In My Mailbox (04.5-11.09)

After a drought last week, I had a great week (for me)! Five books! Like I said, it was a great week for me :-) I haven't been winning much lately, nor have I wanted to spend a fortune on books, so I don't have the hauls that many of you do. :-D Here's what I got:

Stack of books I got

The three on top are from BN.com:

(1) Wicked Lovely by Melissa Marr (Melissa Marr is doing a book signing in Alpharetta at the end of the month and I wanted to give her books a try, as I've read many good reviews out there!)

(2) Willow by Jula Hoban (Enough said, right? I've heard incredible things about this book!)

(3) Need by Carrie Jones (This one's been on my wish list for quite awhile, I finally decided to buy it.)

The next one in the pile is from the kind folks at Hatchette Books--my first time working with them!

(4) The Crimes of Paris: A True Story of Murder, Theft, and Detection by Dorothy Hoobler and Thomas Hoobler

(5) And lastly, Brian Rathbone was kind enough to send me a signed copy of his book, The Dawning of Power, which I had recently added to my wish list.

I've got lots of great reading here, now if I only I had more time to devote to it!! :-/ This is another reason why I really should have many books In My Mailbox, because I, like so many of you, have quite a stack of "unreads."

What was in your mailbox this week?

    That's my plan, Reverie. I know Shalonda said she wouldn't be able to make it. Will anyone else be going?

    What a great week! Wicked Lovely is amazing, and Willow sounds brilliant (I got that one, too). I look forward to your reviews!

    Yay! You'll have to tell me how you like Wicked Lovely. I've not read any of Marr's books.

    And I got Willow too! Super excited to read it!

    Happy reading!

    Adding my voice to the chorus of how awesome Wicked Lovely is, and expressing my jealousy of all those who get to go to a Marr signing.

    I have no idea what The Dawning of Power is about (will look it up) but boy do I love the cover!

    Seems I'm the only one around here who doesn't have Willow. Ha!

    I've heard a lot of good things about Melissa Marr. I'm going to have to pick up one of her novels one of these days. You got a lot of good reads here Melissa.
