In My Mailbox

One of the great traditions in book blogging is the weekly “In My Mailbox” post. I learned about this first from the prolific “Story Siren,” who was inspired by “Pop Culture Junkie.” While my “IMM” post will pale in comparison I’ll participate nevertheless!

Here are the books that arrived in my mailbox this week:

“The Cinderella Society” by Kay Cassidy: The book releases next spring and I’m pleased to report the lovely Kay signed my copy and I’ll be hosting a giveaway contest to readers once I read it! So stay tuned because this book is generating some serious girl power buzz.


Either You’re in or You’re in the Way” by Luke and Noah Miller: This book was sent to me by a Twitter friend and it’s about a pair of brothers and the promise they made to their father to have a movie made and get Ed Harris to star in it. It’s not my usual cup of tea, but I’m eager to check it out since the brothers are local.

Shark Girl” by Kelly Bingham: My husband picked this up for me at the library and I’m intrigued. It’s very Bethany Hamilton because it’s the story of a teen girl who loses her arm in a shark attack. I skimmed the first page and the writing popped.

“Her Fearful Symmetry” by Audrey Niffenegger: I pre-ordered this on my Kindle and it magically appeared on Tuesday morning. The first few chapters are strange, but I’m really enjoying it now…

The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks” by E. Lockhart: The book has been on my mind for a few weeks as something I absolutely had to read. I’d seen it in bookstores, visit it on Amazon, look it up online. Finally, I said “Screw the book-buying diet” (because my TBR pile is HUGE!) and I bought it last night. I read the sample on my Kindle and it’s amazing so far. I’m going to read it after I finish “Her Fearful Symmetry.”

So that’s my mailbox. What was in yours? What are you reading?
