In My Mailbox (11)

In My Mailbox is a weekly event hosted by Kristi at The Story Siren.

I hadn't planned on doing an IMM this week, but that was before I found out that Joseph-Beth was having a blow-out sale. I need more books like I need a hole in the head, but I'm glad I went!


I pre-ordered Paranormalcy by Kiersten White, but everything else I got at the sale. I've heard good things about A Certain Slant of Light by Laura Whitcomb. She also co-wrote Your First Novel: An Author Agent Team Share the Keys to Achieving Your Dream, which is a really good resource for writers.

Everything else: The Earth, My Butt, and Other Big Round Things by Carolyn Mackler, This Lullaby by Sarah Dessen, Tantalize by Cynthia Leitich Smith, and Dairy Queen by Catherine Murdock.

I had a good week! What's in your mailbox?

  2. Nice books! Tantalize looks great, and I've heard so many wonderful things about CSoL. And of course, Sarah Dessen's books rock.

    Hope you enjoy them! :)

  6. OH MY GOD! I LOVE A Certain Slant of Light and everything Laura Whitcomb has done. I own both "Your First Novel" and a book L.W. wrote independently called "Novel Shortcuts". I can't wait for the sequel to "A Certain Slant of Light". :)

    This Lullaby is one of my favorite Sarah Dessen novels.

    You got AWESOME books this week!! :) Happy reading, chica!

    (PS - I really want to go to Joseph Beth but it's on the other side of the city; a good thirty minute drive. But my dad's promised to take me there sometime. :D)

  7. The Earth, My Butt, and Other Big Round Things is a funny title. Seems like you're in for a humorous read.

  8. Yay, I'm glad some of you have read the books I bought and have good things to say about them!

    @ Amelia: Joseph-Beth is worth the trip! Ours is kind of small compared to the others in the chain, but I still really love it. The staff is really passionate!
