In My Mailbox #72

In My Mailbox is hosted by Kristi at The Story Siren.  It's a weekly meme where we all get to brag about the books and swag we got in the mail, for review, won in contests, etc.

Yay yay yay!  I am officially on vacation!!!  I can't wait to catch up on my reading!!!!!!!!!  =)

For Review:

Dirty Little Secret
via Edelweiss & MTV Books

Ya'll, I loved the last Jennifer Echols book I read - Such a Rush - which also happened to be the first Jennifer Echols book I've read.  I cannot wait to see what she does with this story, being a country girl myself.  Okay.  A city-fied country girl.  Whatever.  :P

Won/Gifted:

Burn Bright swag from Marianne de Pierres
for participating in cover reveal of series release on Amazon

Purchased:

Another week, another stop at Half Price Books:

First, who made the decision to keep it a secret that there was a book out there about killer unicorns, huh?  I have another of Diana Peterfreund's books on my shelf that I'm dying to read -- maybe while I'm on vacation this week??? -- but I think that if I had known about the Killer Unicorns series, I would have made her books priority.  There is no way this can't be awesome.

Alas, I finally have the final book in the Firelight series by Sophie Jordan. I won the first two books, but I was waiting on the final book to be released before I started.  And then I nabbed an ARC at HPB for $5.  Sweet!

The two Lemony Snicket books are for my daughter.  I won the first book for my daughter a few months ago, and she's not really at that age yet, but now my husband is obsessed with owning them all for her.  I'm starting to think my inclination toward pretty books is rubbing off on him.  :D


So, that's my haul.  What did you get this week?

Reviews:  Amy & Roger's Epic Detour (audio) & The Fault in Our Stars (audio)

Current Giveaways:  A is for Audiobook & Lunar Love Giveaway Hop

The Week Ahead:

My baby girl turns 5 on Monday and her party is today, so I'm sure I won't be able to help sharing pix later.  =)

I plan to tackle my Review tab and get a running list going of reviews from the blog...something I've been meaning to do for awhile, and it was one of my blogging resolutions this year.  So, while I've got time off, assuming my 5yo will leave me alone for a little bit, I'm going to work on that.  :)
