In My Mailbox (8) - an exciting one in my book blogger "career"!

In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by Kristi at The Story Siren, meant to spotlight the books we've acquired this week (via library, purchase, review, etc).

YOU GUYS. This week was HUGE for me!  Not only did I get some pretty phenomenal books from my library that I'm incredibly excited for, but I was gifted one from a generous book blogger that I have been waiting for so impatiently.  AND: I received my first ever copies for review!

Library

Saving June - Hannah Harrington

Scored - Lauren McLaughlin

The Way We Fall - Megan Crewe

The Survival Kit - Donna Freitas

Winter Town - Stephen Emond

Chopsticks - Jessica Anthony & Rodrigo Corral

Purchased

I didn't mean to purchase any books this week, but I stumbled on this at Target and saw the price tag:

I Am Number Four - Pittacus Lore

A hardcover for less than $5?! How could I pass that up?? 

It almost makes it ok that it's a movie cover (almost...)

Review (!!!!)

From Publisher:

Yes, Chef - Marcus Samuelsson (thank you Erika @ Random House!)

Even though I generally don't read memoirs, I've said before I will if I happen to love the person - and I love Marcus Samuelsson! Food Network is a staple on my TV (watching now! Anyone seen Sweet Genius? I can't figure out if I like the series or not...), as are food-related shows, and I've loved Chef Samuelsson since the first day I saw him on Top Chef Masters. His story has always been fascinating to me, and I'm so excited to read more in depth about his life!

From NetGalley:

Wanderlove - Kirsten Hubbard (thanks Delacourte/Random House!)

I've heard such wonderful things about this book, I'm so excited!

Gifted/Won

I AM SO FREAKING OUT ABOUT THIS GUYS. If you saw my WoW this week, you know why.

Gilt - Katherine Longshore

My every thanks to James at BookChicClub for gifting me his ARC!
(Gifted/Won, to be more accurate - I happen to be on Twitter at the right time when he tweeted to give them away. Yay for right place at the right time!)

So yes, a fabulous week for me - I have so much good stuff I hardly know where to start!
(except not really, I'm simultaneously reading Wanderlove, Gilt and Winter Town alongside the 2 others I'm still on from last week...)
