In My Mailbox

May 23, 2010 by Arena Blake 3 Comments

In My Mailbox is a weekly feature that was started by Kristy at The Story Siren.
It’s a chance to learn about the books I received or bought this week.
From my elf:
My online book club recently had a book exchange. I actually received these books last week, but wanted to include them in my first In My Mailbox.
  The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson
and
Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver
I’m really excited to read Before I Fall for the 2010 Debut Author Challenge.
I’m going to have to wait for summer vacation to start TGWTDT, though. I’ve heard that it’s a bit dry in the beginning and I want time to devote my full attention to it.
For my collection:
The Body Finder by Kimberly Derting
I’ve heard great things about this one. I actually downloaded it from the iPad Kindle App.
Dead in the Family by Charlaine Harris
I’ve already reviewed this book here. I initially read in on my iPad.
But, I bought two copies of this book for the Charlaine Harris book signing last week. 🙂
For review:
Insatiable by Meg Cabot
This is the first Advanced Reading Copy I’ve received. Woohoo!
I was *so* excited when I pulled the package from the mailbox!
It included this “uncorrected proof” of the book, some bookmarks and postcards, along with a hand-written note from Meg Cabot!

 

Squeeeee! 🙂
This book is released June 8. I’m reading it now and am hooked!
I’ll post a review shortly before the release.And, one last time, don’t forget to enter The Book Scout’s 550 Followers Contest!

I guess that’s it for me — what books have you acquired this week?

Be sure to check back tomorrow for the long-awaited Dead in the Family signed book giveaway!

Happy Sunday!

    Before I Fall is amazing, and I'm very intrigued by Insatiable. I hear it's about vampires.. 😀

    And wow, a hand-written note from Meg! I hope you did a happy dance 🙂
