In My Mailbox #12

In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by Kristi at The Story Siren. It's a great way to showcase the books you've gotten over the week, whether they are bought, borrowed or free.

Here's what is in my mailbox this week...

From the Library:

Something Like Fate - Susane Colasanti


eBooks:
(Courtesy of S&S Galley Grab)

Blood Red Road - Moira Young
Forbidden - Tabitha Suzuma
The Day Before - Lisa Schroeder
Ordinary Beauty - Laura Wiess
He's So Not Worth It - Kieran Scott
All the Things You Are - Courtney Sheinmel

For Review:

She Smells the Dead | Spirit Storm
by E.J. Stevens

Still sticking to my book buying ban, and the book I got from the library was one that was on hold. So I'm still doing good! I couldn't resist the Galley Grab books though. BLOOD RED ROAD!!




As many of you know, some deadly storms and tornadoes hit the South on Wednesday of this week. Thankfully I was spared, but the destruction is all around me. (TN, AL, GA, MS, AK)  It's heartbreaking and these states need all the help they can get. If you would like to help, please check out the
American Red Cross Donation Page.

You can also donate to the Red Cross Disaster Relief by texting REDCROSS to 90999 to give $10 to help our disaster relief activities across U.S. Thank you!!


So what's in your mailbox this week?? Leave a comment with you link so I can check out your awesome posts!

  6. I read Forbidden close to a year ago. The writing is great, but it will mess with your mind. You go into it with your views on what's right and wrong and she just turns them around. I still think about it to this day. Can't wait to see what you think about it.

    Glad you're OK. It's scary to think that things like this are happening more and more frequently.

  17. Great books! I can't wait to read Blood Red Road and The Day Before. I didn't know you lived down that way. I'm glad you are okay. Yes, the devastation is awful! I can't believe how big the tornado was.

    On a brighter note...I hope you enjoy your books :)
