In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by The Story Siren, where we all play show and tell with the books we received during the week!
Ok, I just bought two in the way of books this week---and no library check-outs! Amazing! :) I did include the magazine I picked up at Barnes during the week, thought it might be of interest to my fellow bloggers. Some really incredible stuff in there...it's just so pretty to look at! I was SO SO SO excited to pick up Gone and I had to track it down among a few different stores because it was selling so fast! I may even have to put my current read on hold to get going on this one! The third book shown, Wild Magic, is actually something I came across in the children's section of Barnes, but I thought it might have some good cross-over appeal for those of us who love the retelling of old fairy tales. It tells what happened after the Pied Piper led the children out of Hamlin---right into a fantastical world of magic and danger!!
Gone by Lisa McMann

Ooh, I so want to read Gone! I'll have to go and get it soon. Happy Reading!
ReplyDeleteGreat books! I haven't managed to get that far in the Wake series yet, but I know loads of people are anxious for Gone. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteWild Magic sounds interesting. I love fairy tale retellings. I'm glad you were able to track down a copy of Gone. I hate when you go to the book store specifically to buy a particular book sure that it will be waiting for you and then it is not. Now I usually shop online because there isn't a good bookstore nearby.
ReplyDeleteI am curious about that magazine you purchased, Artful Blogging. Is it more about art, or blogging, or blogging about art?
Thanks for visiting my blog!
I would like to read Gone. Here's Mine
ReplyDeletegone is amazing. I just love Lisa.
