In My Mailbox is a meme created by The Story Siren and inspired by Alea of Pop Culture Junkie! It is a list of what books you have received over the previous week, either in the mail, from the bookstore, from the library, or from trades. =]

–Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver (!!!)
From trades:

–Perchance To Dream by Lisa Mantchev (!!!)
–Unclaimed Heart by Kim Wilkins
–Finnkin Of The Rock by Melina Marchetta
From contests:
–Fallen by Lauren Kate
–Everlasting by Angie Frazier (signed to me!)
–Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick
–The Fetch by Laura Whitcomb
From bookstores:
–Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl
–Some Girls Are by Courtney Summers
–Frozen Fire by Tim Bowler
Hmm, where to start this week? I am so excited to read Before I Fall. Ever since I first heard about it, I have been intrigued and I finally have a copy. As to the books from my trade, all I have to say is that Kelsey is AMAZING! She was so awesome and got me some ARC’s from The Strand and I don’t know which one to start with. I love the cover for Perchance To Dream. It’s definitely as pretty as Eyes Like Stars, maybe even prettier. Also, I have been really lucky with contests lately and I got some of my wins this week. Then of course I had to buy some. =]
Just a quick note to anybody who trades books, I would love for you to check out my trading list. I updated it today and I would love to clear out some old books and get some new ones. The wishlist that is on the post is not my full one so if you don’t have anything on that list, it’s okay. I do except other books, all you need to do is email me with a list of books that you have to trade and the books that you are interested in.
What was in your mailbox this week?

In My Mailbox 48
In My Mailbox is a meme created by The Story Siren and inspired by Alea of Pop Culture Junkie! It is a list of what books you have received over the previous week, either in the mail, from the bookstore, from the library, or from trades. =]
For review:
–Lockdown by Walter Dean Myers
–Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver (!!!)
From trades:
–Little Miss Red by Robin Palmer
–Fairy Tale by Cyn Balog
–Perchance To Dream by Lisa Mantchev (!!!)
–Unclaimed Heart by Kim Wilkins
–Finnkin Of The Rock by Melina Marchetta
From contests:
–Fallen by Lauren Kate
–Everlasting by Angie Frazier (signed to me!)
–Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick
–The Fetch by Laura Whitcomb
From bookstores:
–Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl
–Some Girls Are by Courtney Summers
–Frozen Fire by Tim Bowler
Hmm, where to start this week? I am so excited to read Before I Fall. Ever since I first heard about it, I have been intrigued and I finally have a copy. As to the books from my trade, all I have to say is that Kelsey is AMAZING! She was so awesome and got me some ARC’s from The Strand and I don’t know which one to start with. I love the cover for Perchance To Dream. It’s definitely as pretty as Eyes Like Stars, maybe even prettier. Also, I have been really lucky with contests lately and I got some of my wins this week. Then of course I had to buy some. =]
Just a quick note to anybody who trades books, I would love for you to check out my trading list. I updated it today and I would love to clear out some old books and get some new ones. The wishlist that is on the post is not my full one so if you don’t have anything on that list, it’s okay. I do except other books, all you need to do is email me with a list of books that you have to trade and the books that you are interested in.
What was in your mailbox this week?
