In My Mailbox (81)

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
Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs
(courtesy of Eric at Quirk Books)
I'll tell you what, this IS one PECULIAR book indeed!  I love the writing style used, you really get into the mind of our young guide and the story keeps you guessing.  Did I mention the photographs included in the book?  Think more along the lines of an adultish version of "The Jolly Postman"....trust me, loads of "fun" and I'm only halfway through!




Stay by Allie Larkin

This was an unexpected arrival on my door but...awww, look how cute the little guy is?!?!  Can't wait to see what this charming story will hold.  Scheduled paperback release is set for July 26th, 2011.



The Gift of Illusion by Richard Brown
(courtesy of the author)
A paranormal thriller...hmmm....from the site description, sounds good...potentially creepy, but good.  Review to come this August.  Stay tuned for more and in the mean time, feel free to check out the author's site.

  2. Nice shopping bag! I'm curious about the Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children book. Think the old pictures would be awesome, but still not sure about the story. Will keep an eye out for your review. Enjoy!

    Odd fact: I've been craving Christmas books for some reason.
