In My Mailbox (28)

In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by The Story Siren.  The books you share do not have to be ones you actually received in the mail.  They can be ones you bought at the book store, checked out at the library, or downloaded to your e-reader.  The idea is just to share what's on your TBR pile for the upcoming week.

For review from Harper Children's Audio:

The Last Little Blue Envelope by Maureen Johnson

Thanks to Berkley Publishing Group for sending me a finished copy of

A Pug's Tale by Alison Pace
I will be posting my review of this book very soon as well as an interview with Alison. This book was even better than Pug Hill!

Won: 
 
You Remind Me of You by Eireann Corrigan

Free e-book:

Songs for a Teenage Nomad by Kim Culbertson
 You can get this book free on your Nook or Kindle right now!

Library Loot:
Audiobooks:
 
The Astonishing Life of Octavian Nothing Traitor to the Nation Volume I: The Pox Party by M.T. Anderson
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
Can you believe I haven't read this book yet? There are so many modern retellings out there that I figured I need to read the original to really appreciate the retellings. My goal is to get schooled in more classic literature this summer.

Picture books:
  
Stop Snoring Bernard! by Zachariah O'hora
Moi and Marie Antoinette by Lynn Cullen, illustrated by Amy young

Huck Runs Amuck! by Sean Taylor, illustrations by Peter H. Reynolds
Little Chicken's Big Day by Katie and Jerry Davis

Purchased:
 
The Latte Rebellion by Sarah Jamila Stevenson
The Time-Traveling Fashionista by Bianca Turetsky
OMG! the illustrations in this book are GORGEOUS!!!! This was an impulse buy that's for sure! I was seduced by the loveliness between the covers!


You Had Me at Woof: How Dogs Taught Me The Secrets of Happiness by Julie Klam
I bought this book because the adorably awkward Boston Terrier on the cover reminds me so much of my pug Guenter:
