Ok, here we go.

From my mailbox:

Violet Midnight by Allie Burke - a paranormal romance. Yesss!!

Silent Love by Susan Shuler DeLong - a deaf teenager tries to fit into a hearing high school. I teach my son Sign, so this is intriguing to me.

Vaclav & Lena by Haley Tanner - I won this on Goodreads, but I think it'll be great.

All About Daisy by O'Dell Hutchinson - an awkward teen who's bullied at school. Quite possibly the story of my life. Then again, maybe not. I'll let you know.

America Pacifica by Anna North - I don't know what it is about dystopian books that are just hook, line and sinker for me.

I'm seriously so excited about every single one of these books that I've started reading most of them. I don't know how I'm going to buckle down and focus on one book at a time. It will be hard, but I know I can do it.







From my email:



Across Eternity by Aris Whittier. The reviews look great. I always love a good romance. *Sigh.*











From the local library:

Fallen by Lauren Kate. I figured it was time I jumped on the bandwagon.

Pegasus by Robin McKinley. I've been on the waiting list forever for this one.







From NetGalley:

Ultraviolet (Carolrhoda Ya) This one is about a girl who wakes up in a mental institution after having confessed to murdering her classmate...if you count watching her disintegrate a murder. Oooh, intrigued? I am.



Thank You, God, for Daddy by Amy Parker. I think I'm gonna need some tissues...













Thank you, God, for Mommy by Amy Parker. Ditto on the tissues.













In Front of God and Everybody by KD McCrite. Who doesn't love teenagers who are funny and easily embarrassed?!













Tender Loving Care by Jennifer Greene. Romance - check. Adoption - check. Gotta love it.











I haven't counted, but I don't think it's as many as last week. Good thing, too. I'm WAY behind! I'll be going on vacation soon. Does that mean I'll have more or less time to read? I don't know, but I guess we'll find out.


So, your turn. What are YOU reading this week? Pin It

From my mailbox:

The Keys of Fate by Tina M. Randolf
How I Planned Your Wedding by Susan Wiggs
Probability Angels by Joseph Devon
Beautiful Artifacts, Heartbreaking Relics, by Joshua Boeringa
Dread of Night, by Joshua Boeringa


From the local library:

Firelight by Sophie Jordan
13 Little Blue Envelopes by Maureen Johnson

From NetGalley



Two Moon Princess by Carmen Ferreiro-Esteban


Medieval princess wants to be a knight and accidentally ends up in modern-day California. What's not to like?











Cinderella: Ninja Warrior by Maureen McGowan

I love fairytale retellings, so I'm really excited about this one!













Ashfall by Mike Mullin

This one looks interesting since I live close to Yellowstone National Park.












The Lipstick Laws by Amy Holder

At first glance, this does not look like my kind of book. But it's about fighting back against the mean girls, so it caught my fancy. :)












The Trickser's Girl by Hilari Bell

Two words: dystopia and magic. Ok, technically that was 3 words, but I'm not counting "and".

Never Eighteen by Megan Bostic

I'm predicting a tear-jerker.












Wherever You Go by Heather Davis

A love triangle involving a ghost - sounds intriguing. What is it with me and death? I swear I'm not obsessed. Scout's honor.









So, that's what I'm reading. Thanks so much to the authors for sending me their books. Thanks so much to publishers via NetGalley.

This week I have a LOT in my mailbox!! So, without further ado, here we go.





Bumped, by Megan Mccafferty.

You may or may not know this, but my son is adopted. Still, I was morbidly curious about this book. I am looking forward to reading it.













Starcrossed, by Josephine Angelini.

Myths, legends, dreams, demigods, fate...what's not to like?! Can't wait.













Hereafter, by Tara Hudson.

Amelia is dead...already I like it. Not because I have a strange fascination with death, but because Pyper died once. Besides, it's paranormal romance. That's always interesting.











Die for Me, by Amy Plum.

Another book about death...oy. Maybe I do have a problem? I can't help it. The book sounds interesting!












The Last Little Blue Envelope, by Maureen Johnson.

Following a treasure hunt of mysterious letters. Sounds fun and exciting. (See, no death.) This is a sequel, and I have yet to read the first in the series. But I will!













A Tale of Two Castles, by Gail Carson Levine.

I've read a few of Gail Carson Levine's books, and I am really excited to read this one as well. I know nothing about it, but I'm excited. :)













Angel Burn, by L. A. Weatherly.

More paranormal with deams and gifts. I guess it's my lot in life to love these kinds of books. Sigh. Oh well.













Don't Breathe a Word, by Jennifer Mcmahon.

Look! Fairies. Not death. Awesome.

Read more about the Queens of All the Earth here on Goodreads. I've actually just started this one and so far so good.














Meant to Be by Tiffany King.

Social outcast, special powers, handsome dream boy...all the necessary elements of a good book.











Phew. You still with me?

So, what do you think? I think I'd better stop blogging and start reading!

I wanted to kind of sweep my negative review under the rug (I hate doing that to an author!). So I decided to participate in a weekly meme by The Story Siren called In My Mailbox.

The idea of IMM is to post any books you've bought, received as a gift, checked out from the library, or received in the mail to review. However you get them, post them.

In my case, it's almost always the library. Up this week?

Dark Divine by Bree Despain:


I'm really excited about this one. I'm already on the waiting list for #2.











Song of the Sparrow by Lisa Ann Sandell:



I read this a few years ago and just loved it to pieces. This is a re-read, but it will be so enjoyable. Besides, last time I didn't post a review.











The Thief by Megan Whalen Turner:



This is a recommendation from a good friend. I'm really looking forward to it though, as I've heard good things about the whole series.










And that's what's in my mailbox...or rather, in my library bag on the table.
