In My Mailbox #100

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.

I have family in town this weekend, so it's unlikely I'll get as much reading done as I'd like, but it'll be nice to get together. It's supposed to be gorgeous this weekend, and I think I'd rather take advantage of the "cold front" that's sweeping through.  (It's going to be 85, down from 98 last week.  In Texas, that IS a cold front. Lol.)

For Review:

I wish I could say that I was a good girl and didn't request anything this week, but the truth of the matter is, I did request a few titles...it's just that my approvals haven't come in yet.  :)

Purchased:

I've read all of these already -- and loved them -- but I decided to treat myself to some items on my Amazon wishlist.  I know, I know...really?  After that massive HPB haul and all of the review copies I've received lately, I have enough books on hand....but I've already read these, so I'm just adding finished copies to my collection.  No harm done.  =)

Also, my signed and Maggie-doodled copy of The Dream Thieves arrived this week.  I'm going to her signing on Wednesday here in Dallas to get the rest of my books signed.  And I have a lot of them.  But she'll be so busy signing that she won't be able to doodle, so I had to get this copy from Fountain Bookstore.  :D


Won/Gifted/Other:

My awesome friend Emily from Book Jems offered to take my SJM books to a signing she was attending last week and look at the pretties!  And SJM personalized each and every one!!!  Thanks, Em!  :D


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

The Week in Review:

Reviews:

• Monsters by Ilsa J. Bick
• The Waking Dark by Robin Wasserman (audio)
• Once We Were by Kat Zhang

Current Giveaways:  Win a mystery box of books in the So Many Books So Little Time Giveaway!  Ends tonight!!!  Also, the Banned Books Week Hop starts later today!

Promotional/Discussion Posts:  On Sunday, I advertised the fact that I have a new look. On Tuesday, I felt the pull of the grabby hands when I teased Susan Ee's World After -- the sequel to Angelfall -- and Not a Drop to Drink by Mindy McGinnis.  However, I'm still waiting on The Winner's Curse by Marie Rutkoski.  And then on Thursday, I announced some changes I'm making to how I read and blog.

Jen's Currently Reading/Listening To:

I'm really enjoying this novel so far.  It feels like a mix between Blood Red Road and Drought, and I like it.  And nothing really major has even happened yet.  Okay, well, that one thing happened, but it didn't feel all that major. ;)

I'm actually not currently listening to an audiobook...because I can't decide on my next listen.  I want to start Just One Day, but the second in the duology doesn't release for a couple of weeks.  So, should I read her If I Stay series instead?  Both of those books are pretty short...

The Week Ahead:

Reviews:   Not a Drop to Drink...and then I don't know.  I should probably finally review Haze, the second book in Paula Weston's Rephaim series.  Also, I need to review World After, but it's kind of early to post a review, isn't it?  Or do you guys want it now?  :P


Ends tonight!!!

Starts later today!!!
