What did you get in your mailbox this week?
Ohhhh, you got Broetry, yay!!!!! I hope you like it as much as I did.
ReplyDeleteAwesome mailbox this week. The Outsiders is my all-time favorite novel. Speak is amazing, of course, as is Shel Silverstein, and The Goddess Test was also really good. Happy reading!
Yeah, not long after I commented on your review, Eric from Quirk Books emailed me and asked me if I'd like a review copy. Well, duh! :) Can't wait to read it!
ReplyDeleteAwesome mailbox!! I loved The Goddess Test! I love your signed copy! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteYou got a ton of books this week. This is crazy. I have a few weeks like this and a know one is coming soon because August is my birthday month - a great excuse to go overboard.
ReplyDeleteI've not heard of Broetry before, but it is going on my wishlist. It sounds exactly like something I would like to read.
Have fun on your trip and safe travels.

Great set! Congrats on the signed Goddess Test. I really enjoyed that book. I've always wanted to read Al Capone Does My Shorts too.

I love The Hatchet. It was one of my favorite books growing up. The Outsiders too.
ReplyDeleteGreat book haul! I love your signed copy of The Goddess Test! I really enjoyed that one and I hope you do, too!
ReplyDeleteHappy reading (and listening!)!
Three of my favorite audiobooks in your loot! After Tupac, Ship Breaker, and Dairy Queen (which I just finished!). Enjoy those!
