In My Mailbox {#8}

In My Mailbox is hosted by Kristi over at The Story Siren! It's a chance to share what books you've gotten in the past week, whether in your mailbox, from the store or the library! 


LOOK WHAT CAME!
I'm super excited to dive into The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater! I pre-ordered on the 12th of this month and It arrived on the release date - right on time! 


I also bought these books for my Kindle:


AHHHHHH:



I was incredibly lucky and won a signed ARC of Born Wicked by Jessica Spotswood. I've been wanting to read this SOSOSO bad, so I was over the freaking moon to win this! I also won an ARC of The Catastrophic History of You & Me by Jess Rothenberg, which I'm also very excited to read. Though I'm totally heart broken, because when I read the summary on the back I realized how similar it sounded to my current work in progress. Goodbye work in progress, say hello to the Windows trash bin! I also won some signed bookmarks and a few stickers! Aren't they gorgeous? Thank you so much to Jessica Spotswood for hosting the giveaway!

    I love that cover for Born Wicked. Hope it's as good as it looks. Little Women & Me sounds interesting and I'll be waiting to see what you think of Between the Sea and the Sky.

    @Mandy Me too! :D I love seeing what people get! I don't know, but I think it's going to be sexeh! ;) The coolest part about this book is that the author is actually a photographer and she took the photo of her cover! Isn't is pretty? :D

    Looks like you got some totally fabulous books. :) The Catastrophic History of You and Me sounds like my kind of thing. We even appear to have a few title in common. (Between the Sea and Sky, via NetGalley) I hope that you have a great week. :)

    @Lan I haven't read the Hunger Games yet, so I wouldn't know. I realllllly need to though! Aaaah! :) It actually just caame in on hold for me at the library! I need to pick it up!

    @Kathy It sounds totally like my kind of thing too! :)

    @Anna YEEEEEEAH :D

    @Kate Me too! I'm really excited to read it! I've been afraid to pick it up though, because I want to wait a little closer to the release date! The only bad part about ARCS: waiting for the sequel is EVEN LONGER!

    @Wendy Thanks! :)

    @Karina I'm sooo excited! :D

    @roro I'm so excited to start Tempest! I'm in love with the cover!

    And thank you to all that commented! <3
