In My Mailbox (7)


In My Mailbox is a weekly meme created and hosted by The Story Siren where bloggers share would books they have gathered over the week.

Gifted:

Anji surprised me with a stop at Barnes & Noble while on our way to the mall where she bought me a book for my birthday. I could choose any book I wanted, so of course I got Crossed!!! I am so excited to get started on this. Who has the best sister ever? I do! Thanks, Anji :)













Traded For:

















These came up as possible trades on my Swap.com "Get Now" list and looked pretty good so I snatched them up :)

Won:

This book looks awesome. Thanks to Dorine at The Write Path, I am the proud owner of an ARC! Thank you, Dorine!!!














Finally have a brand-spankin' new hardcover of this bundle of awesome thanks to Jodi at Words by Webb. She was extremely helpful and put in extra effort to get me another copy after the first never arrived. Make sure you check out her blog!












This arrived today from Random Buzzers! I was chosen as one of their "Ambuzzadors" for this book and I am so excited! I still need to read the first two in the series, and hopefully I can do that very, very soon. This also came with two cute pens and you can never have enough pens!













Huge thanks to Fire and Ice for a pretty new copy of The Magnolia League!















Extra big thanks to Rochelle from Books Like Stars. I have been trying extra hard to get my hands on this book, and I finally have it in my hands! Am I the last person to read this? Sure feels like it lol.














I won this from Avon Romance on Facebook. They were having a K.I.S.S. and Teal Promotion to benefit
breast cancer. They didn't say what the prize would be, so I entered once just on a whim. Even though people were entering daily, I was the lucky winner! I was so anxious to see what the prize was, and here it is! A $100 donation was made in my name to The Ovarian Cancer National Alliance (awesome!), and they sent me a mesh tote, with a yummy smelling candle (which sadly broke during shipping), some makeup and nail polish and a gel sleep mask which my daughter quickly claimed. I gave that tote to my mom because she loves to use totes for work.

The prize pack itself was everything you see here in this picture. I am in love with this canvas tote! I really needed one since I am always carrying around my keys, cell phone and a book by hand since I don't have a purse. It is very sturdy and I love the colors! Along with the tote came some coasters (bottom left), some nail polish and seven romance books! I don't read a lot of romance so I'm not sure what I'll be doing with the books yet. I think I am going to either trade them or give them to my aunt :)

Anyway, that's it for me. What came for you this week?

  7. I loved The Magnolia League. And I'm jealous that you got Anna Dressed in Blood--I've not yet been successful in getting a copy of it (long story), but I can't wait to read it. Happy reading!
