In My Mailbox (58)

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


Never Eighteen by Megan Bostic
*Thanks to Teen Book Scene!

Bought


The Tiger's Wife by Tea Obreht
*Reading this one for book club. Good so far.


A Royal Match by Tyne O'Connell
*Saw this on Amazon for only $1.30. I couldn't resist!

Library Stash


The Daughters Join the Party (Daughters #4) by Joanna Philbin
*Already read. Adorable as all the books are in this series.

CD Stash


Ceremonials by Florence and the Machine
*Love this!

    Nice! I have the first book in The Daughters series, since I have seen from a few blogs that it's really cute, so I thought I'd give it a try. Haven't read it just yet, though.

    Here's my latest mailbox!

    My daughter ADORES The Daughters books. They are her favorite! I thought Never Eighteen was so good, but keep the tissues handy! Great IMM.

    Great Mailbox! I haven't read the books by Joanna Philbin. Might give them a try.
    Love Florence and the Machine. Sometimes I don't like the songs I hear at first and then the more they play, the more they grow on me. I think I have to be in a quiet place to understand her music. But I love it!

    I'm a bit jealous of ALL your books. Never Eighteen and Tiger's Wife look especially good.

    (And at $1.30? I just ran and got A Royal Match too!!)

    The premise for Never Eighteen makes me so sad. I don't think that is one I could get through without a box of tissues.

    Hope you enjoy.

    Thanks for the reminder that I wanted to put Florence's CD on my Xmas list. Also, I want to wear those dresses on that book cover. Wouldn't that be fun to go to a party all glammed up?
