Welcome to In My Mailbox, the weekly meme hosted by the delightful Kristi at The Story Siren. It’s a weekly look at what I got in books this week.

For review:

The Miracle Stealer by Neil Connelly (Scholastic, October release)
Monster High by Lisi Harrison (Little Brown, available now): I am utterly curious about the book spawning a huge merchandise push.

From the library:

The Guardians of Ga’hoole by Katheryn Lasky: The movie comes out next week and I had a super successful program for 2nd through 5th graders this week.

A Storm in the Barn by Matt Phalen: A graphic novel about the dust bowl. As much as people will think this is gross or weird, the dust bowl and great depression are among my favorite (as in most interesting) time periods of American history.

Nice & Mean by Jessica Leader: A debut novel in a new line of books aimed at middle grade girls. I’m curious who it will most appeal to.

Bought:

Crobots by Nelly Pailloux: Alea has really inspired me to get back into crafting (as is the fall weather!) and since I’ve always wanted to improve my crocheting ability, I wanted to get something different. This will be perfect for the challenge — and if you know anything about me, you know I LOVE robots.
