In My Mailbox is a meme created and hosted by Kristi over at The Story Siren with inspiration from Alea at Pop Culture Junkie. It basically give book bloggers everywhere the opportunity to share what books they have received/bought/librarised (yes, I know that librarised is not a word) over the last week. It's also responsible for my personal wish list and TBR piles growing by several dozen titles each week as I get inspired by what everyone else gets in their mailbox...

Not much this week, as playing catch up reading for the last two weeks.
Bought:
Laurie Faria Stolarz
Hyperion 2008
Was quite excited about reading this, but finished it yesterday and thought it suffered from an original idea ruined by several unoriginal plot points. Review to follow soon.
Lisa Schroeder
Simon Pulse 2008
I wouldn't normally have picked up a book written entirely in free verse (despite being a great poetry lover) as I couldn't imagine a whole story being told that way. However, I have read so many wonderful reviews of this that I am really looking forward to reading it. And it looks gorgeous.
Librarised:
Patrick Ness
Walker 2009
I recently read The Knife of Never Letting Go (see my review here) and was completely bowled over. I am now about 50 pages into The Ask and the Answer and am completely astounded. Astonishing writing.

I've been itching to read I Heart You, You Haunt Me. :]
Oh and Deadly little Secrets should be awesome as well, but I also haven't read it!
