In My Mailbox (8)


In My Mailbox is a meme created by The Story Siren where bloggers can talk about which books they have received over the week.

This week I received:


Guys! I got the entire Hunger Games trilogy. PLUS the Tribute guide. Don't judge me here- you know those book orders things from Scholastic we all got in elementary school? Well, my little brother came home with one of those and this was on the front cover. I was actually supposed to get the mocking jay pin with it, but they said they were out of stock at the moment and would send it as soon as they got more. That's okay though! 'Cause as a kind of consolation, they gave me the Tribute Guide for free :D
When my brother came home with the books I was like "This is the best Christmas ever!" In April..yes, I know. And to really show how much I wanted this, I'm admitting that, yes, I did choose to pay for this set instead of paying my phone bill. Oh well. It was well worth it.

Also this week...I got in a super awesome swag pack that I won over at Book Absorption. I tried to take a picture, but my phone's camera is awful quality so I thought I'd spare you all having to look at that. Basically, I got a bunch of bookmarks, some signed, two scented pencils (peppermint, if you were wondering. And apparently they are supposed to help with tests. I've yet to try that out.), and drumroll please..... 
A poster of Gale! *Squee* Okay, I'm so "Team Peeta" but come on! How can you resist Liam Hemsworth?? 

Overall, this was seriously an excellent mail week for me :)

What was in your mailbox this week? I'd love to know!

W.W.W. Wednesdays (9)

To play along just answer the following three (3) questions and leave your link at Should Be Reading:

1. What are you currently reading?

Out of a clear blue sky...

Since being taken in by wealthy Mrs. Jordan March and living in her exquisite home like a daughter, Sasha Porter's traumatic past--destitute on the streets, and the shattering accident that killed her mother--seems like a fading nightmare. Beautiful and sophisticated, as bold and daring as her "sister," Kiera March, Sasha still keeps her mother's wise words close to her heart: never fully trust anyone. Inside her privileged new world, it's advice that will prove more precious than gold.

... can anything stop the downpour?

Against the wishes of Jordan's husband, Donald, Sasha attracts the attention of Ryder Garfield, a shy, handsome athlete, and maneuvers her way into his heart. But Ryder's hidden torment soon explodes in a horrific tragedy that pulls Sasha into a flood of guilt and despair. And when someone she thought she could trust targets her vulnerability, Sasha recalls her mother's warnings--and a violent storm of dark deceptions and shocking family secrets is unleashed. Will she sink or swim?
