In My Mailbox (22): The Birthday Edition!

In this meme, hosted by Kristi at The Story Siren, we share the books we've received, bought or taken out from the library.

I celebrated my birthday today, so I waited to put up my IMM post until after I'd opened presents (books are, of course, a given :D).


Gifts:

The Writer's Guide to Psychology: How To Write Accurately About Psychological Disorders, Clinical Treatment and Human Behavior by Carolyn Kaufman

Waterfall by Lisa Bergren

Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys

The Penderwicks by Jeanne Birdsall

Please Don't Be True by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor (a 3-in-1 compilation of some books in the Alice series that I don't have yet!)

When You Reach Me by Rebecca Stead

For review:

Possession by Elana Johnson and Divergent by Veronica Roth (as part of A Cornucopia of Dystopia)

Griffin Rising by Darby Karchut (from the author - thanks Darby!)


Won:

Once Every Never chapter sampler by Lesley Livingston (signed!), from Midnight Bloom Reads – thanks very much Liz!

Liz also went to a signing by Lisa McMann and got her to sign a card to me :) Awesome!

From the library:

Castle Waiting by Linda Medley

Choker by Elizabeth Woods

Picture Perfect by D. Anne Love

And you know me and library discards...I just can't resist!

The Deep by Helen Dunmore - this is the 3rd in the Ingo series, and I own the first one but haven't read it yet...I've had this series recommended to me, though, so I thought this might motivate me to get started on it!

So...a fabulous mailbox week for me! Can't wait to dig into some of these books :)
