still be stoked. I got the ARC that doesn't have the cover. I kind of like that because I think it leaves more to the imagination.

I used to love these books when I was younger! I thought it was kind of neat to have an Advanced Readers Copy of an R.L. Stine book.

This book is like a children's picture book. It's awesome, and I think it's perfect for any book lover. :) So cute and funny! I should do a review of it.

Ignore the copy of Halfway to the Grave, it was from last week. I included it in the picture... who knows why. I guess I was still excited about it. :)

Gifted, just because:

Lisa, from Lisa the Nerd, sent me this super duper cute bookmark! Sweet, right? It was a surprise. I love it! I'm assuming she made it, because it's all crafty and has a J on it. Yay! I was going to share this a few weeks ago on a vlog, but I haven't done a vlog in a while.  : /

For Review via Netgalley:

Tris and Izzie | Mette Ivie Harrison

Surprisingly, this one is just up for grabs! You don't even have to be approved. I hope I can get around to reading this one!

Gifted:

Passion (Fallen #3) | Lauren Kate

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

Goodreads | Amazon

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

Goodreads | Amazon

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!
