In My Mailbox #28

** 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. **


For Review:
Vanish - Sophie Jordan
Sweet Venom - Tera Lynn Childs
(books above courtesy of Chelsy at Big Honcho Media)
The Pledge - Kimberly Derting
(via Galley Grab! Thanks Liz!)

I got three awesome books in my mailbox this week, and I'm so excited for them all! I'm trying to take it easy on new books, as my to-read list is pretty huge at the moment. September is going to be a busy book month, and I have lots to read!

What did you get in your mailbox this week? Leave a link so I can check it out!

    All three books look awesome! I did have The Pledge in ebook, but I decided to wait just because I'm trying to cut down on my ebooks until I get my own ereader. Great IMM!

    Ooh Sweet Venom! Lucky you, it looks great, doesn't it? And I shamefully still haven't read Firelight, but hope you enjoy Vanish. Glad you managed to get The Pledge - I can't wait to start it! Happy reading :)

    Wow! You can get your Galley Grabs on your e-reader? I have a Kindle and haven't been able to figure out how to do that. :(

    Can't wait to get my hands on Sweet Venom! Hope you enjoy. :)

    YAY The Pledge (I managed to get the link for that one too). I am excited to see what you think of Sweet Venom. Sept is crazy. I seriously don't think I could review one more book that month, my schedule is packed. Great week for you!

    OOh you got lots of great stuff! Read Vanish already, but would have loved to have had a papercopy of it! Want Sweet Venom and The Pledge too, but it wasn't in my Galley Grab this month! :(

    Happy Reading!

    Vanish!! Sweet Venom!! The Pledge!! So, you don't mind if I just swipe all these, do you? I got The Pledge last week, but not the shiny, pretty ereader which the book so desperately needs because it's not looking so hot sitting on my computer.

    Awesome haul! Really excited for Vanish since I loved Firelight. I hope you enjoy all these :D
