In My Mailbox

Hello everyone! I've gotten some books over the past few weeks that I didn't get a chance to share with you yet so I thought I'd do a quick IMM (a weekly meme hosted by The Story Siren) to show you guys! 

Nevermore by James Patterson

 Actually got this one a few weeks ago from the library. I looooved it. Stay tuned for my review this weekend! 

Soul Control by C. Elizabeth

Got this for review from the author through the lovely Angelica @ Paperback Princess. I'm excited!

The Horse Boy by Rupert Isaacson

My friend lent this one to me after being really inspired. It's sounds amazing! 

Frankenstein by Mary Shelley

Yes, I will be reading a classic. My mother bought this for me thinking it was high time. I'll see. There must be a reason it's so famous! 

Biography of Harry Houdini by Rita Mullin

Another one of my mom's picks. She's a reader of histories and biographies and she bought this for me hoping I'd read something she considers worthy for once. Hey, I'm all for giving it a try:) 

Aaaaand that's it! I look forward to reading all of these- five different genres in one post! I'm impressed with myself! (top to bottom- middle grade, YA, autobiography/documentary, classic, biography.) What  will you be reading?

IMM

In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by Kristi at The Story Siren. This week, I received: 

    

The Host by Stephanie Meyer

Extras by Scott Westerfeld

The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R Tolkien 

Gathering Blue by Lois Lowry

*Not Pictured* Bossypants by Tina Fey

I can't wait cuz I absolutely LOVE the Uglies series and I've been looking forward to reading the last installment for awhile now! The Giver and Messenger were great and thought-provoking, too, so I have high expectations for Gathering Blue. As for the Lord of the Rings, well, how can I be a self proclaimed bookworm without giving them a try? Just read the Hobbit (FYI, BEFORE I knew there was going to be a movie) and it was good but slow (written over 60 years ago, so what you gonna do?). The Host- Oh come on, you gotta admit the with all Bella's flaws, Stephanie Meyer is an amazing writer. I've heard only positive reviews on this book so I can't wait to see for myself. I also received Bossypants by Tina Fey but chose not to show the cover because yes, I'm petty, and yes, the cover kinda creeps me out (I pulled of the jacket of the copy). My friend gave it to me and said it was really funny and from what I've read so far it is. Anyway, I'm really behind on reviews hopefully will catch up this weekend! Happy New Year everyone! And does anyone know of a 2013 readers challenge going on?
