In My Mailbox (December 1st, 2013)

In My Mailbox is a weekly event hosted by the Story Siren! It's an opportunity to showcase what books you have purchased, borrowed from the library, etc throughout the week.

I admit that I didn't get any books for myself this week. I took advantage of Black Friday sales to get some books for my sister. And since she doesn't know the URL to this blog, I can show you the ones I got for her for Christmas! 

 

Adaptation is the only one out of these that I've read, and I loved it! Ash is by the same author, so hopefully it'll also be good. It seems pretty awesome by the synopsis. Oddly enough, I've read the other books in the Sisters Red (Fairytale Retellings) series, but not the first one. I'm really counting on the chance that my sister will let me read some of them after, haha. 

What did you get this week?

I have heard about the conflict that occured with Kiera Cass, her agent, and a reviewer. I'm putting that aside, and I just plan on reading the book and not to be biased.

Rapture, the last book in the Fallen series, what am I to do?

My mom runs an annual book sale that benefits our town library, so needless to say, I got a million books. I'm not going to share them though, because it's a lot. I'll be making a video soon though--which will be on my youtube channel.

Anyway, here is the one book I got from Amazon!

*****

Hours after her brother’s military funeral, Honor opens the last letter Finn ever sent. In her grief, she interprets his note as a final request and spontaneously decides to go to California to fulfill it.

Honor gets as far as the driveway before running into Rusty, Finn’s best friend since third grade and his polar opposite. She hasn’t seen Rusty in ages, but it’s obvious he is as arrogant and stubborn as ever—not to mention drop-dead gorgeous. Despite Honor’s better judgment, the two set off together on a voyage from Texas to California. Along the way, they find small and sometimes surprising ways to ease their shared loss and honor Finn’s memory—but when shocking truths are revealed at the end of the road, will either of them be able to cope with the consequences?

I've been waiting for this book forever! I'm reading it now, a review will be up soon. :)

I have a lot of books to show today. I've never gotten this many in one week, so this post is special! Let's just say I have a lot of reading to do!

When I was at the airport, I got these two books.

Cross My Heart and Hope to Spy by Ally Carter

The Fault in Our Stars by John Green

Then I ordered these back in March, but they didn't ship until the Thumped was released (which is pretty annoying, not preordering from B&N again.)

Spell Bound by Rachel Hawkins

Goddess Interrupted by Aimee Carter

Thumped by Megan McCafferty 

Getting these was actually the best part of my week! I went to a teen galley group at a local bookstore, and there was only me and one other girl. So I got to pick out as many ARCs as I wanted. Then I read them, review them and recommend them (or not) for the bookstore. Then I received Gilt in the mail from the publisher.

Gilt by Katherine Longshore

Velveteen by Daniel Marks

Ten by Gretchen McNeill

My Life Next Door by Huntley Fitzpatrick

Dead Time by Anne Cassidy

A Touch Morbid by Leah Clifford

A Thunderous Whisper by Christina Diaz Gonzalez
