In My Mailbox (23)

February 6, 2011 |

Written by: Kelly on February 6, 2011.

Welcome to another installment of In My Mailbox, hosted by Kristi at The Story Siren. It’s a weekly showcase of books received for review, purchased, or picked up at the library.

And thus, I share with you the sad news that my mailbox is completely destroyed. Gone. What started as a break from the mail man has turned into no mailbox at all. It got plowed in the blizzard. Alas, may it rest in peace.

For review:

Divergent by Veronica Roth (May, HarperCollins): A dystopian set in Chicago. I picked up a copy at ALA, this one one will be going to my teens this week.

Strings Attached by Judy Blundell (March, Scholastic): A historical fiction that I’ve read may be stronger than her NBA winning What I Saw and How I Lied.

This Dark Endeavor by Kenneth Oppel (August, Simon and Schuster): I read the news this week that this title got optioned for film, and I think I walked around all week wishing in my head I could read it. I mean, it’s a prequel to Frankenstein. And it was really played up as Oppel’s best writing to date. A really nice surprise to come!

Bitter End by Jennifer Brown (May, Little Brown): About an abusive relationship. Brown’s Hate List was good, and I’m eager to see her sophomore effort.

Bird in a Box by Andrea Davis Pinkney (April, Little Brown): A middle grade historical fiction that involves Joe Louis. Looks interesting!

I’ll Be There by Holly Goldberg Sloan (May, Little Brown): A debut novel about family and relationships. Sounds pretty powerful.

The Time-Traveling Fashionista by Bianca Turetsky (April, Poppy/Little Brown): Fashion and time travel. A fun, lighter hearted title.

Purchased:

One Lonely Degree by C. K. Kelly Martin: I may have read I Know It’s Over this week and cried more than I have ever cried while reading a book. The voice is so strong and compelling and the story killed me (in a good way). And immediately, I bought Martin’s second book. I’m so excited about this. You have no idea.

    I've heard such good things about DIVERGENT. Looking forward to your review. Um, and totally looking up I KNOW IT'S OVER. Sounds like it was pretty awesome.

    I'll definitely have to put Strings Attached on my TBR list. I really enjoyed reading What I Saw and How I lied.

    I've been wanting to get Divergent for ages now, I'm slightly jealous that you have it! Enjoy all of your wonderful books!

    Have a great week!

    I said it to @abbylibrarian this morning and I'll say it to you now, I'm totally super jealous of the Bitter End snag. Hate List is one of my favorite books out there so I'm eagerly anticipating this one.
