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.
Happy New Year everyone! I hope you all had a great holiday and a great end of 2010. 2010 was definitely a love/hate year for me, but in terms of books, it was AWESOME. I know 2011 will be even better though…I already have a huge TBR list!
Without further ado…here are the books I received this week!
From the library:
Real Live Boyfriends by E. Lockhart: I absolutely loved the other Ruby Oliver books and I feel like I’ve been waiting A LONG time for this one to come out! Can’t wait.
From NetGalley:
Delirium by Lauren Oliver: After reading, loving and raving about BEFORE I FALL, many of my Twitter friends immediately told me, “DELIRIUM is EVEN BETTER!” I couldn’t believe that this could be true, but I’ve been reading it since yesterday and I haven’t been able to put it down!
Free from Amazon for Kindle:
Wish by Alexandra Bullen: First of all, I think it’s really cool that Amazon and Barnes and Noble offer free books every now and then for Kindle and Nook. I was super excited when The Compulsive Reader posted that this gem was free on Amazon for a limited time. How cute is the cover? Bullen’s latest, a companion to WISH, just came out yesterday! It’s called WISHFUL THINKING.
What’s in your mailbox today?
Don’t you just love NetGalley?! I’m trying to not request too many books at one. I am excited to read Delirium, I’m waiting for the hardcover to come out. I loved Before I Fall, and have only heard wonderful things about Delirium. I’m also getting ready to do a Ruby Oliver Read-a-thon (on my own). I just started Perfect Chemistry, so it will have to wait. But I have all 4 books waiting for me.
We really do read a lot of the same books. It’s pretty funny. Thanks for stopping by my blog and commenting often. It is nice to see a familiar face!
@Joli @ Actin’ Up with books, I SO love NetGalley! I have two books left to download and they are spring releases, so I’m trying to hold onto them a little longer before I read them. I can’t believe you’re holding out for the hardcover- I’m definitely getting it when it comes out, but I couldn’t wait that long 🙂
I loved Delirium, it’s amazing! I hope you love it too. Enjoy!!
Great list this week! I got Delirium from NetGalley a while ago, it is fantastic! Jealous that you read Real Live Boyfriends already–my library has it on order, but I don’t think it’s come in yet. Oh, and I got Wish, too, but I can’t figure out how to get it onto my nook.

Have a great week!
@Christi Aldellizzi, Oh no! What’s going on with your Nook?!
@Jessica Lawlor, \
Nothing’s wrong with my nook, I just can’t seem to figure out how to get Wish on it. So far I can only read it on my computer. ??
Yay for free books!! I got Wish as well and really need to read Delirium – I have only heard super amazing things. Glad you are enjoying 🙂
@Tara, Oh man, I absolutely loved it.
Great mailbox. I just signed up for the ebook challenge hoping to give my ereader a bit of use. I need to go back to NetGalley and see if I can get it to work,they have some great titles.
@Elie, Let me know if you have any NG questions! I love the site so much.
I loved Delirium! I’m glad to hear you’re enjoying it. I haven’t read any E. Lockhart, but her books sound really sweet. Enjoy. 😀
@Adriana, Her books are really awesome. They are cute and easy reads.
Absolutely LOVED Delirium!
Yes, Delirium is beyond unputdownable. LOVED beyond LOVED. Enjoy!
@Anna, You are so right!
All three of those look super good – the Ruby Oliver boosk are so cute! Happy reading 🙂
@Erica, They are really cute! Have you read them all?
@Jessica Lawlor, I’ve only read 2 of them – I have yet to get to I think the 2nd one. I read them out of order and read Treasure Map of Boys first.
Okay, that’s it. I’m picking up the Ruby Oliver books – REAL LIVE BOYFRIENDS seems to be all I’ve heard about for the past few weeks! DELIRIUM, too. Enjoy!

@Becky, It is definitely amazing, Becky! I hope you love it. I started WISH today and I am liking it so far. Hooray for free e-books!
Ooh, I’m so jealous that you got Real Live Boyfriends! I’ve been dying to read that one for ages now! Also, I liked Wish a lot so I hope you do too. Happy reading!
