In My Mailbox

This week was full of great surprises and some of which I'm looking forward to sharing with you. At the end of the post I've included some information about some upcoming author interviews & giveaways we'll posting on our blog this week.

In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by The Story Siren where we share what books we've received through out the week either for review, that we purchased, borrowed or were gifted. This week I've combined our MG and YA books.


For Review:

* Divergent by Veronica Roth, published by Harper Collins, to be released on May 3rd, 2011.
* The Secret Life of Ms Finkleman by Ben H. Winters, published by Harper Collins Children's Books, released on September 21st, 2010 (MG)

* Summer (Beautiful Dead #3) by Eden Maguire, published by Source Books, to be released on March 2011

I normally don't take a picture of the package the books arrive in, but I really loved the marketing behind Catherine Fisher's upcoming release, and I wanted to share with you what the box looks like. I love the added feature of the map inside the box.




Gifted/Won:

* The Chronicles of Narnia (the one w/ PC on the front)- Thank you Sophie!
* Dash & Lily's Books of Dares by Rachel Cohn & David Levithan- won from Random House
* 13 To Life by Shannon Delany- from Shannon Delany
(Don't miss our blog stop and LIVE author chat with Shannon this month! We will be giving away some signed goodies)

Bought:

I'm still waiting for my books I bought two weeks ago, so of course I couldn't resist and I bought more this last week too. I'm hoping they all arrive this coming week. Here's a few I do have in my hands that I picked up this week-
* The Mermaid's Mirror by L.K. Madigan
* The Giver (SIGNED) by Lois Lowry- thank you Jen Bigheart for picking this up for me!! I'm not one for crying, but I almost cried over having a signed book by an author I've grown up admiring.
* I Am Apache by Tanya Landman
* Stormbreaker (Alex Rider series, UK edition) by Anthony Horowitz (I bought this as a gift for someone, whom shall remain nameless LOL).


A huge thank you to Harper Teen, Harper Collins, Penguin/Dial books, Square Fish/MacMillian, Marshall Cavendish Children's Books, Source Books, Random House, Shannon Delany, and Sophie for this week's awesome reads.

Don't miss out on some of our upcoming interviews & giveaways this next week-

Interviews- We will be posting some great The Dark Days of Supernatural Tour author interviews through out the month. Last week we shared our interviews with Cynthia Hand & Kimberly Derting. This coming week we'll be posting our interviews for Ellen Schreiber & Courtney Allison Moulton.

Upcoming Giveaways- this month we'll be giving away a copy of Unearthly and an ARC of Angelfire as part of our 2nd Birthday Bash. We'll also be giving away a SIGNED ARC of Angelfire next month, as Angelfire is our Debut Book Of The Month.
