In My Mailbox 10/16

Sunday, October 17, 2010

In My Mailbox is an amazing weekly meme hosted by Kristi from The Story Siren that features the books we have received during the week. It's so much fun because we get to see what our fellow bloggers stumbled upon this week and add even more to our piles of books! Without further ado, this week I received the following books:


The Victor - (Won from I'd So Rather Be Reading) - A benevolent King; ...his sword of power; ...a ruthless traitor bent on revenge; ...and the faithful son who stands in his way with the woman destined to share his throne. Who shall emerge as the victor in this epic struggle between good and evil to govern the lives of hapless men?

Rae - (Won from YA Book Queen) - Rae is beyond socially awkward. Since she was a little girl, Rae Swiggett knew something was different about her. The sound of planes flying overhead could spark a panic attack. Being called on in class was enough to push her over the edge. She feared the unknown, life, death, people . . . even fear itself. By the time she reached ninth grade, Rae was muddling through life in relative silence, convinced everyone was mocking her, judging her, picking her apart, bit by little bit.

Alexis - (Won from YA Book Queen) - After a rocky junior year of high school, Alexis Singer was lonely, stressed out, and vulnerable--the ideal target for an older man with bad intentions. When a message popped up on her computer screen one night from a message board acquaintance, she could never have known that by responding she was making a choice that would change her forever. By posing as a friend and confidant, the man gave Alexis the attention she desperately craved and weaseled his way into her life in an unimaginable way.


Hannah - (Won from YA Book Queen) - Hannah Westberg has gone through more trauma in her eighteen years than many people will experience in a lifetime. Stemming from her depression and recently diagnosed borderline personality disorder, Hannah has engaged in dangerous behavior and has paid a high price. By the time she was in eighth grade, Hannah was cutting, popping pills, skipping class, and drinking. The following summer, she tried to commit suicide for the first time.

Annnnnndddd that's my puppy! I picked her up in Iowa on the epically long roadtrip from Utah to my new home in New Hampshire. She's a nine-week-old baby chow chow, and yes, she's real haha she most certainly not a stuffed animal haha

What did you receive this week? Leave me a link, and I'll be sure to check it out!

  6. I love the sound of The Victor. I don't think I've seen this one anywhere before so it really intrigues me. Plus, the cover is super-duper cool!

    And you Chow Chow looks SO CUTE! What's her name?? You definitely have to share another pic of her whilst she's playing (or when she's acting cute) someday!

  12. Great wins this week! I hadn't previously heard of Victor, so I'm looking forward to your review of it.

    Welcome to NH! You took quite a trek coming all the way from Utah, but at least you picked up an adorable puppy on the way.

    I'll definitely let you know about any author signings in the area, though there usually aren't too many.
