In My Mailbox (27)


In My Mailbox is a meme that I picked up from The Story Siren's blog. It's where we share the new books that we've gotten for that week with our readers. These books could be from the library, the store, or from the writers/publishers for review. Whatever the reason, I will share my new books every Sunday!

From Half Price Books


I had some AWESOME finds at Half Price Books this week. All of these were only a $1 each! I know! I love love love Simone Elkeles, so I was really excited when I saw Return to Paradise on sale. I've read it before, but I'm happy I own it no! The rest look super cute and I can't wait to dig into them! 

From my AWESOME Mom :)


My mom came home with this one for me (Thanks Mom!!!!!) and I'm super excited to read it! It sounds like something right out of The Devil Wears Prada, about a girl who is trying to make it in big but has to start as an assistant to a nightmare of a boss. I love the cover too! Hopefully the story ends up being as good as it sounds! 

From the Library

I went to my library before heading back to school (I've been on Spring Break) and it was SO hard not to check out every single new release they had. The libraries at my school (the university one and the local one) never have new releases, so I've fallen way behind on reading the books every one else is reviewing. There were probably eight I wanted to check out, but I have so much I already have to read that I limited myself to these two. Do you think I made good choices? They both look so good, so I hope they end up being worth my time! 


That's it for me! What all did you guys get this week? Please share!

Don't forget to check out my contemporary romance giveaway that ends March 15th! Two people will win TWO great books! Only one person has entered so far, so don't hesitate to sign up now

  2. The Breakup Bible and Kiss Crush Collide look good! That cover for Kiss Crush Collide is so hot. I know what you mean about library books. Today, I didn't know what I wanted to read so I just grabbed a bunch and then had to stop myself from taking more. It must be so hard for you with not to having those new releases all the time too.

  6. The Half Price books by me never has anything really appealing. It's brand new though so maybe it needs more time for things to flow in and out of there. What a good deal you got.

  36. I'm glad you found the Simone Elkeles book. I just read that trilogy a couple weeks ago! SOOO good. I didn't know Helen Fielding had written a new book so I'm interested in trying that out. And Claire Naylor is a great writer. I don't remember what I've read by her but I recognize that art on the cover and remember her name. :) Thanks for stopping my by IMM
