(First) 'In My Mailbox' 1

After book blogging for a year and a half, and enjoying everyone's IMM posts the entire time, I've finally decided to join in the fun! In My Mailbox is hosted by The Story Siren.

I picked a GREAT week to start IMM as I got lots of awesome books this week!:)

For Review:

The Promises She Keeps by Erin Healy - this sounds like a really great dramatic, emotional read. I look forward to reading it!
Tales From The Yoga Studio by Rain Mitchell - sounds like a really fun chick-lit novel about friendship. I love the cover!
Code of Justice by Liz Johnson - this is for a book tour, and is signed! Woohoo! Looks like some good romantic suspense!
Starring in the Movie of My Life by Laurel Osterkamp - sounds like really good contemporary fiction. I'm glad this was sent because now I have discovered a new author! Her other book, Following My Toes, sounds great too. As you can see, two copies... one for me and one for a giveaway! :)
A Pug's Tale by Allison Pace - (not pictured) I got this as an ARC and am SOOO excited to read it because I LOVE pugs! I plan on getting a pug as soon as I get my own place. The cover has pugs all over it and I love it! Won/Paperback Swap:

I won a Nancy Holder prize pack from Bookish in a Box! I got Possessions, Pretty Little Devils, and Wicked: Resurrection. Thanks, Erin!
Sheetrock Angel by Jeanne C. Davis - I recently reviewed this one and Jeanne was nice enough to send me an autographed copy!
Joyride by Jack Ketchum - he's an awesome horror writer. One of my Secret Santa's from Goodreads sent me one of his books that she got personalized and autographed for me called Ladies Night. I ordered this one from PBS.
Off Season by Jack Ketchum - another one from PBS. Jack Ketchum rocks. If you like horror, read him!
Purchased/Goodreads Swap:

Gil's All Fright Diner by A. Lee Martinez - this seems like goofy horror and looks like a lot of fun. I bought it from Amazon.
The End of Alice by A.M. Homes - this looks like a creepy kind of book, but seems interesting. From Amazon.
The Reunion by Sue Walker - this looks so good - a suspense about former mental patients. From Amazon.
How To Bake a Perfect Life by Barbara O'Neal - looks like great chick-lit. From Amazon.
The Lost Recipe for Happiness by Barbara O'Neal - also looks cute. From Amazon.
Secret Language by Monica Wood - this looks like an interesting book about sisters. I got it from Goodreads Swap.
The Next Thing on My List by Jill Smolinski - I've been wanting to read this book for a long time, a bucket list type chick-lit book. Goodreads Swap.
The Bird Room by Chris Killen - seemed like an intriguing love story, supposed to be dark and funny. Goodreads Swap.
The False Friend by Myla Goldberg- I've seen this one at the library a lot. Seems like a dramatic read about an abduction. Goodreads Swap.
You'll Never Blue Ball in This Town Again by Heather McDonald- this looks like a really funny memoir that I've also been seeing around at the library a lot about her quest to lose her virginity. Goodreads Swap.
High on Arrival by Mackenzie Phillips - this is another memoir that I've been wanting to read. I've gotten it from the library a couple of times but never got to read it, so I decided to grab it when I saw it on Goodreads Swap.
Along For the Ride by Sarah Dessen - I'm excited for this one. I love Sarah Dessen! Goodreads Swap.

Whew! That took forever, but it was fun! So that's what I got this week, how about you?

  4. I'm a fan of Barbara O'Neal's books. I liked The Lost Secret for Happiness and really enjoyed The Secret of Everything. I picked up her latest in December but haven't read it yet. Enjoy all your new books!

  11. Holy cow! I didn't realize that the ARC for A Pug's Tale was available! I've been pining for that one forever because I absolutely ADORED Pug Hill.

    I am a pug lover too - though I'm lucky enough to have two of my own. Hope you get your own place soon so you can basque in the fun and humor of being owned by a pug. ;o)
