In My Mailbox - July 26th

In My Mailbox is hosted by the wonderful Kristi at The Story Siren.

This week I got a ton of books! Which is good, but I have so many books to read! Gah!!!!


The first book I received was from Word For Teens. I won her contest for Suite Scarlett by Maureen Johnson. Check out her awesome blog for more contests, reviews and whatnot! :)





Then, I got this box... with... Ballads of Suburbia taffy! I really want to read Ballads of Suburbia by Stephanie Kuehnert. Taffy Tree made this wonderful bag of goodness and I even got a little bag of Independence Day taffy.

You can get your own Ballads of Suburbia taffy here!



And now... didn't think this box would come this week, but here it is:


I won this box of goodies from Class of 2K9: Debut Middle Grade and Young Adult Authors.

And here are the 12 books inside the box:
My Big Nose and Other Natural Disasters by Sydney Salter (ARC)
Breathing by Cheryl Renee Herbsman (signed)
Bull Rider by Suzanne Morgan Williams
Give Up the Ghost by Megan Crewe (ARC, signed)
Also Known as Harper by Ann Haywood Leal (ARC)
Initiation by Susan Fine (signed)
Jane in Bloom by Deborah Lytton (signed)
Operation Redwood by S. Terrell French
Shrinking Violet by Danielle Joseph
The Year the Swallows Came Early by Kathryn Fitzmaurice (signed)
Watersmeet by Ellen Jensen Abbott (ARC)
When the Whistle Blows by Fran Cannon Slayton (ARC)

Add those to my already huge 100+ pile of books to read.. yeah, I have my reading for the rest of the year!

And that is why I have not been to the library except to get movies. I'm forcing my fiance to watch Twilight with me this weekend, so he'll see New Moon with me when it comes out. The friend I went to see Twilight with moved to Washington, so she won't be available to see New Moon with me. Kudos to my awesome fiance for letting me force him into watching these!

Let me know what you guys got this week!
