In My Mailbox (15)

In My Mailbox in which I go on a buying-book spree and borrowing spree. This fabulous idea was started by the amazing The Story Siren and she was inspired by wonderful Alea.

I did not get any books in the mail but some fab bookmarks from Megan Crewe. =) First two people to leave a comment saying they want a Giving Up The Ghost bookmark will receive a bookmark or two! =)

From the bookstore:

Twenty Boy Summer by Sarah Ockler
Oh my god finally! I waited for soooo long for this book. Trying to finish it before Tuesday.

Along for the Ride by Sarah Dessen
This is my second Sarah Dessen book. Hopefully I’ll love it.

Knife by R.J. Anderson
Got this for Sharon who I stalk her videos on the SevenBookBabes channel!

Wicked Lovely by Melissa Marr
Been wanting to try this series for a while now, especially after seeing the amazing trailer for Fragile Eternity.

Charmed Thirds by Megan McCafferty
I discovered a entire row of bargain books at Borders one day. Not much YA books sadly but I did get Charmed Thirds for only $5!

From the library (no pictures this week because I’m running out of time but might edit it later):

Silver Phoenix by Cindy Pon
I was very excited for this one. Yay Cindy and all the food!

Love You Hate You Miss You by Elizabeth Scott
I adored the cover, after waiting months for it to come out, I finally read it. LYHYMY was very emotional..

Fairest of Them All by Jan Blazanin
Interesting story. Quite liked it.

Country Girl, City Girl by Lisa Jahn-Cloug

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
I want to see what is so good about this book.

So this is my great week. I have quite a lot of reading to do. Let me know what you think of the books. I’ve already read LYHYMY and it’s awesome. Might do a review of it soon!

So Not Happening by Jenny B. Jones

Bella Kirkwood had it all: A-list friends at her prestigious private school, Broadway in her backyard, and Daddy’s MasterCard in her wallet. Then her father, a plastic surgeon to the stars, decided to trade her mother in for a newer model.
When Bella’s mom falls in love with a man she met on the Internet–a factory worker with two bratty sons–Bella has to pack up and move in with her new family in Truman, Oklahoma. On a farm no less!
Forced to trade her uber-trendy NYC lifestyle for her down-home charm, Bella feels like a pair of Rock & Republic jeans in a sea of Wranglers.
At least some of the people in her new high school are pretty cool. Especially the hunky football player who invites her to lunch. And maybe even the annoying–but kinda hot–editor of the school newspaper.
But before long, Bella smells something rotten in the town of Truman, and it’s not just the cow pasture. With her savvy reporter’s instincts, she is determined to find the story behind all the secrets.

Oh how I loved this book! Jenny B. Jones has written a wonderful novel perfectly captured from a city girl’s point of view. Bella is such a witty, smart and irresistible character. You will love Bella’s hilarious insights on farm life. So Not Happening had me laughing out loud the whole time! The mystery in the book got me hooked and will keep readers turning the pages! For someone who everyone assumes is a “spoiled brat”, Bella sure proved them all wrong by ultimately becoming the heroine.

The Charmed Life series is definitely one series I will be buying more of in future. I am very glad that I bought this book, now I can’t wait for the next book I’m So Sure to be out in November. The cover is so cute and there’s another mystery too. Can you say awesome? In the mean time, get your copy of So Not Happening if you haven’t!

Gold star!
