In My Mailbox {74}


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



Bought:
13 Little Blue Envelopes by Maureen Johnson
Recommendation after recommendation of this finally wore me down, had to grab myself a copy!

Cryer's Cross by Lisa McMann (my review)
Finally got myself my own copy of this, I read it already on an ARC tour. SO good!

Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro
Finally found this in the original hardcover edition! GUYS, this book is one of my favorites. It's amazing. If you haven't done so, read it.

Beauty Queens by Libba Bray
So, I recently passed up a review pitch for this one (like an idiot!) because my tbr pile was and is just insanely large. But after hearing so many amazing things, I couldn't pass it up at Half Price Books today. So I bought it :)

Gifted:
The Revenant by Sonia Gensler
The wonderfully sweet Shannon @ Stalking the Bookshelves gifted me this awesome signed, personalized copy! So excited---this one sounds so creepy and amazing!! Thanks so much, again, Shannon!! Love the pretty bookmark, too!


New On My Nook...


From Netgalley:
The Sleepwalkers by J. Gabriel Gates
This one sounds beyond creepy. Like I-might-have-nightmares-creepy. Sleepwalking in general creeps me out, but the synopsis along gives me goosebumps! So...excited to read this!

Purchased:
Beautifully Broken by Sherry Soule
Witches, spooky manors, and a ghost with a vengeful agenda? Sounds amazing and yet another spooky one for this weeks IMM!

So, that's what I got this week! What was in your mailbox? :D

    Great books this week! Beauty Queen is on my TBR list and I enjoyed 13 Little Blue Envelopes. It made me want to plan a trip to Europe immediately. I am going to read the sequel soon as well. Enjoy your books!

    Can I say that I love your bookshelf? I'm drawn to it like a moth to light.

    And, I absolutely adored Cryer's Cross though I didn't expect to. I think you'll be bowled away by Jacian. He's definitely swoon-worthy.

  20. JennyJuly 10, 2011 at 12:41 PM

    I'm with Ruby, I want your bookshelves. All my books are currently stacked on the floor, I need nice pretty shelves to display them like you have! I've heard good things about Beauty Queens, I'm really looking forward to that one:)

    I love the picture of your bookcase! It looks so neat and organized... not woefully overstuffed and sloppy, like mine.

  24. Little Miss BeckyJuly 10, 2011 at 3:09 PM

    Haha..thanks, ladies, for the bookshelf comments. They are not as neat as they appear to be...the other shelves do have some stuck in sideways and there are definitely overstuffed spots. My hubby made me the wall of bookshelves for last mother's day. Maybe I will do a bookshelf tour sometime soon. :)

    Sleepwalkers looks really awesome. I'm waiting on getting Beauty Queens on audiobook through the public library, but don't know how much longer I'm willing to hold out. Enjoy!
