My Saturday In My Mailbox #15: The New Bookshelf Edition

"In My Mailbox" is a weekly meme created by 

The Story Siren 

The idea is to post whatever 'books' you may have received from the week (before), whether you purchased them, gifted to you, borrowed, traded, etc.

First, I must show off the new bookcase that my sweet hubs got for me this week! Isn't it pretty :)

Here's what I treated myself to this week... 

I couldn't take my eyes off of Entwined by Heather Dixon - gorgeous cover for a beautiful story, can't wait to read it!  

Clockwork Angel (The Infernal Devices #1) by Cassandra Clare - Yay! I now have book 1 to read before reading book 2, lol!

Fire (The Seven Kingdoms #2) by Kristin Cashore - I really needed to get a finished copy of this before Bitterblue is released!

Dreamland (A Riley Bloom Book #3) by Alyson Noel - I have turned into a huge Alyson Noel fan! I've been trying to catch up on both the Immortals and Riley series before the new series, The Soul Seekers, is released!

And lastly, Portrait of a Starter: An Unhidden Story by Lissa Price - I just finished reading Starters, this was an awesome prequel to it, best $1.99 I've ever spent :)

For review: 

A finished/signed copy of The One That I Want by Jennifer Echols!

Frost (eBook) by Kate Avery Ellison 

I won some books recently :)
From Magan of Rather Be Reading...
The Storyteller (arc) by Antonia Michaelis

Thank you so much, Magan :)

And I also won, That Boy (eBook) by Jillian Dodd via Twitter :)

Thank you, Jillian!!!

In My Mailbox #12

"In My Mailbox" is a weekly meme created by 

The Story Siren 

The idea is to post whatever 'books' you may have received from the week (before), whether you purchased them, gifted to you, borrowed, traded, etc.

Well, remember for the last few weeks I've been saying that I don't want to buy any more books because I have so many already! and I really want to read most of them before I get any more... sigh... but my shelves look so bare, and there were some super cheap prices at Best Bargain Books, and our tax refund came in, and... well, you know... !!! So it ended up being a pretty awesome week :)

Here's what I got:

 Shiver and Linger by Maggie Stiefvater 

 Ghostgirl by Tonya Hurley (paperback)

I am head-over-heels for this book! The girly pink/black theme, the shape of the book - it's rectangular!!! the illustrations and style - the whole story just captured my heart right on the spot! I cannot wait to finish this and try to track down the rest of the series! If you see them anywhere at a really good price, please let me know!  

City of Glass (The Mortal Instruments Series #3 - paperback) 

by Cassandra Clare

Clockwork Prince (The Infernal Devices #2 - hardcover) 

also by Cassandra Clare

Funny story about this one - I meant to buy the first book and accidently bought the 2nd book, oops! So much for trying to start the series soon, lol! At least I'm prepared to continue with the series, right?! and should probably continue with The Mortal Instruments first... 

AND, lastly, the first book that I ever bought through The Book Depository came in this week :)  

Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins (hardcover)

*Books I received for Review: 

Pretty Amy by Lisa Burstein (ebook) and 

Kevin's Point of View by Del Shannon (Middle-grade/paperback)  

And, lastly, but certainly not least - what my boys got this week :)
For my 5yo, the new Splat the Cat book, Secret Agent Splat by Rob Scotton.

And for my 8yo, Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kinney - which he finished in 3 days!!! 

They love hardcover books just as much, if not more, than I do, lol! 

Thanks for stopping by this week!!!

What did you get in your mailbox this week??? 

Don't forget to leave a link ;)

5yo bought UP, but then realized that it was a chapter book and it is a bit too long for him to sit through, lol! 8yo is in the process of collecting all of the Magic Treehouse Books! I loooove that he looooves to read too!!!
We are going to try to refrain from buying books for a while now! We have more than enough to keep us busy for a few weeks! and I vow to spend more time reading rather than looking for freebies too, lol!
