In My Mailbox (January)
In My Mailbox is hosted by The Story Siren. Join in and link up! I don’t get enough books to participate on a weekly basis, so I’m going to share highlights of the books I get for review, buy, or check out from the library. I may not read all of these (for various reasons) but I still want to share what comes my way!
All links go to the book’s page on Goodreads.

I have heard great things about Grave Mercy and I really want to read Etiquette and Espionage!
Great haul!
Pivot point looks amazing!
I’m curious about Quiet and have it in my audible wishlist. I know I’ll definitely be looking forward to your review.
I’ve heard Taken is fantastic.
Happy reading
I have a major backlog on reviews right now, so it may be some time before the review posts…so I’ll go ahead and tell you it’s amazing, especially if you are an introvert. My extroverted girlfriend liked it, too, but thought it was a little critical of extroverts overall.
Currently reading Taken, and it’s definitely a twisty-turny one!
I’m very excited to read Transparent; looking forward to your review!
thanks for Sharing!
I have Grave Mercy from audible too and am looking forward to checking it out. Jenny Lawson’s audio is a funny one. Can’t wait to read Etiquette & Espionage!
Happy reading and listening
I was so afraid Etiquette & Espionage was going to get denied on Edelweiss. It took them like a month to give me access to the book. I’m SO EXCITED.
Wow, great books! Read Delirium soon.
I had checked Delirium out from the library, so I bought this copy for my shelf. I can’t wait to have all three next to each other on the shelf!
Oh yes! I actually only have ebook copies of the first two books, but I’m waiting for the release of Requiem so I can purchase all three of them and have them on my bookshelf. Yeah, can’t wait!
thanx for refering……heartly thanking you …….keep going

I loved them all.
i have to say, i MISS reading for pleasure and your blog is motivating me to finish up my class early so that I have a 2 week break to read for fun! Since I read so much for school, I really haven’t had the desire to dive into a “good book” when I am not studying for an assignment. Now I am rethinking this!
