In My Mailbox (13)

Hey everyone! In My Mailbox is hosted by Kristi @The Story Siren.

I, thankfully, didn't have anything in my mailbox this week. (Except for a white Kindle cover! IT'S WHITE & GORGEOUS. Love it). I HAVE BEEN SO INSANELY BUSY THIS WEEK. I was suddenly called to learn and compete 2 routines in a week, so yeah, that took up a majority of my time. I finished The Knife of Never Letting Go by Patrick Ness, and my review should be coming up soon. I'm reading Dash & Lily's Book of Dares by Rachel Cohn and David Levithan now, and I'm loving it! 

Here's my Reading Pile (April 22-28) for this week:

Like I said, I'm reading Dash & Lily's Book of Dares by Rachel Cohn and David Levithan right now, and I'm not too far in. I'm super busy this week, so I think I may finish that near the end of the week. I want to start Wake by Lisa McMann as well. I know I won't finish it though. For school, we started reading The Odyssey by Homer. Yay. I am excited for the greek mythology though!

So that's it for this week! Did you guys get anything other than nothing in your mailbox? 

What's in your reading pile?

Hey everyone! In My Mailbox is hosted by Kristi @The Story Siren. 

This week, has been absolutely crazy. I had about a million tests and papers to write in school, since progress reports were coming out. Later that week, I was called to help compete in 2 routines with a dance studio (which is happening on the 21st). I gladly accepted since I love to dance. But that meant that my reading time was cutoff a lot. So I hardly read anything. But I did do some extra volunteering hours at the library, and picked up some books, which I need to stop doing, since I clearly have no time to read. I haven't even finished a book for April yet. D: 

But here's what I got this week!

From the library:

The Ask and the Answer (Chaos Walking #2) by Patrick Ness

I'm still reading the The Knife of Never Letting Go, but I really like it 

so I KNOW I'll want to read the second one! 

Jellicoe Road by Melina Marchetta

Y'all see that award, right? Yeah, I haven't read this one yet.

I'm *supposed* to get really emotional when reading this book.

We'll see if I actually do... I CAN'T WAIT THOUGH!

The Emerald Atlas (The Books of Beginning #1) by John Stephens

I first heard about this book from Priscilla from The Readables. 

It looks so great! It's a middle grade. :)

Vampire Academy (Vampire Academy #1) by Richelle Mead

Yeah.. who HASN'T heard of this series? I'm probably the only person

who hasn't read it yet though... -__- I've heard that the first one isn't 

the best, but it gets AMAZING as the series progresses, right?! 

And so now, I'm trying something new. I want to start a "My Reading Pile" meme started by Rachel @Fiktshun. It's an AWESOME blog!

My Reading Pile this week:

I have yet to finish The Knife Of Never Letting Go by Patrick Ness, and Wanderlove by Kristen Hubbard. I've been reading these two books for more than 2 weeks! I guess I AM still busy. I think I might be only planning to finish Wanderlove, with all of the stuff going on this week. 

So that's it, fellow readers! What did you get in your mailbox? What's in your reading pile? 

Feel free to comment!

Hey y'all! I'm back with an IMM! It's hosted by Kristi @The Story Siren.

Here's what I got this week! (and last week!)

From the library:

Liesl & Po by Lauren Oliver

I'm so freaking stoked! I loved Before I Fall!

Wake (Dream Catcher #1) by Lisa McMann

I seriously needed to read this series. 

Fade (Dream Catcher #2) by Lisa McMann

Gone (Dream Catcher #3) by Lisa McMann

The Butterfly Clues by Kate Ellison

I got this from Netgalley a couple of months ago, but never really got to it.

Now I will! It actually sounds like a GREAT mystery. :)

A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness & Siobhan Dowd

Did you know that Siobhan Dowd is dead? That made me so extremely sad.

 I'm reading The Chaos Walking series by Patrick Ness right now and 

am LOVING it so I wanted to check out Patrick's other work. This one sounds great!

That's all I got this week in my mailbox! What did you get? 

Feel free to leave links! I'd love to see. :)

In My Mailbox is hosted by Kristi @ The Story Siren! This week, I got:

Fateful by Claudia Gray

I haven't read any of Claudia's other novels, but I figured I'd start 

off with this one, since it's not part of a series or anything. It looks 

great--werewolves & the Titanic! (Borrowed from Library)

The Name of the Star by Maureen Johnson

I read her book Suite Scarlett a couple of years ago and didn't 

like it much. But this isn't her usual chick flitty type of book, 

so I thought I'd give it a shot! (Borrowed from Library)

Bridger by Megan Curd

I saw Ya-Aholic's Review of this one a couple of months back, 

and it looks so intriguing (Haley's reviews are very informative!)

 And then I saw it was FREE! :D (Bought from Amazon, free)

Kiss the Morning Star by Elissa Janine Hoole
Yipee! I absolutely LOVE roadtrip books. :) So friggin' excited.
(From Netgalley)

First Frost by Jennifer Estep
This is #0.5 of the Mythos Academy Series, and I have just been wanting to
 read this series for FOREVER. I can't. Wait. Not sure if I'll be able
 to get to it though. :( (Ebook borrowed from Library)

That's what I have in my mailbox! Really good week, even though so little.
I need to catch up on my reading. What did you get?

 Feel free to leave a link or comment!
