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 get a ton this week, but that's okay because I'm kind of behind on my reading as it is. Anyway, here is what I did get...
Pandemonium
By Lauren Oliver
Publisher: HarperTeen
Publication Date: February 28th, 2012
Source: Purchase
Goodreads Synopsis
Not only did I finally get my copy of this, but it is SIGNED! Yay Me! I also got a signed copy for one of my lucky followers, so don't forget to sign up for my GIVEAWAY!
Liesl & Po
By Lauren Oliver
Publisher: HarperCollins
Publication Date: October 4th, 2011
Source: Purchase
Goodreads Synopsis
I bought this for my 7 year old son as a "reward" for sitting through the author event so quietly, but I really bought it for me. Nothing wrong with killing two birds with one stone. Shhh! Don't tell him!
The Summer My Life Began
By Shannon Greenland
Publisher: Speak
Publication Date: May 10th, 2012
Source: ARC/NetGalley
Goodreads Synopsis
I saw this on someone's Waiting On Wednesday post awhile back, and it looked cute. I saw it on NetGalley, and decided to give it a shot. Stay tuned!
Endure
By Carrie Jones
Publisher: BloomsburyUSA
Publication Date: May 8th, 2012
Source: ARC/NetGalley
Goodreads Synopsis
I really liked the first two books in Carrie Jones's Need series (Need and Captivate), but had kind of mixed feelings about book #3 (Entice). I'm hoping Endure will redeem the series for me. I've been looking forward to this book for over a year...
Purity
By Jackson Pearce
Publisher: Little, Brown BFYR
Publication Date: April 24th, 2012
Source: ARC/Southern ARC Tours
Goodreads Synopsis
I'm a HUGE Jackson Pearce fangirl, and this is the first of her two books that are coming out this year (the other, Fathomless, will be out in the fall)! I am thrilled to be getting to read it. So far, so good!
Take a Bow
By Elizabeth Eulberg
Publisher: Point
Publication Date: April 1st, 2012
Source: ARC
Goodreads Synopsis
I forgot to mention this last week, but I'm pretty excited about reading it, so I wanted to mention it now. My daughter is a HUGE fan of Elizabeth's and she has already read this and says it's great.
Come here to find my (self-professed) expert opinions on all things related to the YA book world!

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

Oh! Oh! Pandemonium AND Purity. How awesome for you, Karis! I'm especially excited for YOU TO READ PANDEMONIUM. It is such a wrenching read and so very different from Delirium, so heartbreaking and wonderful, I hope you enjoy it :D
ReplyDeleteHave an amazing reading week!
