In My Mailbox (IMM) was started by The Story Siren a few years back, and is a great way for bloggers to give the books they are reading (or are planning to read) a quick mention. I didn't do an IMM last week because of Banned Books Week, so I've actually got two weeks worth of great books to report!
As I Wake
By Elizabeth Scott
Publisher: Dutton Juvenile
I've been looking forward to this book for awhile and am super excited to read it.I think Elizabeth Scott is great, and what about this cover? Amazing!
Away
By Teri Hall
Publisher: Dial Books for Young Readers
I really enjoyed The Line, which was the first book in this series. I have been waiting for this one for awhile! If you haven't read The Line and like a good dystopia, you should definitely give it a shot!
Bloodlines
By Richelle Mead
Publisher: Razorbill
Publication Date: August 23rd, 2011

I've been waiting for this for ages. I haven't read her other books, but I wanted to give this a shot since it's the start of a new series.

Werewolves? On the Titanic? Enough said. I haven't read any of Claudia Gray's other books, but the premise of this one is just too good. I had to check it out!

Um. I was over-the-top in love with this guy through Jr. and Sr. HS. I still might be a little bit... I've never readthis and it was on my banned books list, so I had to find out why. I <3 Nikki Sixx. Shh. Don't tell anyone.

I had to check this out. If you're a blogger, you've read at least a couple of rave reviews. I need to find out for myself what all the hype is about. Plus, I like the cover.

Fateful sounds good! And I'm planning to celebrate (if that is the right word) the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic next year by reading Titanic themed books. So this goes on my TBR. Thanks!
