In My Mailbox (22)

In My Mailbox is an Internet meme hosted by The Story Siren to share new books received, purchased, or borrowed.

Here's what I got this week!

Purchased:

• Lessons From a Dead Girl by Jo Knowles (I've wanted to read this forever. My library doesn't own it and it's not available for my nook. Barnes and Noble sent me a coupon, and I get free expedited shipping for being a member, so I "splurged"--$6.90)

Downloaded to my nook:

• Rival by Sarah Bennett Wealer
• Angel by James Patterson

Received from publishers:

• ARCs from Disney-Hyperion--thank you!:
• Putting Makeup on Dead People by Jennifer Violi
• Sharks & Boys by Kristen Tracy
• Finished copy from Tor--thank you!
• Jack: Secret Vengeance by F. Paul Wilson (#3 of Young Jack trilogy)

eGalleys:

• from Simon & Schuster's Galley Grab:
• Between Here and Forever by Elizabeth Scott (squee!)
• Boyfriends with Girlfriends by Alex Sanchez
• from NetGalley:
• The Last Little Blue Envelope by Maureen Johnson (squee!)
• Bumped by Megan McCafferty (double squee!)
• Long Gone by Alafair Burke (not YA but sounds really interesting!)

Won:

• From a contest at Galleysmith: Mermaid's Mirror by L.K. Madigan

For review, from I am a Reader, Not a Writer (from "Free to a Good Home: Books Needing Review"):

• Googlelize Your Life by Jeff VanDrimmelen

Borrowed from the library:

• Hate List by Jennifer Brown (to re-read before I booktalk it at juvenile detention next week--for the first of our Great Stories Club booktalks!

Lots of great stuff, no? I think I'm going to prioritize and read all the eGalleys once I've finished Hate List.

Please forgive me for not responding to comments today. My daughter and I are on a much-needed mommy-daughter road trip. If you'd like, I'll tell you all about it when we get back!

Enjoy your reading!
