So I used to do a ‘in my mailbox’ post on my old blog, but I haven’t really been keeping up with this for quite some time. Chelsey recommended that I try it again, so here I am writing to let you know the books I got this week! ๐
As you might already know, the books that I read are from the library or ones that friends lend me. I don’t buy many books. So unfortunately, the books that will be featured in this post won’t literally be coming in my mailbox. But that I think that’s sort of the point, no?
With that being said, the first book that I’m going to be talking about didย come in my mailbox, as a matter of fact! I joined an online community a couple weeks ago called Razorbillย which is a Goodreads type community pioneered by Penguin Group.
They have lots of giveaways going on, so I entered some and yesterday received a free copy of The Future of Usย in my mailbox!
I can’t wait to read this one, even though I’ve never read either author’s work before. But I am intrigued by ideas of time travel, especially when it has to do with technology. Thanks Razorbill!
The second title that I finallyย got from the library this week was The Night Circus, which received a lot of hoopla last year (yes, I’m a year late >_<). I’ve heard some good reviews and some bad reviews of this one, so I’m ready to see how I feel about it. Its been hyped up a lot, so I’m gearing myself up for disappointment as a default emotion.
So that’s it! Yup, its a pretty slow book week, but I did also get The Takerย from the library, but already gobbled it up and reviewed it.
Thanks for reading.
‘Till next time,

Woohoo! You had a fantastic book week! That’s so exciting that you won something from Razorbill! I have heard such fantastic things about Jay Asher so I look forward to seeing what you think. Also, I have the Night Circus staring at me from my shelf but have yet to pick it up. I will ALSO stay tuned for your thoughts on that one! It sounds magical =) and I’m a sucker for magic.
I’m so happy you decided to start the IMM posts! Yay!
Yay!! I hope you enjoy The Future of Us! I haven’t read it yet but it looks great! And The Night Circus is also on my shelf waiting to be read ๐
