In My Musical Mailbox (27)

In My Mailbox was started by The Story Siren and inspired by Pop Culture Junkie.


For Review:
The Queen Bee of Bridgeton by Leslie DuBois
OyMG by Amy Fellner Dominy
Tempest Rising by Tracy Deebs --
Flawless by Lara Chapman -- I had to review this one because it's based off Cyrano De Bergerac. How cool is that?
Sleeping Beauty: Vampire Slayer & Cinderella: Ninja Warrior by Maureen McGowan -- I love fairy tales, and the titles are so unique. And they're the "pick your adventure" type of book. :)
Corsets and Clockwork edited by Trisha Telep -- So, so many awesome authors in this collection.

Thank you to Bloomsbury, Teen Book Scene/Leslie DuBois, Premier Virtual Author Book Tours/Baker & Taylor Publishing Group, and Running Book Press!

Won from Teenreads.com:
The Abused Werewolf Rescue Group by Catherine Jinks

• Two t-shirts that read "Abused Werewolf" and "Reformed Vampire" -- I'm wearing the vampire one right now (as my pajamas... my excuse is that it's Sunday), and I gave the werewolf one to my little sister. They're SO comfortable, thank you! :)

Webcam = poor quality, sorry. ):


Bought (from Strand):
The Gathering by Kelley Armstrong -- I posted the trailer to this in my latest midnight post along with how much I wanted to read it. Well, here it is. :)
The Iron Thorn by Caitlin Kittredge -- love the cover. And it's pretty thick, which I'm hoping means a longer, epic adventure.
Stay by Deb Caletti
Instructions for a Broken Heart (ARC) by Kim Culbertson
The Eternal Sea by Angie Frazier (Everlasting #2) (ARC) -- Angie dropped by and gave a list of reasons why every girl should love a sailor almost a year ago from today. Everlasting was one of the first books I bought and loved on my Kindle, so I was estatic when I found the sequel at Strand. ♥
• Unrelated goodies: adorable animal-shaped pencil sharpeners from Morning Glory and a blue-and-black striped sweater for $12 from The Vintage Twins (article on the shop) in Ann Arbor.

I won't actually be able to read and possibly review these bought books until late May, but I can't wait! Just need to resist, resist, resist the itching temptation...


To wrap it up, for today's music portion:

HAPPY EASTER!

Amazing blog and amazing books.

Aww, thank you. I think your layout is gorgeous as well. :3

This is actually one of my more simple layouts, haha. I snapped some pictures of my doll for the header, put a pattern into the background, and tweaked a bit of coding. If you have any questions, feel free to email me! :)
You are welcome.

Thanks; I really adore your layout.
Girl you have some fabulous books there. I love that T shirt, and your hair! You look adorable btw :)
Awww, that song is so cute~ Fantastic books and congrats on the t-shirt wins! The Catherine Jinks book sounds like a lot of fun.
Those are pencil sharpeners? THEY'RE SO RIDICULOUSLY CUTE!

Ooh, Corsets & Clockwork! I've been interested in that book for a while now and I haven't stumbled upon any reviews for it so I'll be looking forward to your review :) Everything else looks great! I'm still bummed that I didn't get to see you but I hope you had a fun time in the city--and hopefully I WILL get to see you in the next year or two. <3

Hi Jenn! I wanted to stop by and say thank you for commenting on my interview at The Book Rat! Also - your blog is beautiful!
Ooooo Corsets and Clockwork! Nice! I hope you had an awesome easter.
Omg you got really awesome books, Jenn!! I recently heard of Sleeping Beauty: Vampire Slayer & Cinderella: Ninja Warrior and they sound so interesting that I added both to my reading list. Can't wait to hear what you think of these. Also, I'm so excited that you got The Gathering. I loved Kelley's Darkest Powers series. I cannot wait to read this one. Happy reading, Jenn!
