Happy reading!

In My Mailbox - July 2011

IMM is a weekly (though I do it monthly) meme hosted by The Story Siren where bloggers share which books they've received. Since I'm not a book blogger/reviewer I don't get ARCs or anything, but I still like to document which books I've bought (which is usually quite a lot) :)

This month I got:

John Adams by David McCullough (summer reading for my AP history class next school year. It's over 600 pages so I should start reading it soon . . .)

Cannery Row by John Steinbeck (read it for English and really liked it! I definitely want to read more Steinbeck.)

Player Piano by Kurt Vonnegut (another book eligible for my English summer reading; I'm not sure which I'm going to write the paper on yet.)

Forever (The Wolves of Mercy Falls #3) by Maggie Stiefvater (an amazing ending to the series. If you haven't read it you MUST. Also: Cole St. Clair is the most amazing character ever and I would totally marry him.)


That Summer by Sarah Dessen (bought at the signing. It was wonderful, like all of Sarah's books, but I could definitely tell it was her first, meaning that it wasn't as detailed or smooth as her later works.)


Keeping the Moon by Sarah Dessen (also bought at the signing. Absolutely loved this one. And the main character shares my name!)


The Mockingbirds (The Mockingbirds #1) by Daisy Whitney (I've already talked about this one in the last post and it was so good!)

The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald (Haven't read this one yet, but hope to get to it soon!)

Sorry the quality of the picture's so crappy :( I lost my camera and won't be getting a new one till my b-day in Sept. This was taken with my icky phone one.

Happy reading!
