In My Mailbox #56

In My Mailbox was created by Kristi at The Story Siren, inspired by Alea at Pop Culture Junkie.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (Millennium, #1) by Stieg Larsson
The Girl Who Played with Fire (Millennium, #2) by Stieg Larsson
The Road by Cormac McCarthy
Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen
A Wrinkle in Time (Time Series, #1) by Madeleine L'Engle

For Review:

Library:
Wither (The Chemical Garden, #1) by Lauren DeStefano

Tour:
How to Save a Life ARC by Sara Zarr [Thanks to Crystal @ WinterHaven Books!]
Why We Broke Up ARC by Daniel Handler [Thanks again to Crystal!]

Won:
Amplified by Tara Kelly [Thanks to Joy @ Joyous Reads!]
Half-Blood (Covenant, #1) by Jennifer L. Armentrout [Thanks again to Joy!]
Shatter Me ARC by Tahereh Mafi [Thanks to HarperCollins!]

I've already read and loved both Amplified and Obsidian! My review for Obsidian will be up soon, and I'm still working on my Amplified review. I read and reviewed Half-Blood months ago; so glad to have won a copy because I loved it! I'm not sure when I'll get to Shatter Me, but I'm happy to have an ARC and love how shiny it is. Not sure what to expect from How to Save a Life and Why We Broke Up, but look forward to reading them.

Checked out Wither because I need to get to it before I start the ARC of Fever. Hoping I like it! And finally, the books I bought came from a garage sale at my church. I only saw like two YA books, but they weren't books I was interested in, so I just got adult books and classics I've been curious about. I'm glad they were all in good condition.

That's it for this week's IMM. What did you get? :)

  8. I kind of want to read Water For Elephants - not my usual type of thing, but it might be interesting.
    I quite like the cover for Amplified, it looks fun.
    Enjoy all your books!

  9. Hi! I know this is from a long time ago, and you might not see this comment, but is there any possibility that you would be willing to trade this ARC of Shatter Me? I’m in love with Tahereh Mafi and her books, and I would be so thrilled if this would be possible; I would be more than happy to trade you anything! Thank you so much! If this is possible, please let me know, through email (arcticbookss (at)gmail.com) or Twitter @arcticbookss!
