In My Mailbox (31)

2:22 PM

In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by Kristi at The Story Siren where we share any new books or goodies we bought, received, borrowed, etc. during the week. 

This week I got...


Received for Review:

I'd like to extend lots of warm thanks to Random House Canada and Simon & Schuster Canada! They sure kept my mailbox unusually busy this week! 

Bought:

I've already read and reviewed both Abandon and Divergent, but I bought the finished copies this week especially in anticipation of their book signings in Toronto soon! (More details can be found on those upcoming book signings in my May summary post of YA events in Canada.) 

I've been looking forward to the third installment in the Wings series too so I just had to buy it while I was at the bookstore as well. My sister really wanted Susane Colasanti's latest novel so the book is hers but we read each other's books...

What about YOU? Any new reads/finds this week?

And as always... Happy Reading!

    I'm going through a huge contemp phase so I'm really forward to your review on So Much Closer! I haven't read the Wings series yet. Not sure if it's really my thing. Guess I'll have to check out a couple reviews. And Divergent! You already know how I feel about it :)

    I got Divergent too! It might be sitting on my shelf for a while though :P
    I'm super curious about Blood Red Road, it sounds really good. And Wildefire! Can't wait to hear about that one. Happy reading!

    I ended up really liking So Much Closer so hope both you and your sister will like it too. Worst Vampire Ever looks like a fun read, I haven't heard too much about it though. Happy reading!

    Awesome books! I NEED to buy Divergent but must. resist. until. testing season ends. Blood Red Road and Wildefire also look really good (Karsten Knight is HILARIOUS), and the others I haven't heard much of but they sound fun. Enjoy, and I'll look forward to reading your reviews! :)

    So many good books this week Liz! I can't wait to get Divergent, I'm dying to read that one:) I loved Abandon, I'm on a Greek mythology kick of late so that one was right up my alley. Enjoy all those!

    I am looking forward to Wildefire and Divergent as well. I completed Xannu - The Prophecy last week and reviewed it : http://wp.me/pP183-1Vm

    Right now, I am reading 'The Red Pyramid' by Rick Riordan.

    Okay, I have to go see what the 'Worst. Vampire. Ever.' is about, lol. It sounds awesome with the title alone.

    Hope you enjoy them all. :)

    Here's what I got if you want to take a look (you really don't have to, lol ):

    Oh 'Divergent'... loveee it.

    Lots of good books this week. I haven't read 'Wings' but I have the eBook to read at some point, so I'm looking forward to that.

    Honey- There as SO MANY good contemp novels to reads so it shouldn't be a problem for your phase!

    Laura- You obviously have more restraint than me... I wouldn't be able to let Divergent sit on my shelf without reading it!

    Lucy (Moonlight Gleams)- haha, an official request to see my bookshelves? I'll definitely have to do some sort of post one day considering I set up my new bookcase not long ago but I don't really know how to create a vlog. lol, I know, I know... what a fail on my part...

    Jessica- As soon as I read the title and description, I laughed! I'm going to check out your IMM in a sec! Can't wait to see what books you got!
