In My {Huge-ish} Mailbox #33

** 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:
Dark Eden - Patrick Carman
(Courtesy Harper Collins!)

Bought:
Forgotten - Cat Patrick
Matched - Ally Condie
Enthralled - Various Authors

All of the above books I have already read, but didn't have in my collection yet. My local Books-A-Million is going out of sale, and I managed to snag all these books for between 2-4 dollars a piece after all the discounts!

Anna and the French Kiss - Stephanie Perkins
Crescendo - Becca Fitzpatrick
Blood Promise - Richelle Mead
Clockwork Angel - Cassandra Clare
Shade - Jeri Smith Ready
White Cat - Holly Black

Library Books:

My library got in lots of great new books that I haven't read yet! I definitely went a little overboard, but snagged some great ones!

The Near Witch - Victoria Schwab
Bad Taste in Boys - Carrie Harris
Steel - Carrie Vaughn
The Iron Witch - Karen Mahoney
Blood Magic - Tessa Gratton
The Faerie Ring - Kiki Hamilton


Lots of great books in my mailbox this week! As I mentioned above, my local Books-A-Million is closing, and the they had lots of books on sale this week. I really lucked out with the clearance books, they were so cheap! I'm really looking forward to reading all my new books and library books! :)

What's in your mailbox this week???

    Wow! Lots of books! How on earth does your library already have The Faerie Ring? It doesn't come out until Tuesday.

    You should check your copy of Clockwork Angel. I got mine from BAM's clearance section and wound up getting a signed copy! You never know. :-)

    I got Enthralled too! How pretty is the paperback version of Matched. I never wanted to read that book, but it is so pretty looking that I might have too! I hope that you enjoy your new books.

    Um, is it wrong of me to be jealous that you have an amazing library? Because I'm freaking jealous of that library haul...OK I've read and loved The Near Witch! But all the others, that's great I hope you enjoy!

    Such fabulous, fabulous books this week! And I really love the paperback version of Matched, the green just seems so much more vivid. So many books that I've been meaning to read like Forgotten and some that I'm waiting for like The Faerie Ring. I might have to check my local indie, they sometimes put them out early. :)

    I am especially envious of the books you got on sale. I just visited the Borders Warehouse sale here in Singapore - and the books are still a tad expensive compared to what you have there.

    Enjoy your loot.

    I still need to read my NG copy of DARK EDEN. I enjoyed FORGOTTEN but forgot (er, no pun intended...) to review it. Have you read MATCHED before, or will this be the first time? Oh, it looks like ENTHRALLED is in pb? I thought it was supposed to be coming out in HC...? Great deals! ANNA AND THE FRENCH KISS, yay!! I can't wait for my copy of LOLA & THE BOY NEXT DOOR to arrive in the mail this week!!! I'm lucky enough to have a signed WHITE CAT...albeit in pb...so waiting for Red Glove to come out in pb now! You have gerat library books, too. I looved THE NEAR WITCH so, so much!! I have STEEL but still have to read it!
