In My Mailbox (4)

In My Mailbox is a weekly meme started by The Story Siren where bloggers share what books we have either received or purchased that week.

This is a huge backlog from since I've come back from vacation. I (unwisely) chose to unfreeze my holds a few days before my return. Needless to say I am now inundated with way too many books. 

From the library:

Dead Rules by Randy Russell

City of Bones (Mortal Instruments #1) by Cassandra Clare

What Would My Cellphone Do? by Micol Ostow

 Crush Control by Jennifer Jabaley

Forgotten by Cat Patrick

Belladonna by Mary Finn

The Forgotten Locket (Hourglass Door Trilogy #3) by Lisa Mangum

The Eternal Sea (Everlasting #2) by Angie Frazier

Forever (Wolves of Mercy Falls #3) by Maggie Stiefvater (audiobook)

I had been literally checking my library account FOREVER, uh, every single day waiting for them to get it processed and on the shelf to me--that was a time when I wish my employee status got me the book faster.

The Ruby Notebook by Laura Resau

Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs

Lament: The Faerie Queen's Deception (Books of Faerie #1) by Maggie Stiefvater

Ballad: A Gathering of Faerie (Books of Faerie #2) by Maggie Stiefvater

I procrastinated way too long to read Maggie's other books after admitting my love of the Wolves of Mercy Falls series. I have no excuse for my failure but I will rectify it immediately.

Are You Going to Kiss Me Now? by Sloane Tanen

The premise put me in mind a bit of Beauty Queens by Libba Bray so we'll see how it goes.

Where Things Come Back by John Corey Whaley

Kiss Me Kill Me (Scarlett Wakefield #1) by Lauren Henderson

Cloaked by Alex Flinn

And to add even more stuff to my mailbox I ran across some more unbeatable deals at both barnesandnoble.com and amazon.com for books all under $4.

Bought:

My Most Excellent Year: A Novel of Love, Mary Poppins and Fenway Park by Steve Kluger

I love, Love, LOVE this book and decided that I couldn't beat the price and had to have a copy of my own.

My Life as an Experiment: One Man's Humble Quest to Improve Himself by Living As a Woman, Becoming George Washington, Telling No Lies, and Other Radical Tests by A.J. Jacobs

I listened to the audio of this book and it was so much fun--the things people will do for the sake of journalism. It's nice that you can read a chapter at a time for separate experiments he does.

Reading the OED: One Man, One Year, 21,730 Pages by Ammon Shea

Something, Maybe by Elizabeth Scott

The Princess and the Bear (Princess #2) by Mette Ivey Harrison

Beginner's Greek by James Collins

Generation Dead (Generation Dead #1) by Daniel Waters

Secretariat by William Nack

Cracked Up To Be by Courtney Summers

If I Stay (If I Stay #1) by Gayle Forman

I am a Genius of Unspeakable Evil and I Want to be Your Class President by Josh Lieb

The audio version of this book had me desiring to stay in my car to finish it and if you knew how much I hate commuting then you would know how much I enjoyed listening to this story.

Why We Make Mistakes: How We Look Without Seeing, Forget Things in Seconds and Are All Pretty Sure We Are Way Above Average by Joseph T. Hallinan

I have way more than I know what to do with but, still, I want to know--what's in your mailbox?
