In My Mailbox - August 14, 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 :

Virals by Kathy Reichs (I love her Temperance Brennan books so hoping to enjoy her first foray into YA)

Crossed by Ally Condie (Matched ended on such a cliffhanger, I need to know what happened to Cassia and Ky)

Bloodrose by Andrea Cremer (the final book of a trilogy I am loving)


Legacy by Katherine Webb (I am a sucker for books that deal with family secrets)

13 Reasons Why by Jay Asher (now if you follow my blog you will know I am not for dark books, but this has touched so many people and if the message is that powerful, I'm all for it!)

The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater (by one of my favorite authors, I can't wait to read this!)

Thanks to Scholastic Canada and Harper Collins. A huge thanks to Penguin Canada for a great night Wednesday and hosting the YA focus group. I met some fabulous bloggers! **waves Hi to Nicole, JennBrennaGwenythErinJackie and Bronwyn!**

What goodies did you get this week?

I also have two great giveaways going on this week:
