In My Mailbox {39}

In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by The Story Siren, where we all share what we got during the week!

Oh, we've had our first few wonderful rainy days here, and I've immediately broken out the hot chocolate and blankies to snug up on the couch and read with. I've got some good stuff here for just that purpose! Take a look:

For review:
Solid by Sherry Workinger (signed + bookmark!)
This one really sounds interesting---a genetic experiment on pregnant women gone awry has left some teens with extraordinary powers! Thanks, Sherry, for asking me to review it!

Bought:
Museum of Thieves by Lian Tanner
So terribly excited to dig into this one! I read the preview on amazon and when it came to the end of it I was like,"Nooooo! I need more!" Was at Barnes the next day with this one in hand.

Eon by Allison Goodman
The description very much makes this sound like a retelling of Mulan with dragons...which basically meant I had. to. have. it!!

Library check-outs:
The Prince of Mist by Carlos Ruiz Zafon
Recently saw a cool recommendation of this on YA Addict as a book that seriously freaked her out! Sounded like the perfect Halloween read!!

Lastly, I got the cutest little bookmark at Barnes---holographic cupcakes!! I couldn't pass it up! :D

Can't wait to see what everyone got this week!

    Museum of Thieves looks pretty interesting.

    on another note: I'm such ditz! I pasted the wrong link for Aisle B for my loot of Oct 24th. Here's the right link ...check out my HELLO KITTY books! So excited to get these for my niece!
