In My Mailbox: January 15, 2012

In My Mailbox (IMM) is a meme hosted weekly by Kristi at The Story Siren.

Here's what I got this week!

From the library,  I got Across the Universe by Beth Revis, Unison Spark by Andy Marino, Lola and the Boy Next Door by Stephanie Perkins, and Legend by Marie Lu.

From the bookstore, I bought The Fault in Our Stars by John Green (an autographed copy!) and A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin.

From Net Galley, for review, I got Caught in Crystal by Patricia C. Wrede and Invasion by Jon S. Lewis.

From Pulse It, for review, I got Bittersweet by Sarah Ockler.

Since I haven't even read most of the books that I got last week, I have plenty of books to keep me busy for a while!  What's in your mailbox this week?  Leave me a comment and I'll stop by your blog!

In My Mailbox: January 8, 2012

In My Mailbox (IMM) is a meme hosted weekly by Kristi at The Story Siren.

This week, I purchased Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi and Prized (Birthmarked, #2) by Caragh M. O'Brien.

I have been waiting for Prized since I finished Birthmarked, the first book in the trilogy, last year.  I picked up Shatter Me because I've read rave reviews of it and decided I just had to read it myself!

My public library allows you to check out books for the Kindle, and this week I found out that a lot of books I've been wanting to read are available that way!  I borrowed Mastiff (The Legend of Beka Cooper, #3) by Tamora Pierce, The Declaration by Gemma Malley, Across the Universe by Beth Revis, and The Time Paradox (Artemis Fowl, #6) by Eoin Colfer.

Free from Amazon for the Kindle, I got Tortured:  A bridge story between Birthmarked and Prized by Caragh M. O'Brien.

From NetGalley, for review, I received Quest for the Scorpion's Jewel by Amy Green, Endworlds by Nicholas Read, Neurogastronomy by Gordon Shepherd, and The Kitchen as Laboratory edited by Cesar Vega, Job Ubbink, and Erik van der Linden.


I have a ton to read now!  Reviews are forthcoming (in the near- or, not so near, future) for most of these titles.

In My Mailbox: Jan 10-16

In My Mailbox is a meme hosted by The Story Siren as a way to share what books we got over the past week.




I purchased XVI by Julia Carr.

I also got a load of books from NetGalley!  (If you've never used it, it's an awesome site where you can get advance copies of books online.  You have to read them on your computer- no print copies- but if you don't mind that, then it's a great way to read a lot of books well before their release dates.)


The Atomic Weight of Secrets or The Arrival of the Mysterious Men in Black by Eden Unger Bowditch
My Favorite Band Does Not Exist by Robert T Jeschonek
Lost Voices by Sarah Porter
The Cellar by A J Whitten
Trickster's Girl by Hilari Bell


Sadly, I start classes again this week so I'm not going to have as much time to read as I did over the break.  I'm going to read the books I have but my blog posts are going to start being a mix of book posts and random life posts again.  This blog started out as a personal blog and I don't want to lose that aspect of it even as I post more book reviews and such.  =)
