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
By Lisa McMann
Publisher: Simon Pulse
Publication Date: February 7th, 2012
Source: Purchase
Goodreads Synopsis
I've been waiting for this one to come out and am really excited to read it!  Lisa McMann is great, and I'm always pleased with her books!  Stay tuned.


The Fine Art of Truth or Dare
By Melissa Jensen
Publisher: Speak
Publication Date: February 16th, 2012
Source: Purchase
Goodreads Synopsis
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
By Aaron Karo
Publisher: Farrar, Straus, and Giroux BYR
Publication Date: April 10th, 2012
Source: ARC/Publisher
Goodreads Synopsis
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...


After the Snow
By S.D. Crockett
Publisher: Feiwel & Friends
Publication Date: March 27th, 2012
Source: ARC/Publisher
Goodreads Synopsis
Another one I received awhile back via NetGalley.  This came in the same package as Lexapros and Cons.  I'm really excited for this one!




Now
By Morris Gleitzman
Publisher: Henry Holt BYR
Publication Date: June 5th, 2012
Source: ARC/NetGalley
Goodreads Synopsis
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
By James Preller
Publisher: Feiwel & Friends
Publication Date: July 17th, 2012
Source: ARC/NetGalley
Goodreads Synopsis
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...


Monstrous Beauty
By Elizabeth Fama
Publisher: Farraf, Straus, and Giroux BYR
Publication Date: September 4th, 2o12
Source: ARC/NetGalley
Goodreads Synopsis
I get chills every time I read the synopsis!  This book looks amazing, and I am so excited to be one of the lucky ones to get it!




Shadow & Bone
By Leigh Bardugo
Publisher: Henry Holt BYR
Publication Date: June 5th, 2012
Source: ARC/NetGalley
Goodreads Synopsis
This book looks so freaking good.  The few reviews I have seen have been phenomenal, and I can't wait to dig into it!  Stay tuned!




Monument 14
By Emmy Laybourne
Publisher: Feiwel & Friends
Publication Date: June 5th, 2012
Source: ARC/NetGalley
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
Source: ARC/NetGalley
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).


Struck
By Jennifer Bosworth
Publisher: Farrar, Straus, and Giroux BYR
Publication Date: May 8th, 2012
Source: ARC/NetGalley
Goodreads Synopsis
Another much-anticipated debut.  This looks like a very unique story, and that is always a good thing!  Also, I kind of love the cover...




All These Lives
By Sarah Wylie
Publisher: Farrar, Straus, and Giroux BYR
Publication Date: June 5th, 2012
Source: ARC/NetGalley
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...
The Book of Blood and Shadow
By Robin Wasserman
Publisher: Random House Children's Books
Publication Date: April 10th, 2012
Source: ARC/NetGalley
Goodreads Synopsis
I requested this awhile ago and got denied, but decided to try again, and viola!  I got approved, which is really good, because I really, REALLY want to read this!


Burn Mark

Publisher: Bloomsbury USA
Publication Date: June 19th, 2012

I love witch stories, especially those that involve persecution.  This book looks great, and I'm super excited to read it!

  1. Aw, I love how organized is your IMM post.
    And so many great books too! I'd love to read Monument 14, After The Snow, Before You Go the most, but all of them look read-a-licious, to say the least.

    Enjoy them all!

    My IMM is here. <3

Thanks for visiting my blog! I adore comments since they make me feel special and loved, just please don't spam me. I'm not interested in vacation offers, millions of dollars from Nigeria, or anything not book related!

Also, this is an award-free blog. As flattered as I am, I just don't have time. I'm happy if I have time to post all of my reviews on time, and am a momma of three to boot, but I appreciate the thoughts! XO
