In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by The Story Siren. Since I significantly improved on my reading stack (meaning I'm down to around 60, when I was at way over 100 before), I'm going to temporarily suspend my book-buying ban.

In My Mailbox (10)

In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by The Story Siren. Before I get to the actual book-related part of this post, I wanted to say that I love In My Mailbox, and I'm totally supportive of Kristi at the Story Siren about it. I know there's been some controversy surrounding it lately, since an author apparently said it was just for bragging. I just wanted to share that I think In My Mailbox is a great meme and a wonderful way to not only share what I've gotten, but what my fellow bloggers have gotten. I never intended to brag about the books I've gotten (they tend to be few and far-between anyways) and I think that it's simply a great way to share book lovers' enthusiasm over borrowing/buying/getting new or old books. I hope most people realize that it's just a way of gushing about the books we have the privilege of reading, and not an arrogant or bragging post in any ways. Even more than any of that, it's a great way to promote authors and give their books recognition that might have been overlooked. I know that's why Kristi started IMM and I know that's why she continues to do it.
Sorry for that long paragraph. Onto the actual books:

Bought:

Cryer's Cross by Lisa McMann

Fire by Kirsten Cashore

Borrowed from Library:

Saving Francesca by Melina Marchetta

The Summer I Turned Pretty by Jenny Han

Library trips are always the greatest. And so far I've kept up with my book-buying ban (since my only purchases were before i started it). Sorry for the multiple pictures. I was lucky my camera wasn't too moody for ever the more blurry, up-close pics. Make sure to leave links in the comments so I can check out y'alls' IMM posts. Happy reading!
