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.
After a fabulous week traveling to sunny Arizona for work AND celebrating my 23rd birthday, I was excited to come home on Friday to a package in the mail and two approvals for books I’m really looking forward to reading.
For Review
Life After College by Jenny Blake: I am SO looking forward to this book, written by a friend whom I’ve gotten to know through Twitter and her blog. And I so badly need this book, as I am fresh out of college and definitely trying to find my place in the real world.
From NetGalley
The Last Little Blue Envelope by Maureen Johnson: I will probably re-read 13 Little Blue Envelopes before I read this one, but I loved the first book when I read it years ago, and am excited to hear what happens next!
From Galley Grab
Invincible Summer by Hannah Moskowitz: I was originally drawn to this book because of the beautiful cover (um, hello body I wish I had!) but I’m also looking forward to reading it because it’s written from a male perspective- something I haven’t seen much of in YA!
And just for fun…a picture from my birthday with my favorite cocktail of the moment: sangria!
What’s in your mailbox today?
Happy Birthday! the last little blue envelope looks so good!
I LOVED Invincible Summer! So weird and unconventional. And absolutely brilliant. Enjoy! 🙂
I want to read Invincible Summer. I’ve heard it’s pretty sad. Nice and sweet IMM.
Great books, Jess! Invincible Summer is definitely one I’m excited about. Life After College seems really interesting. I’ll have to check that out.
Anyway, hope you enjoy! And Happy Birthday! 🙂
Maureen Johnson is the best :)))
Happy Birthday! Mmmm, Sangria!
Nice haul!
I signed up for and was approved to be a member of Galley Grab, but I don’t get how to use it.
@Kelly, I believe once you get the newsletter, you just click on titles of books and then it allows you to download them.
I didn’t get the newsletter yet for the Galley Grab. Pft. 🙁 Anyway, I hope you’ll enjoy all these novels. The last little blue envelope sounds like a nice read. Happy reading!
Take a look at what’s in my Mailbox this week.
@Majanka, I don’t think I got the March newsletter either. These books were from the February one 🙂
Great books you got this week. They all look really interesting. Hope you enjoy reading all your books.
You had a great week! I can’t wait to see what you think of Invincible Summer. It sounds so good!
Great mailbox this week Jessica. You did well! I hope you enjoy this week’s reads and happy Sunday!

Happy birthday! When made right, sangria is amazing!! Great list this week, by the way. I got the Last Little Blue Envelope from NetGalley a while back, hopefully I can get to it soon!
Happy Birthday, and Happy Reading! Love that Invincible Summer cover…
Great mailbox! I’m looking forward to reading The Last Little Blue Envelope!
Happy Reading!
Happy Birthday!!! : )
And, great mailbox this week! : ) I want to read the Last Blue Envelope but I need to read the first book first ha ha.

Your hair looks so cute! I love the bangs!
Sangria is yummmmy, and I like to think it’s good for you too… I mean, fruit?! Right?
@Amber, Thank you! I am loving the bangs!
Ha, cool picture. I loooooove cocktails! And netgalley is awesome. Wish I could download it aswell, but I haven’t read one single Maureen Johnson novel so far. Should really catch up, right?
My IMM can be found here
@Miss Page-Turner, Yes, definitely catch up! I read it awhile ago, but remember really enjoying it. I definitely need to read some of her other books soon.
I received The Last Little Blue Envelope this week too and can’t wait to get into it. Invincible Summer sounds interesting being from a male’s perspective and all. Here is my IMM.
I think I kinda get GalleyGrab after rereading the title page, but I haven’t gotten a newsletter either and was apparently approved, so I guess I’ll just wait and see what happens :P.
I can’t wait to read The Last Little Blue Envelope, but I want to reread it too. I don’t even know how long ago I read that book, and I lent it to a friend and never got it back :(.
I’ve never read anything by Maureen Johnson (although I do follow her on Twitter, but that doesn’t count, right?) and I really need to change that. Should I start with 13 Little Blue Envelopes?
I can’t wait to see what you think of TLLBE–I love Maureen. Happy birthday as well!
PS I like your bangs 🙂
Happy Belated B-day!

Happy belated birthday!! Hope you had lots of fun. I’m really looking forward to reading Invincible Summer. Enjoy them all!
I read The Last Little Blue Envelope last week, and I have to say it was fabulous- even better than the original, in my opinion. Invincible Summer looks great as well so I can’t wait to see your review for it! Oh, and happy belated birthday! 🙂
