In My Mailbox (24)

Posted by Giselle • 85 Comments

“In My Mailbox” is a meme, created by Kristi at The Story Siren, that features books I have

received/ purchased/ borrowed during the week.

I hope everyone had a fabulous week because this week was my BIRTHDAY! Yay! We went out today to celebrate with steak an lobster. It was delicious! I didn’t actually buy any books this week but I did receive a few review copies that can count for birthday gifts, right!? I also got a cake, I left it on the coffee table and my toddler found it this morning. He was quiet for a few minutes, so I came to see what he was up to and he was stuffed full of chocolate. Then I sent him off to his grandparent’s. Teehee.

This week at Xpresso Reads was zombilicious. Make sure you haven’t missed any zombie fun by clicking here. I also posted a massive cover reveal –here– with some lovely new pretties. And I scheduled a new tour for Someone Else’s Life. I already had a copy for review so I was happy to be asked to take part of the tour as well. Oh, and I’ve still got 5 open giveaways, don’t forget to enter (found on sidebar), as a couple of them are ending soon!

Let’s see what I got for review this week:

–Dark Eyes by William Richter

–Struck by Jennifer Bosworth

–Before You Go by James Preller

A huge thank you to Thomas Nelson, Tabitha Vale, J. Meyers, Macmillan Publishers, Nikki Jefford, JL Bryan and Penguin Canada for the review copies.

What’s in your mailbox this week?

I hope everyone had a good week. Mine was pretty dull. The weather is all out of whack here. One day it’ll be +10C and the next will be a snow storm, so we’re left with a wet slushy mess. Ick! I did get a few exciting bloggy emails though. If you check my sidebar I’ve scheduled in a few new tours that I’m really excited for! It’s going to be a fun spring season! Now, on to what pretties I got this week! =)

I thought the mailman had forgotten where I live. But then it’s nice to get a breather to catch up. I started giving a few books away to make more room on my bookcase. *hangs head in shame*. I still got a few awesome reads though, have a look.
