In My Mailbox {81}

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

I was a good girl and didn't buy any books this week (although I'm tempted to visit the Borders sale one more time tomorrow since it's supposedly in the final weeks. ) Did get some incredible goodies from publishers and authors, though! Have a look-see:

For Review:
The Game of Triumphs by Laura Powell
This one looks really unique. Sounds like it takes the whole "fate is in the cards" think to a whole new level!

Ingenue by Jillian Larkin
The first book, Vixen, was fantastic. I love reading about this era, it's one of my favorites for fashion, attitude, music...love the 20's.

Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi
*faints* I've been dying to get my hands on this one!!

Juliet Immortal by Stacey Jay
*faints again* I almost bought this one last week! I can't wait to read it.

The Veil by Cory Putman Oaks
Not sure how I discovered this one, but its sounds amazing. Sent a request right after reading the synopsis.

For review (cont.)
Reaching through Time by Lurlene McDaniels
I've never tried this author, but this looks interesting! I've been enjoying the time travel stories lately!

The Project by Brian Falkner
Hubby and I are both planning to read this one soon! Hidden secrets, Da Vinci, and something to do with WWII---this one definitely sounds exciting!

Table Manners for Teens by Walter Hoving, illustrated by Joe Eula
This book is so cool! I'll be reviewing it, even though it's non-fiction. I love all things vintage, so this was right up my alley. Its a reprint of a book that was originally sold at Tiffany's, illustrated by a famed fashion illustrator from the early 60s. SO cool. :)

Hooked by Catherine Greenman
Sounds like a heart-wrencher!

Big thanks to HarperTeen, Random House, and Cory Putman Oakes for all these lovelies!
