In My Mailbox - August 7, 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 Near Witch by Victoria Schwab - I have heard way too many amazing things about this book, I must read this soon!

Shade and Shift by Jeri Smith-Ready - I LOVE, LOVE LOVE this series and if you like paranormal, with ghosts, a mystery and some romance then you will too. Oh and music!!! These are very special copies of the book I will cherish forever.

Not in picture but I also won a cookbook Make It Tonight from http://raymentsreadingsrantsandramblings.blogspot.com. Thanks Jen, I need all the help I can get!

I was part of the blog tour for Jeri and on the Pre-Shifter team and our team annoted copies of Shade & Shift (plus an ARC of Shine, the 3rd book, when it's ready)!!! See all those coloured stickies in the books...each one has a note about something on that page. Did you know Jeri has the word Magenta in nearly every book she writes?

In case you missed it a few days ago, I celebrated 2 years of blogging! I have a contest to win one of two books from book depo, click here to enter :D

    Those copies of 'Shade' and 'Shift' are so awesome!! How exciting. I actually bought 'Shift' this week because Costco had it, but I still don't own 'Shade', haha.

    That is absolutely WICKED awesome that you got them annotated! I still haven't read the series, but I want to. I'll seriously have to try and get them next time at the library. I always go crazy at the library and sometimes forget which books I actually went there for. Ha-ha!

    Happy 2 year blogoversary!

    I was so sad that Tod was defeated in the YA Crush Tourney by Team Zach fans... I guess I'll have to check out the series one day to see what everyone loves about him! Happy reading, Mel! :)
