*Don’t forget to check out my giveaway! I’m giving away my copy of I Now Pronounce You Someone Else by Erin McCahan. Click here to enter!*
In My Mailbox, started by Kristi from The Story Siren is an awesome weekly meme to post what books we’ve received this week; whether it was sent for review by a publisher, purchased at a book store, borrowed from the library, or won from a giveaway.
This week, I got some great books from the library and purchased one on my mom’s Nook.
From the library:
Firefly Lane by Kristin Hannah: My mom has been raving about this book since she read it this summer, so I put it on reserve at the library and it came in this week.
Sliding Into Home by Kendra Wilkinson: A few years ago, I couldn’t get enough of the TV show The Girls Next Door. I was fascinated by the three girlfriends lives at the Playboy Mansion and this book is sort of an insiders view of Kendra’s time there.
Purchased from the Nook:
My Nest Isn’t Empty, It Just Has More Closet Space by Lisa Scottoline and Francesca Scottoline Seritella: My mom is obsessed with Lisa Scottonline’s weekly column in the Philadelphia Inquirer and turned me onto her writing. This book is co-authored by Lisa and her daughter Francesca (stay tuned for an interview on the blog with Francesca!) I heard them speak together and they were super funny, so I’m really excited to read this book!
What’s in your mailbox today?
Firefly Lane was amazing! You will love it!
Everyone is saying that! Makes me super excited to read it!
Great books you got this week. Hope you enjoy reading them all.
Thanks! Enjoy your week as well 🙂
Firefly Lane looks really good! Can’t wait to see what you think of it. 🙂
Here’s what I got in my mailbox this week! Happy readings!
I will definitely review it as soon as I’m done 🙂
interesting books. I liked watching the girls next door too. That should be an interesting read.
I skimmed through it and read mainly the parts about the mansion. Life there seemed completely crazy!
Great selection of books! They all look fab. Happy reading 🙂

Have a great week!
Yes! I am absolutely testing out the Nook…the Scottoline book is the first one I’m going to read on there…hopefully I like it since I pre-ordered the Nook color for Christmas 🙂
I’ve heard such great things about Firefly Lane! I will definitely let you know.
@Jessica Lawlor,
I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on the NookColor!
I love the cover on Firefly Lane! Looks amazing! Happy Reading! Mine is here: http://nikkibrandyberry.wordpress.com/
I know! How cute is that? Heading over to check out yours now!
I loooooove Kristen Hannah books! Firefly Lane was one of my favs!
Really?! That’s great. My mom has been pestering me to read it forever, so I finally put it on reserve!
Kate Brian’s Private series, a la YOUR recommendation 😉
YAY! Have you started yet?
@Jessica Lawlor,
Still working my way through The Passage (AMAZEBALLS), but it’s next on the list!
YAY for Kristin Hannah! I’ll have to check out that Kendra book – sounds good!
I’ve heard great things about Hannah! I’m hoping I love the book.
The Kendra book was just okay…I was mainly just curious to hear some dirt about the mansion 🙂
Ohhhhh, I loved Firefly Lane when I read it last year. Jess, you will LOVE it! 🙂
YAY! I’m so excited now.
I love the title of My Nest Isn’t Empty… I don’t know anything about the book, but it sounds funny just from the title.
@Alison, It’s basically a mother and daughter collaborating on a book…it’s super funny. They write a column in my local newspaper and it’s always hilarious…the book is the same 🙂 Check it out!
I really enjoyed Firefly Lane. It was a lot darker than I thought it would be. Enjoy!
First of all, Firefly Lane is one of my all-time favorite books! I hope you love it! Second of all, have you read the one on your mom’s Nook yet? Are you any closer to your decision between a Nook and a Kindle?
I haven’t heard of any of those – but they sound good. I may have to check them out.
