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. All book titles link to further info at Goodreads.
Wintercraft
Jenna Burtenshaw
Headline 2010
I can't say that I know a huge amount about this book and haven't really read any reviews on it - but it looks like fun and is on my 2010 Debut Author Challenge list.
Paper Towns
John Green
Bloomsbury 2010
I recently read Looking for Alaska by Mr. Green and have made it my mission to read everything the man has ever written. This is the start and I really, really cannot wait to get stuck in.
I'd Tell You I Love You, But Then I'd Have To Kill You
Ally Carter
Orchard 2010
I've been reading quite a lot of serious stuff about death and change and, y'know, the trials of life recently. I wanted something fun and this looks like the perfect piece of summer reading.
Life As We Knew It
Susan Beth Pfeffer
Marion Lloyd Books 2007
A slightly older title, but it looks interesting. I've not read any YA fiction that I can think of that is post-apocolyptic and this could be interesting. I have the other two books in the series reserved at my local library so hope that this turns out to be a good start.
Are We There Yet
David Levithan
HarperCollinsChildren'sBooks 2007
I have heard only good things about David Levithan, and as he has now written a book by my new favourite, John Green I thought I should take a look at his stuff. This looks fun, different and interesting.
So that's it for this week - I'm looking forward to spending more time reading and blogging, having finished studying until October! Looking forward to seeing what everyone else has aquired and happy reading!
Comments
Also, David Levithan is fantastic.
Life As We Knew It is one of my favourites, actually. But then I adore the post-apocalyptic stuff in general.
I'm liking your John Green mission. Maybe I should adopt that mission too. Good call. :D
