In My Mailbox (79) or I Found One of My Favorite Books!!! + News
In My Mailbox was started by Kristi of The Story Siren and inspired by Alea of Pop Culture Junkie. Sadly the only books I order are those that are hard to find. The following books are from the library and bookstores.
Won:
A huge thanks goes out to Midnyte Reader.
Thanks to Babs of PR by the Book.
Bought:
Trials of Death (Cirque du Freak, 5) by Darren Shan, 2001.
I am very slowly working my way to getting all the Cirque du Freak books (very slowly). I love the first three and have book four waiting on my TBR so I couldn't pass up the opportunity to add Trials of death to my TBR.
So, I'd like to give one last thanks to all the bloggers (who I won books from), Jennifer Laurens (whose a totally nice author), and to Babs (for the review copies). Y'all all rock!
Hope y'all have had a great book week too.

Make sure you drop by on the 15th.*coughCONTESTcough* ^_^
If you follow me on twitter you may remember that I had been working on a new feature for my blog. Well I finally just did it (you can see what its all about by visiting thePAGE I made for it). I'm hoping to have time to finish my first actual post for it (so I hope you'll stop by and see which old YA title will be getting some love later this week). I was going to make a picture for it, but couldn't find one that I liked.
Last thing I promise: Don't forget to check out my latest reviews for The Pace by Shelena Shorts and The Deviant by Orren Merton.
Won:
The Lost Saint (The Dark Divine, 2) by Bree Despain, 2010.
I will be checking out The Dark Divine from the library as soon as I can, just so I can read The Lost Saint (love the blue used in the cover).

Across the Universe (Across the Universe, 1) *signed* Beth Revis, 2011.
I really want to read Across the Universe, but after reading about the content on Parental Book Reviews I'm not sure if I can in good conscience (the jury is still out on the verdict).

Bought:
The Hero and the Crown (Damar, 2) by Robin McKinley, 1985.
This is completely a "squee" moment. The Hero and the Crown is one of my absolute favorite book by Robin McKinley and I now own a copy (so happy). See my review of it HERE (it doesn't do this amazing book justice, but I couldn't resist trying to convay how much I love this book).

Fang (Maximum Ride, 6) by James Patterson, 2010.
I've been meaning to get Fang since I read it (it's almost as good as the first three Maximum Ride books). Plus I have every other book in the series... except for Angel that is.
