In My Mailbox - August 2nd

In my Mailbox is hosted by The Story Siren :)

Another great batch of books this week - woo hoo!
Anyone invent that time machine yet? You know, so we can give ourselves a few extra days each week just to read books? No? Oh well...maybe next time :)

From BookMooch:
  • A Season of Gifts by Richard Peck -- this isn't actually due out until the fall but someone had an ARC to mooch - woo hoo! I love Peck's books and this is his third featuring Grandma Dowdel.
  • Harry Potter Should have Died from Mugglenet.com - saw this at the bookstore and thought it would be an interesting read. I think it's funny when fans argue with an author about how a book was 'suppose' to end.
  • 100 Cupboards by N.D. Wilson -- been wanting to read this one for a while. The 1st in a series.
  • Among the Hidden by Margaret Peterson Haddix -- a youth dystopia story that looks really interesting
  • Get Well Soon by Julie Halpern -- read about this on someone's blog :) and it looked good.
Gift:
  • Ghost Huntress Book 1: The Awakening by Marley Gibson -- I've seen a few reviews for this and it looked good. Should get it read this week with a review up.
Requested:
  • Once a Witch by Carolyn MacCullough -- ARC copy that MacCullough's publicist sent to me. I've already read it and loved it! Review to follow today or tomorrow.
Bought:
  • Turning to One Another by Margaret Wheatley -- nonfiction book about communication.
  • What to Read When by Pam Allyn -- nonfiction book about what books you should read to your children at what ages. I know the author's sister in law and it came highly recommended.
  • The Reader by Berhnard Schlink -- I already read this one actually :) But I had put it aside to buy at work and forgot about it - finally took it home with me this week.
  • Fearless Girls, Wise Women & Beloved Sisters by Kathleen Ragan -- a collection of fairy tales and folktales from around the world featuring women as heroines.
  • General Winston's Daughter by Sharon Shinn - another YA fantasy by my favorite author.

I bought more books this week that I usually do - oh well :)
Receiving Once a Witch in the mail was a very nice surprise.
So much reading to do - woo hoo!!
