Here’s what I got in my mailbox this week:

For Review
Starcrossed by Josephine Angelini (from Josie)
{Goodreads | preorder from Book Depository}
Ultraviolet by R.J. Anderson (from NetGalley)
{Goodreads | preorder from Book Depository}

Josie contacted me on Twitter and asked if I wanted a copy of her book since she noticed that I’m counting down to STARCROSSED on my sidebar. I was pretty giddy cause that means she visited MY blog and personally wanted to send ME a copy of her book. Notice how she also sent me 3 Dark Days bookmarks? I’m actually accumulating a bunch of extra swag... maybe I’ll have to do a swag giveaway sometime soon... ;)

I got ULTRAVIOLET through NetGalley. It sounds like a really interesting book about Alison, a girl in a mental hospital who is accused of killing the popular girl at school. The problem is that no body has turned up and Alison doesn't understand what happened. The two were fighting, then the other girl just disintegrated. It sounds like something I'm not used to reading, so hopefully it will be a different experience for me!

I just have a couple pieces for In My Mailbox this week! Check it out:

Won
The Poison Eaters and Other Stories by Holly Black (from Simon & Schuster Canada's YA Blog)
{Goodreads | Book Depository}
Half-Blood swag (from Jennifer Armentrout)

To be honest, I'm kind of assuming that I won Poison Eaters from YA Simon Blog. I know I entered their contest, but I never got any kind of email saying I'd won it. I just came home today and BAM, there it was. Oh, no, I'm not complaining, just saying :). It looks really interesting. I haven't read any of Holly Black's stuff, but the stories seem interesting. Make sure you check it out.

And OMG I was so excited when I won that swag from Jennifer! It's so purdy! I actually won it from a random, spur-of-the-moment twitter contest that Jennifer did (you can find her on Twitter here). I can't wait until Half-Blood comes out so I can grab myself a copy to use my bookmark in :).

Here's what's in my mailbox this week!

For review
Solid by Shelley Workinger (from author)
{Goodreads | Book Depository}

The Near Witch by Victoria Schwab (from publisher through NetGalley)
{Goodreads | preorder from Book Depository}

If I haven't said how much I love authors, then here it comes!! Shelley contacted me last week because I had added SOLID to my to-read list on Goodreads and she wanted to know if I wanted a copy of it. Her second novel, SETTLING (sequel to SOLID) is coming out this summer and she was clearing out proof copies of SOLID, so she offered a copy to me. I have to admit, I totally fangirled. A lot. I've never had an author contact me asking if I wanted a copy of their book before (Proof that I'm still a newbie blogger, clearly). If this doesn't prove to you that authors are amazing, check this out, too:

YEAH. SHE SIGNED IT TOO. More fangirling definitely happened when I opened this up. This is my first signed book, too! Man I feel like SUCH a newbie!

Anyway, even though my mailbox only gave me two books this week, I am so happy with what I got! I can't wait to read these books, they sounds awesome.
