In My Mailbox (5)



In My Mailbox is a weekly meme sponsored by The Story Siren.  It is a way for bloggers to network and share what books they are reviewing, borrowing, and/or buying.

It has been a slow reading week for me for a variety of reasons, but I am excited about adding these three books to my "mound" of reads. 

From B&N:
The Borrower by Rebecca Makkai - The books on the cover drew me to pick up this book, but what made me purchase it was the opening line on the dust jacket: "Lucy Hull, a young children's librarian in Hannibal, Missouri, finds herself both kidnapper and kidnapped when her favorite patron, ten-year-old Ian Drake, runs away from home." It looks like a great adult read about accepting and loving our children just as they are.

The Book of Elsewhere: Spellbound by Jacqueline West - I love the magic of a great children's series, and I really enjoyed the first novel,  The Shadows

Forever by Maggie Stiefvater - one of the most anticipated releases this summer, especially because of the way Linger ended, and I am curious to see how Maggie ends the story of Sam and Grace.


What did you get this week? Have you read any of these novels and loved/liked/hated them?

Happy reading to all!

    I haven't even started the Shiver series yet, but I've heard good things. Hope you enjoy Forever. The Book of Elsewhere sounds good. I like the cover on that one :D

  7. I read Forever last week and really, really enjoyed it. It's a bittersweet ending but still well-worth a read. The Borrower looks really interesting as well. Can't wait to see your review for it! Happy reading! :)
