In My Mailbox (20)

In My Mailbox was started by Kristi over at The Story Siren! In My Mailbox is a way to share the books you received each week.

This week I got:



Lovestruck Summer
Melissa Walker
Austin music fest

Yay, summer in Austin!

Good food, good times. Fun for everyone!

Okay, living with my sorority-brainwashed cousin, who willingly goes by "Party Penny," is not exactly what I had in mind.

All your favorite bands

But the cute musicians I've met totally make up for it . . . like Sebastian. Swoon.

All ages welcome

So why can't I stop thinking about Penny's friend All-American Russ and his Texas twang??

Saturday & Sunday, from noon to midnight

Don't wait up!
I got this from the ReaderGirlz blog and it's signed my Melissa!


Sea Change
Aimee Friedman
16-year-old Miranda Merchant is great at science...and not so great with boys. After major drama with her boyfriend and (now ex) best friend, she's happy to spend the summer on small, mysterious Selkie Island, helping her mother sort out her late grandmother's estate.

There, Miranda finds new friends and an island with a mysterious, mystical history, presenting her with facts her logical, scientific mind can't make sense of. She also meets Leo, who challenges everything she thought she knew about boys, friendship...and reality.

Is Leo hiding something? Or is he something that she never could have imagined?
I got this as a prize from the 24 Hour Read-a-thon! The cover is absolutely gorgeous!


I also from Random Buzzers won the ENTIRE set of the Inheritence Cycle SIGNED by Christopher Paolini. I absolutely love the series - so boy oh boy was I excited when I won the contest for them!

From Bookmooch I got:

Bad Apple
Laura Rudy
Junior Tola Riley doesn’t care what people say about her. She knows her ever-changing hair color and goth clothes make her an easy target. Whatever. But the latest rumor is different.... The entire school believes she had an affair with her art teacher. The rumors may be a lie, but the fallout is all too real. Will Tola finally stand up for the truth?

With a heroine you'll root for and a truly relevant story, Laura Ruby has once again brought the authentic teen experience to life for readers who relish dark humor and razor-sharp wit.

Sink or Swim
Kate Cann
Coll and Art have had a passionate relationship but Coll is starting to feel that it's no longer what she wants. It's hard to contemplate the end of things but if they stay together, she just might find herself sucked under completely...

What'd you guys get?

Sea Change is so good and the cover is just gorgeous. I still haven't read the Paolini books. I know, I know. I'll get to it someday.

Happy reading!
