    Awesome books! I can't wait to read Beautiful Darkness and I'll be reading Mockingjay too next week!! =)

  2. Oh, you got some great stuff! I have The Knife of Never Letting Go but I still need to read it. This IMM is reminding me that I ought to. Enjoy your new books!

    . . . a book about pessimism, so it's perfect for my boyfriend . . .

    LOL!!! You two must have really interesting conversations.

    PS–I'm the same way about my series books. Sometimes I will compromise by having paperbacks of different editions–but only if they are also the same size.

    PPS–Great vlog! I should do my next "Mailbox" post like this.

  4. Nice stash! Liked your vlog and I have Beautiful Creatures too.

    Enjoy the read and have a great week!

    Great mailbox week. I have Beautiful Darkness on my wishlist. Enjoy! I love when I forget about a preorder and it arrives, it makes me so happy!

  6. You had some nice books in your mailbox. I want to read the Bryson book. Have a great week!

  7. I really enjoyed Middlesex. It's a great book.

  8. Ah! Lucky! You got Radiance! I've been curious about Beautiful Darkness and the first book in that series since I'm seeing it everywhere!

    Happy reading!

    My mailbox is here!

    April, what did you think of The Secret Year?

  12. Laura @ I'm Booking It says

    I guess I should get my BEA copy of Beautiful Darkness out soon, I'm looking forward to reading it!

    I hope you like Mockingjay (I'll be reading it Tuesday!) and Middlesex (which I enjoyed last year).

    I haven't read The Hunger Games and Catching Fire yet, but my husband has and he's chomping at the bit to get his hands on Mockingjay. I know what he'll be doing Tuesday night. I read My Darling, My Hamburger years ago and liked it a lot.

  14. TheBookGirl says

    You do have a big week of reading planned…Middlesex has been on my bookshelf for years now…maybe I will actually get around to it someday 🙂
    Hope you enjoy your books!
