In My Shopping Bag (76)

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 this week....

Review

The Journals of Myrth, Book 1:  How to Slay a Dragon by Bill Allen

(Review edition courtesy of Belle Books)

As soon as this one arrived, I had to delve in....and have already finished it.  Hehe.  Allow me to say that it is a grand adventure with a lot of word play that will have you in stitches....the good kind that is.

Dark Eden by Patrick Carman

(ARC courtesy of Sandee at HarperCollins)

If the cover doesn't look creepy enough and the title doesn't grab you, you should at the very least recognize the author's name.  It's the writer behind the Skeleton Creek books....so of course this adventure is going to have that interactive aspect (as in online connects...and apparantly apps according to the material) he's known for.  Scheduled release looks like November 1st...can't wait to see what this adventure holds.

Received

from my good friend Nayuleska

Wither by J.G. Passarella

Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins

The Twilight Saga:  The Official Illustrated Guide by Stepenie Meyers

The first came as a suggested read from my good bloggy friend Petty Witter....the second, well we've ALL heard the great things about this one, can't wait....the third, well...I HAD to get this one.  ^_^

Theodosia and the Serpents of Chaos by R.L. Lafevers

I Am Number Four by Pittacus Lore

The first is book one of a series and as I love her Nathaniel Fludd books, I thought I'd give this one a try; looks promising.  The second, I just saw the movie this weekend so its arrival is pretty well timed.

The Grim Legacy by Polly Shulman

Selected this one based off a suggested read post from Bri over at BriMeetsBooks.  I must say, it DOES sound good.

Won

 

Say Hello to Zorro! by Carter Goodrich

(Won via contest from Shelf-Awareness' Author Buzz and Simon & Schuster)

A SIGNED copy from the author and characters!  How cool is that?  Pretty cool if I do say so myself.  Very excited to read this adorable...I mean "intimidating" looking book (with the two adorable cuties on the front!). ^_^

That's it for this week (well, and last...had to tend to the earth Week goodness last time around so we skipped this post).

What did you get?

Do tell!

Until next time...happy reading!
