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 from a publisher, purchased at a book store, borrowed from the library, or won from a giveaway.
Not too many books this week…I purposefully avoided any amazing book sales, especially after the awesomeness of last week. Where can I put in a request for more hours in a day to read?!
However, I couldn’t resist picking up two gems from my local library- two titles I’ve been excited to read for a long time!
Matched by Ally Condie: Yay! I finally got MATCHED. I’ve been excited to finally check this one out for some time now. Now that I’m into dystopian novels, I’ve been eating up as many as I can and I’ve heard this is a must-read.
Not That Kind Of Girl by Siobhan Vivian: I would read this book based on the scandalous cover alone, but it helps that it also sounds like a really interesting and fun story too.
What’s in your mailbox today?
These are two books I have on my tbr/wish list as well. 🙂 Love the covers! Great picks from the library. 🙂
I love the cover for MATCHED–I still stop and stare whenever I see it in stores 🙂 I’ve been wanting to read NOT THAT KIND OF GIRL ever since I read Forever Young Adult’s review for it–it seems like a great book. I can’t wait to read your thoughts on both these books! Happy reading 😀
Ooh, I haven’t heard of these. I will have to look for them now!
I had an awesome week for books… so good that I just might have to do my very first IMM! 🙂
I have matched sitting on my shelf. I need to read it because I’ve heard so many good things about it. Have a good weekend!
Fab books this week. Hope you enjoy them! You can see what I got in my mailbox here.
Ooh, you got two books I’ve been looking forward to reading for a while now so I can’t wait to see your reviews for them. Happy reading! 🙂
You got two great books!! ENJOY 😉
I want Matched since the first time I heard their wonderful reviews, but, I didn’t know the other one but I like the plot it seems a funny book! 😀 Enjoy reading!
Oh, Matched! One of my favorites….I am a huge dystopian fan. Just hopping by….enjoy your new reads!

I got to meet Ally Condie last week. She is the sweetest person!
@Kelly, SO jealous!
I’ve heard so many good things about Matched and really want to read it!
I can’t wait to get a copy of MATCHED. It had so much hype but then I’ve seen so many mixed reviews; so I’m definitely curious as to what I’ll think about it! Happy reading!
Check out what’s IMM this week!
I loved Matched! Hope you enjoy it!

Awesome books! I loved Matched (and I hope you do too), and Not that Kind of Girl looks great too 🙂
Happy reading!
I liked Matched and Not That Kind of Girl looks great, but I still need to read it. Happy reading!
I enjoyed Matched a lot, but it definitely has mixed reviews. I hope you enjoy it! I haven’t read Not That Kind of Girl, but maybe I’ll pick it up based on your review 🙂
Two books of which I have read really positive reviews! I have Matched on my shelves but haven’t gotten around to it yet… oops!
Happy reading!
I’ve heard so many awesome things about Matched, and I even have my own copy, but I haven’t gotten the chance to read it yet. I hope you enjoy it, though!
That cover IS scandalous! I’ve heard a lot of great things about her books though so I think I’m going to have to get one soon. Great books this week!
Ack, these two are towards the top of my TBR list, too! Can’t wait to hear what you think, especially about NOT THAT KIND OF GIRL. I hate the cover, but I have heard nothing but good things. Happy reading!
My IMM: http://maggiesbookshelf.blogspot.com/2011/02/in-my-mailboxread-this-week_20.html
I really enjoyed MATCHED. The writing was beautiful. It isn’t action driven, so it works at a leisurely pace, but I loved it. I know some people had trouble with the pacing though. I hope you like it! Happy reading!
@Jenny, I’m really enjoying it so far…I heard it got mixed reactions, but so far, no complaints from me!
I didn’t get anything this week so no IMM for me. Not that kind of Girl sounds really good, I need to check it out. I hope you enjoy them both, I read Matched and it wasn’t what I expected. Looking forward to see what you think of it. =)
Matched has definitely been on my radar for some time — hope you enjoy it! Will be eager to read your thoughts.
We’ll have to discuss Not That Kind of Girl when you’re done — dying to hear your thoughts! My thoughts were pure love!
@Anna, Yes! I will let you know my thoughts! I’m so glad you liked it; I have a feeling I will too.
