In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by Kristi at The Story Siren.
Through her guidelines, your post does not actually have to be named the same and thus my post shall be..."In My Shopping Bag". (just fits with the "foodie" theme a bit better in my humble opinion)
Though this post is usually seen on a Sunday, alas...I was not able to post it this weekend. Fortunately, the use of this post does not dictate a mandatory posting day and so I give you today's feature.
Let's take a peek inside my shopping bag from this past week....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
REVIEW
The Toadhouse Trilogy (Book 1) by Jess Lourey
Released: August 1st
(courtesy of the author)
The delivery of this one included your usual promo information but also three glow in the dark neon bracelets...wonder if I'll need them when reading this one.... *-* Review coming later this year...
The Not So Wicked, Wicked Witch! by Amy Carter
(courtesy of the author)
Love the delivery on this one, as in the actual package contents...came with a pink boa that matches the "witch" shown on the cover! Review coming this October...

Lovely cover, is it not? What would you do if you only had twelve months left in your life? Good question and a literary journey I'll be taking later this year...

I will say I love the cover of the Toadhouse trilogy. :) Do hope you enjoy them all.
Cute penguin! I want to know what his power is.
I can't wait to hear about Tyler's book.
Penguin's Hidden Talent looks super cute.
You got tons of books this week and somehow the only one I've heard of before is WICKED. Much investigation to be done.
Happy reading!
"Twelve Months" was good.
