Welcome to another edition of In My Mailbox, hosted by Kristi at The Story Siren. It’s a showcase of books received for review, at the library, or purchased in the last week.
Another quiet week! I’m actually kind of glad because I have been in a wicked reading slump lately. Fortunately, I am reading one now that’s really working for me.
For review:
Dark Mirror by MJ Putney (March 1, St. Martin’s Griffin): This looks radically different from most stuff I read and that’s why it excites me. It looks like it’s part regency romance, part fantasy.
Paradise by Jill Alexander (July, Feiwel & Friends/Macmillin): A romance set in Texas that has to do with music. It sounds a little bit like Lovestruck Summer meets Somebody Everybody Listens To.
Don’t Stop Now by Julie Halpern (June, Feiwel & Friends/Macmillin): A road trip born of a fake kidnapping. Julie wrote Into the Wild Nerd Yonder which I really enjoyed, and not only that, but she works as librarian not too far from where I live.
From the library:
Dani Noir by Nova Ren Suma: I finished Imaginary Girls a couple weeks ago (and you’ll get that review closer to release date) and quite liked it. I’m eager to see what her first release, a middle grade mystery, holds. I think it’s one I will be book talking to the 7th grade in a few weeks.
I've been a reading slump lately too, but it's good that your starting to come out of yours. I'm hoping the same will happen to me soon enough as well. Anyhow, great books this week! Paradise looks the most fun out of them all, so I'll be looking forward to seeing your review for it. Happy reading! 🙂
Dani Noir!!!!! Love that book. 🙂 And I have been in a reading slump too but o started Leverage today and I'm really digging it! No books in my mailbox this week!
Great selection of books this week. Happy reading 😀
Great books! I also got Dark Mirror and am excited to start that one. I hope you enjoy all your books!
Great reads. Dark Mirror and Don't Stop Now look especially good.

Ohhh, Paradise! I really liked Jill's previous book, The Sweetheart of Prosper County, so I have that one on my radar as well. Thanks for showing a picture of what the cover looks like!
I love that cover of Paradise. I've never heard of it before but the picture makes me want to look it up!
Ohhhh, PARADISE sounds really good! Can't wait for your review on this one to decide if I should read it too.
I really enjoyed Dani Noir. I'm excited to read her YA book.

I've heard great things about Dani Noir. I didn't realize that it was written by the same author as Imaginary Girls (which I'm looking foward to). I even already have it on my shelf! I'll be interested to hear what you think of it.
