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 :)
Happy birthday! Looks like you got some great books :) And I'm really jealous of that shiny copy of Divergent you've got there.
ReplyDeleteHappy reading :)
Happy birthday Danya, I hope you had a great day! You certainly got some fabulous books. Oh yes, you should read the first in the Ingo series when you can. I really want to re-read them at some point. I'm looking forward to seeing what you think of Waterfall and Between Shades of Grey, I've heard nothing but good things about them in reviews. Enjoy :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to read 'Divergent' ... everyone says it's amazing!
I actually just read 'When You Reach Me' -- I bought it for part of my little cousin's birthday present, but I had to read it first, haha. It was definitely really good.
Happy Birthday, Danya!
ReplyDeleteHappy Belated Birthday!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to read your review on "Divergent". I've heard it's fabulous. I know the first 100 pgs are available online but I can't put myself through the torture or not knowing what happens next.
Happy Reading!
