In My Mailbox - July 17, 2011



In My Mailbox is a meme hosted by The Story Siren where we show what books have found a new home with us!

This week I got :


The Unwanteds by Lisa McMann is an MG book that was touted as “The Hunger Games meets Harry Potter” by Kirkus Reviews

Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi finally has a cover now, and there's been so much buzz, I'm so curious!

A Beautiful Dark by Jocelyn Davies. I love the idea of fate so am eager for this one!

I forgot to add it in the picture, but I finally picked up Lament by Maggie Stiefvater! I was at her signing yesterday and this was the only book I didn't own.

What did you get?

    Ooh, you got Shatter Me?! I'm so jealous, though I hope you enjoy it. And yay for Lament! Have you read Ballad, the companion/sequel to it? It's my favorite book of Maggie's. Happy reading! :)
