Morning everyone!
A few posts ahead for the day including the winners of the two contests that ended over the weekend, and a book review, but first.....
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)
Let's take a peek inside my shopping bag from this past week....

For Review
Matched by Ally Condie
(courtesy of Dutton Books/Penguin Group)
Recognize this one? Probably not from the cover at least...picture a girl in a green dress trapped in a bubble of sorts...ring a bell now? Thought so. Cover change or not, I couldn't resist looking inside this one...and quickly read the first two chapters. So far, so good! Release date is listed as 11/30/10 currently.

Nice, nice! I haven't read any of those books yet, but I've really been wanting to get my hands on Matched. I didn't recognize it at first with that cover! Enjoy your books.
Nice!
I'm green again ;)
Nice collection of books! Matched is one of the few books I regret not picking up at BEA when I had the chance, but was soooo tired when I saw it and just wanted to get home. Now I have to wait until it's released. :(
Looking forward to your reviews! Happy reading!
Great week this week!
Emidy: Yes, the "new"cover was unexpected, but the story is SO good...
Juju: hehe...doen't happen that often. ^_^
Alexia561: GASP! You didn't pick up MATCHED? *whacks you (gently) witha book* Silly girl...but I suppose your cart load of BEA bookish goodies will have to due til then. ^_^
