In My Mailbox #2

After watching videos by some fellow bloggers, I decided to film my second “In my Mailbox” video. The results are pretty embarrassing. Watch me say how “excited” I am about 45 times in a row! Next time, I’m definitely going to do a test run. But I got some amazing books over the last month and a half, and I really am genuinely “excited” to read them. On the list: some of my most anticipated books of 2011, sequels I’ve been dying for, and some insane early releases I purchased at Strand:

In My Mailbox #1

Since I’m a bit new to book blogging, this is my first weekly post of what’s “In My Mailbox” ! Excited to be joining in this meme, hosted by Kristi at The Story Siren.

I hadn’t bought any books in quite a while, so I went a little nuts with my Amazon giftcard, and some money I got for Christmas.

PURCHASED:


Into the Wild Nerd Yonder by Julie Halpern. I’ve heard so many good things about this book. And a TV show based on the book is in the works.

Jane Eyre. I’m FINALLY going to read this this year!

This Year You Write Your Novel by Walter Mosley.

I already own an e-galley of Unearthly, but the hardback book is just too pretty to resist! I needed a physical copy to read.

I read The Sky is Everywhere on New Year’s day and bawled my eyes out. I loved it so much, I needed a physical copy of this too. I love the story, and the gorgeous colors of the cover!

Bloody Valentine by Melissa de la Cruz. Getting this book was a fiasco. One blizzard, two pre-orders, and two weeks of delays later, I finally got this book. I’m reading it now and loving every second of it.

I also picked up a few items from my wish list at Strand:

A handful of books I discovered via their glowing reviews on Goodreads and various book blogs.

WON:

An ARC of Across the Universe by Beth Revis. From A Casual Reader.
FOR REVIEW:

The Lipstick Laws by Amy Holder

The Cellar by A. J. Whitten

The Diviner’s Tale by Bradford Morrow

(All 3 Via NetGalley)

My TBR pile is already out of control. But I’m pretty excited to read everything I got this week. A few of these will totally be moving to the front of my pile.
