In My Mailbox

In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by The Story Siren. It's a post where we share the books we've received this past week for review, borrowed from friends or the library, received as a gift, bought, or received to giveaway.

This is was an awesome week, as yesterday I worked at the Austin Teen Book Festival and I couldn't help but purchase a few awesome reads. It was a little hard resisting, as I was a panel host for Ellen Hopkins, Jon Skovron, Kenneth Oppel, Charles Benoit and Susane Colasanti. In hearing them talk about their books, I couldn't resist the urge to pick them up. I'll have more about the Austin Teen Book Festival in a different post. I've got some signed swag to giveaway from it!!
