In My Mailbox 22

It's the weekend already?! Craziness. I'm back at school for my second semester and so far my classes seem good. The only thing difference is that this time they're in the early morning (I wake up at 6:30 AM and by the time it's 8:00 AM, I'm in my statistics class.) but I intentionally chose these hours because even though it sucks to wake up early, it's great to be released be let out early. It'll be noon and I'll be freeeee!

So before I get even more off-topic, I'll redirect & show you what I got.

From Around The World Tours:
When I see these books side by side, I'm struck with how completely DIFFERENT they are. They couldn't be any more unsimilar.

Fallen by Lauren Kate. It's gotten so many mixed reviews that I had to read it to see where I stand. Am I on team love-it or hate-it? I'm happy to report that I finished it! (and sent it out this morning to the next person.... so should I even be mentioning it on this IMM post? Hmm.) You'll have to stick around for my review to see if I liked it or not ;) 
Nailed by Jennifer Laurens. Don't know much about the author but I read the synopsis for the book and it sounded like a cute, light read. Hopefully I'll enjoy :)

From Other Shelf Tours:

By The Time You Read This, I'll be Dead by Julie Anne Peters
Sad title, even more depressing cover.... I'm intrigued, that I am.

From the library:  

The Wind Blows Backward by Mary Downing Hahn
Someone told me about this book a long time ago and I've always been curious about it. The cover is so old-school...but I like it. If you're interested, you should read the excerpt available on Amazon. If you look, tell me! I want to know what you think about it :)

That's what I've got! What's in your mailbox?

  1. Fallen and Nailed are on my wishlist and so is By the Time You Read This, I'll Be Dead which I really REALLY want.

    The Wind Blows Backward sounds like a really awesome book. I'll definitely have to look into that one some more. :D

    Great books girl and happy reading.

  4. I'm Team Love-it of Fallen, BUT I'm starting to review my review on it. I think I wasn't even thinking right when I did it, though I still think it's a pretty good book. I've reviewed Fallen. It's on my blog if you want to see - http://booksoutofthebookshelves.blogspot.com

    And here is my IMM: Here's mine: http://booksoutofthebookshelves.blogspot.com/2010/01/in-my-mailbox-4.html

  19. Oh, great books! I can't wait to hear what you think of Fallen (since I'm on the negative side, haha)! And I agree that By the Time You Read This, I'll Be Dead has a depressing cover, but that's what makes it so interesting. Happy reading! :D
