In My Mailbox (35)

In My Mailbox is a weekly meme run by Kristi at The Story Siren which explores the books that have been delivered to our mailbox or doorstep or directly into our hot little hands.



Purchased:
Then Things We Did (and probably shouldn't have) by Sarah Mlynowski (signed)
Beauty Queens by Libba Bray
Crush: 26 Real-life Tales of First Love ed.by Andrea Richesin (signed)
The Summer Before Boys by Nora Raleigh Baskin (signed)
Dead End by Jason Myers
Stupid Fast by Geoff Herbach

This was another awesome week in books for me. I was in New York last weekend and went to the Ten Things We Did book launch at Books of Wonder. I will have a separate post about that coming up where I will shamelessly do some major name dropping. It was really exciting and I can't wait to tell everybody about it! 

Some books I got this week have been featured on previous Waiting for Wednesdays - Stupid Fast and Dead End. I also bought myself a copy of The Summer Before Boys. I've already read the e-galley of this (review coming soon) and wanted to own a copy. I found out that Nora was doing a book signing the week of BEA at The Voracious Reader (recently featured on my Love My Indie), so I purchased a copy from them. The shipping was a bit more than I expected, but I wanted to put my money where my blog is and give them some of my business.

Oh and if you haven't added this to your wish list, put Crush at the very top. The introduction alone is enough to take you back to your first love, your first crush and make you want to live it all over again. I can already tell this is going to be one of my favorite books of the year!

I can't wait to see what you got in your mailbox this week. Happy Reading!

    Oh, I absolutely loved Crush! One of my favorites for the year. I chatted a bit with the author, Nikki Richesin, via Goodreads, and she was super cool. You should definitely message her when you finish and tell her your thoughts.
