In My Mailbox (24)

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've skipped the past few weeks, so I have a bunch of books to mention, including a glut of NetGalley books (I have a problem!), so bear with me...

Dead to You

The Fine Art of Truth or Dare
By Melissa Jensen
Publisher: Speak
Publication Date: February 16th, 2012

Aside from the facts that the cover is great and the title is awesome, I wanted this book because it looks like a really cute story.  I can't wait until I can get to reading it.  In the meantime, it makes me happy to know it's waiting for me.

Lexapros and Cons

I got the NetGalley of this awhile back, and then the other day my husband brought it in with the mail.  If it's as funny as I'm expecting it to be, maybe I'll do a giveaway...

The third, and final installment in Morris Gleitzman's trilogy about two friends living Nazi occupied Poland during WWII.  It's sure to be as amazing as the first two installments, Once and Then.

Before You Go

This book looks like one of those gut-wrenching, tear-jerkers that stays with you long after you read it.  I can't believe I'm finding myself looking forward to one of those days when I want to this type of book...

Goodreads Synopsis
Click the synopsis link and tell me this book doesn't sound awesome!  I love survival stories, especially when the survivors are stuck together and don't necessarily like each other.  I'll let you know how it is!

Of Poseidon
By Anna Banks
Publisher: Feiwel & Friends
Publication Date: May 22nd, 2012

Goodreads Synopsis
I've been looking forward to this one, so I'm kind of antsy, but I promised myself I would read my ARCs in order of release date, so I'm waiting (and pouting ever-so-slightly).

Goodreads Synopsis
I don't know if it's fair to any author for me to read any kids-with-cancer book in the same lifetime as John Green's amazing The Fault in Our Stars, but this one has twins, and being the mom of twins, I'm a sucker for twin books, so...
