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:
FOR REVIEW:
Wrapped by Jennifer Bradbury - (eARC - Thank you, Simon & Schuster Galley Grab) - Agnes Wilkins dreams of adventures that reach beyond the garden walls, but reality for a seventeen-year-old debutante in 1815 London does not allow for camels—or dust, even. No, Agnes can only see a mummy when she is wearing a new silk gown and standing on the verdant lawns of Lord Showalter’s estate, with chaperones fussing about and strolling sitar players straining to create an exotic “atmosphere” for the first party of the season. An unwrapping.
Boyfriends With Girlfriends by Alex Sanchez - (eARC - Thank you, Simon & Schuster Galley Grab) - Lance has always known he was gay, but he's never had a real boyfriend. Sergio is bisexual, but his only real relationship was with a girl. When the two of them meet, they have an instant connection--but will it be enough to overcome their differences? Allie's been in a relationship with a guy for the last two years--but when she meets Kimiko, she can't get her out of her mind. Does this mean she's lesbian? Does it mean she's bi?
Between Here and Forever by Elizabeth Scott - (eARC - Thank you, Simon & Schuster Galley Grab) - Abby accepted that she can’t measure up to her beautiful, magnetic sister Tess a long time ago, and knows exactly what she is: Second best. Invisible. Until the accident. Now Tess is in a coma, and Abby’s life is on hold. It may have been hard living with Tess, but it's nothing compared to living without her.
FOR REVIEW
Stay by Deb Caletti - (eARC - Thank you, Simon & Schuster Galley Grab) - Clara’s relationship with Christian is intense from the start, and like nothing she’s ever experienced before. But what starts as devotion quickly becomes obsession, and it’s almost too late before Clara realizes how far gone Christian is—and what he’s willing to do to make her stay.
BOUGHT
The Truth About Forever by Sarah Dessen - Sixteen-year-old Macy Queen is looking forward to a long, boring summer. Her boyfriend is going away. She's stuck with a dull-as-dishwater job at the library. And she'll spend all of her free time studying for the SATs or grieving silently with her mother over her father's recent unexpected death. But everything changes when Macy is corralled into helping out at one of her mother's open house events, and she meets the chaotic Wish Catering crew.
Just Listen by Sarah Dessen - Last year, Annabel was "the girl who has everything"—at least that's the part she played in the television commercial for Kopf's Department Store.This year, she's the girl who has nothing: no best friend because mean-but-exciting Sophie dropped her, no peace at home since her older sister became anorexic, and no one to sit with at lunch. Until she meets Owen Armstrong.

You're having a 'pretty cover week' this week - especially the last three. They all look great. Stay sounds great and I've heard such good things about Sarah Dessen although I haven't read any of her books myself. Hope you enjoy them all.
ReplyDeleteI am reading Stay now. The first few pages are nice enough.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how do you manage reading those eARC with the expired date

Great stuff! Sarah Dessen is awesome... enjoy!
ReplyDeleteLots of these books have a summer feeling to them! I always forget to add my e books to my IMM posts =(
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy these all.
Great set! I really want to read the Elizabeth Scott book. Just Listen intrigues me more than Dessen's other books.
ReplyDeleteMy IMM
Wow! Lots of good books! I wanted all those books from the galley grab but I resisted because I just have too many to read as it is. I did get Shift, but that's it.
ReplyDeleteI have those two Sarah Dessen books and STILL haven't read them!
Love The Truth about Forever and Just Listen! Great books this week, Melissa! :)
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy each and every one,
I approve so much of this mailbox! *snuggles it* Oh sorry about that.... when I see Sarah Dessen books I can't help myself. =b
ReplyDeleteBut seriously, love those, and I thought 'Stay' was so beautiful' ... I got 'Wrapped' this week from GalleyGrab as well. It looks so interesting!
Between Here and Forever looks like a heart-wrenching read! Might need the Kleenex's out for that one! Great mailbox Melissa!
ReplyDeleteFantastic books this week. I have been wanting to read Wrapped for forever. Mummies YAY! Happy Reading!
ReplyDeleteGreat books girl! I was so excited to see Boyfriends with Girlfriends on GalleyGrab as I have been wanting it since you WOW-ed it :)
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy all your books!
Happy reading :D I Great mailbox this week
ReplyDeleteOmg. Sarah Dessen, Elizabeth Scott, and Deb Caletti?!! Great week for YOU! :)
ReplyDeleteI loved The Truth About Forever and Just Listen! Sarah Dessen is amazing, I really hope you enjoy them. Happy reading :).
ReplyDeleteI'm reading Wrapped now-- it's so good!! And Boyfriends With Girlfriends is just the most fun book ever-- I'm actually dying to re-read it, even though I just read it about a month ago. Happy reading! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat books this week! I'm looking forward to reading Between Here and Forever, but want to read Bloom first. Elizabeth said that a minor character from Bloom plays a large part (maybe the MC?) in BHaF, so I want to Bloom prior to the newer one.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy!
I can't wait to read Wrapped. For some reason, I looooove the cover. Have fun reading!
ReplyDeleteGreat books Melissa :) I went on a bit of an e-ARC downloading spree this week too. But I forgot to include them in my haul -.- It happens every week.
