In My Mailbox - September 18, 2011



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


Outside the Ordinary World by Dori Ostermiller - I won this from booktrib.com. It's a story about love and betrayal and regrets!
A Million Suns by Beth Revis - the second book in the Across the Universe series. I wouldn't call myself a huge sci-fi fan but I loved Across the Universe so can't wait for the story to continue.
The Catastrophic History of You & Me by Jess Rothernberg - I'm always up for love stories and this title plus Lauren Olivers blurb sold me :D
..and see that card, it's an invitation to TD Canadian Children's Literature Awards! Thank you so much The Canadian Children's Book Centre (CCBC), it is an honor to be invited.

Circle of Fire by Michelle Zink - the final book of this trilogy :(
The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern - I think this was my most anticipated book for 2011.
Sweetly by Jackson Pearce - a companion to Sisters Red which was a fun read last year
Random House Canada organized a fun party for the launch day of The Night Circus. In the middle on downtown Toronto (and Vancouver) they had a uni-cyclist juggling, lady on stilts, popcorn...and free books! Dressed up in black and white with red scarves (if you've read the book you will know why) are the RH crew, literally handing out books to passer-bys, likely on their way to school or work. I met up with Nicole from All I Ever Read plus I finally had the chance to mee Jess and Lindsey from RH in person. What a way to start off the work day :D

    I couldn't seem to get through Across the Universe but I'm thinking I've got to give it another try. Everyone seems to love them so much. I've been seeing the Night Circus around a lot. Gonna have to check that one out in more detail.

    Great books this week! Here's my IMM: http://amandalynsbooks.blogspot.com/2011/09/in-my-mailbox-4.html
