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--this past week was a fantastic one for me!

  • If You Only Knew and What Goes Around (Hotlanta novels) by Denene Millner & Mitzi Miller (won from Denise Jaden's "My Bookshelf Giveaway"), plus some bookmarks!--I have some teens who are going to love these titles!


ARCs received from the publisher:
  • From Penguin--thank you!
    • So Much Closer by Susanne Colasanti (squee!)
    • Chime by Franny Billingsley
    • The Locket by Stacey Jay
    • 2 samplers: Breathless Reads and Destination Elsewhere

  • From EgmontUSA--thank you! (EgmontUSA was one of the publishers featured in the Booklist webinar I attended last week.)
    • Hourglass by Myra McEntire
    • Family by Micol Ostow
  • From Macmillan--thank you! (Macmillan was another publisher from the webinar.)
    • The Fox Inheritance (sequel to The Adoration of Jenna Fox) by Mary E. Pearson

Whew--I've got my work cut out for me! Don't even know what I should read first!
What did you get?
Enjoy your reading!
