In My Mailbox (11)


"In My Mailbox" is a meme, created by Kristi at The Story Siren, that features books I've 
received/ purchased/ borrowed during the current week. 

How's it going this week? I just got back from the Santa Claus parade which was great and my son loved it - it was his first time seeing it. We had wonderful weather for it too. What else is new!? I went to see Breaking Dawn! I found a few parts very cheesy but all in all I really enjoyed it. I think my favorite is still Eclipse though (which is funny because it was my least favorite of the books).

 I hope you guys are all happy with your haul this week. I didn't buy any books since we're saving up for the holidays, but I'll be all set with the awesome review copies that I got.

 Here's what I got for review (click on cover for Goodreads):


I want to thank Marie Landry, my Goodreads friend Tina, Simon & Schuster, Lerner Publishing Group, KC Neal, Harlequin and Random House for the review copies.

Make sure to stop by for the upcoming Blue Sky Days and Airel blog tours!
Dates can be found in my sidebar.

  1. I really haven't heard too much about any of these so I'm curious to hear your thoughts! Good for you for not buying anything this week! I was less successful on that front...

  2. I have heard good things about Unraveling Isobel. I hope you love everything you've gotten this week! They look really good :D

  3. I thought Breaking Dawn had a LOT of cheesy parts which is why I was the only one giggling in the theatre lol. Glad I'm not the only one that thought so.

    BTW was the Santa Clause parade fun???

    Couldn't stop myself and went to Chapters today and picked up a couple of books. You can check out that post here: http://booknerd.ca/2011/11/in-my-mailbox-4

  4. You're lucky that your theatre had a sense of humour. I was the one laughing at every cheesy part and guffawing at the werewolves talking to each other scene while girls would give me dirty looks! hah

  24. I haven't seen Breaking Dawn because I'm kind of (just kind of...) lost interest, but who knows, maybe I will change my mind someday. I've seen Eclipse like five times. Hehe. Isn't it nice? Anyway, Airel sounds very interesting. I like the cover! It's pretty! Unraveling Isobel sounds good!! I like the cover too!! Belles sounds very interesting. The cover is beautiful! I have to check these books out sometime. Great mailbox. Thank you for sharing!!
