In My Mailbox (53)

In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by The Story Siren.

I'm Alison (on the off chance you couldn't guess that from the name of my blog). I review Young Adult novels with a few Middle Grade books and a weekly manga feature.

For Review


The Miseducation of Cameron Post by Emily M. Danforth
*Thanks to Teen Book Scene!

Bought


The Twilight Graphic Novel vol. 2 by Stephenie Meyer


*I read this as an ARC but I wanted to buy a finished copy.

*It's been quite a week! The library had Beautiful Chaos and Scorpio Races waiting for me on the day they were released!


Beautiful Chaos by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl


Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater


Bunheads by Sophie Flack


Supernaturally by Kiersten White


The Faerie Ring by Kiki Hamilton
