In My Mailbox (27)

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.  Not a ton to report this week, but some good ones nonetheless...


Partials
By Dan Wells
Publisher:  Balzer+Bray
Publication Date:  February 28th, 2012
Source:  Purchase
Goodreads Synopsis
This one has been kind of eating at me to buy since I went to the signing at B&N last week.  I've been trying not to buy as many books, but I needed this one based on the reviews I've read and hearing Dan talk about it.
Illuminate
By Aimee Agresti
Publisher:  Houghton Mifflin Harcourt
Publication Date:  March 6th, 2012
Source: Library
Goodreads Synopsis
I really want to read this, but it is REALLY long, and I just don't know if I will have time before it's due back.  Might have to buy it...




Plunked
By Michael Northrop
Publisher:  Scholastic
Publication Date:  March 1st, 2012
Source: Library
Goodreads Synopsis
This book has a baseball on the cover, and since I am a HUGE baseball fan (Go Yankees!!), and a Softball Mom of two talented daughters, I had to give this one a shot.  Also, I really liked his writing when I read Trapped last year.
The Raft 
By S.A. Bodeen
Publisher:  Feiwel & Friends
Publication Date:  August 21st, 2012
Source:  ARC/NetGalley
Goodreads Synopsis
This book looks so good!  I've had my eye on in since I saw it in the Macmillan Kids catalog last year.  Last week I saw it from NetGalley on someone's IMM, and ran right over to request it.  SO excited!


Yesterday
By C.K. Kelly Martin
Publisher:  Random House BFYR
Publication Date:  September 25th, 2012
Source: ARC/NetGalley
Goodreads Synopsis
I hadn't heard of this one, but when I saw it on NetGalley, I had to get it.  It looks pretty awesome, doesn't it?

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
