In My Mailbox (3)


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

This week I mysteriously got VERY lucky and won some awesome contests and giveaways. And I bought a book. But yes, so lucky!

WON

Inside Out and Inside in by Maria V. Snyder (note: I won a contest but I honestly can't remember which one. I received these from the author directly with some awesome swag and they're signed saying I won a contest, but I can't remember which one! I'm full of fail). Thanks so much, Maria!

Ruby Red by Kerstin Gier (thanks so much Macmillan Kids on Twitter!)

Dreamland Social Club by Tara Altebrando (ARC) and Miles from Ordinary by Carol Lynch Williams (ARC) from Rachel at Fiktshun. Thanks so much!

Some random adult books from Goodreads and Atria Books!

A Sheep Amidst The Wolves by Vinny Haddad. Thanks Vinny and Goodreads!

Some awesome swag from Jena at Shortie Says. Thanks so much Jena!

Also won two other books not pictured won off Goodreads but currently being read by my mother. I won SEVEN books in a week. SEVEN. If you never thought it was possible, think again.

BOUGHT

Paranormalcy by Kiersten White. (PS YA at Borders is 25% off and they keep getting newly released books).

Thanks so much everyone for the awesome prizes that made my week all the better! If you didn't hear, my black lab (whose 12th birthday is tomorrow) was diagnosed with a mass in his abdomen last week, on top of my troubles finding a job, so things have been...not so good lately. But this just makes things a bit better! :D

So what's in YOUR mailbox?

  2. Wow! You had a great week! I LOVE LOVE LOVE Maria's books! I read anything and everything she publishes! She's a very nice lady too! I've traveled pretty far to meet her, twice!

    Wished that my Borders stores would get some new releases. Haven't seen any new releases from my calendar this week. Gotta find a new place to get my books and still save. Still so sad!

    Happy Reading!
