In My Mailbox (17)

"In My Mailbox" is a weekly meme hosted by Kristi @ The Story Siren to share books we got in the mail or the library or the bookstore, etc. that week!

This mailbox consists of two weeks worth of books, so it's a little bit bigger than usual.

BORROWED FROM WORK:
Yes, one of them is Insurgent. I thought about not putting it up here because I know how many people want it and I don't want it to seem like I'm bragging. But, the point of IMM is to show readers what we got and I will be reviewing it (haven't read it yet), so it wouldn't be much of a secret anyway.

P.S. I took it from work before anyone else saw it...

Insurgent (Divergent #2) by Veronica Roth (this did not come in one of those fancy boxes...boo)
Slide by Jill Hathaway

FROM PENGUIN:
My store will be hosting Penguin's YA or Bust tour and since I'm planning it, they kindly sent the authors' newest books! SO EXCITED for this event!! If you're in the Los Angeles area stop by Children's Book World April 23rd at 6:30pm! The moderator of the panel will be Marie Lu! So lucky I got her!! Thank you, Penguin publicist. /shameless promotion
The Disenchantments by Nina LaCour
Lola and the Boy Next Door by Stephanie Perkins
Where She Went (If I Stay #2) by Gayle Forman


FROM AMERICAN BOOKSELLERS ASSOCIATION (ABA):
They sent us a box with the Kid's Indie Next List and SURPRISE there were books! We already had a galley of the The Peculiars so I took it for mine and...there was a copy of The Immortal Rules!! I'm the only one in the store who would have any interest in reading it, so I stoled it. It is mine. 
The Peculiars by Maureen Doyle McQuerry
The Immortal Rules by Julie Kagawa


FROM MACMILLAN:
I want to thank the Macmillan store rep for putting up with all of my book requests and getting them out to me quicker than I expect them.
This is Not a Test by Courtney Summers (e-book) (I've already read this and loved it)
Auracle by Gina Rosati (e-book)
Torn by Amanda Hocking (e-book)
My Life Undecided by Jessica Brody (e-book)

What did you get this week?

  6. Great IMM! I love the sound of The Disenchantments, hoping to read it soon :)
    And of course Insurgent! I don't think it's bragging by putting it in your IMM. I'm super excited to see what happens next and by seeing the arcs going out I know I won't have to wait too long and I can't wait to see what other people think about it :)

  8. Oh my gosh! They're all so amazing! Are you giving away any? Like Insurgent or The Immortal Rules?

  9. You don't seem like you're bragging. At all.

    I agree with Books Worth Remembering -- when someone gets a book I'm drying for and it's six months before the release date I might feel a tiny twinge of jealousy. Insurgent is out in only a few weeks. I'll live :)

    Enjoy them!

Thank-you for commenting! I always appreciate and read each one! I also try to reply to each one, but I'm really bad at this, so I apologize in advance for one (or any) I may miss. Please note, I love all of my commenters. In fact, it may be more like "in love." Comment at your own risk.
