In My Mailbox is a weekly event hosted by Kristi over at The Story Siren. Here we can share what new books we’ve picked up this past week.
You guys, I’m on vacation! 9 full days off (well, 8 now) until I have to be back at work. And I plan on doing lots of reading while I’m off from work. Here’s what I picked up this week from the library:
Pretty Crooked by Elisa Ludwig
I’ve been wanting to read this one forever.
Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli
Another one I’ve been meaning to read for age!
The Ghost and the Goth by Stacey Kade
Honestly, I think the cover and title are kind of cheesy, but I’ve this series floating around the blogosphere, so I thought I would give it a try
Going Bovine by Libba Bray
I picked up the audiobook of this one.
Dairy Queen by Catherine Gilbert Murdock
Another audiobook.
That’s it for me. What books did you pick up this week?

Great haul! I absolutely adore Libba Bray’s work and Going Bovine is sitting on my TBR shelf also. Maybe one day I will get to it, but man that books is huge! I have some great things about Elisa Ludwig, so I will have to check her out. Enjoy all of your new books! Happy Sunday!

Great stack of books!
Stargirl was my absolute favorite book in high school, and one I still go back to a lot. You’ll love it!
Quinn
I can’t wait to read Stargirl. I think I will read it this week. I can’t believe I haven’t read it yet.

Going Bovine’s cover is really funny. 🙂

Pretty Crooked is a decent read, definitely a good vacation book.
I am extremely jealous of your 8 days off, hahaha.
Quinn
I am so excited to have a full week, plus two more days, off. I was hoping Pretty Crooked would be a good vacation read.

I didn’t enjoy Pretty Crooked like I wanted to, but that’s because I had issues with portions of the plot that really hurt my overall enjoyment. I hope you have better luck! I loved Stargirl, though. 🙂
Enjoy all your books, and Happy Reading!

Thanks for the info. I can’t wait to read Stargirl. I’ve been meaning to read it forever!
Merin
Stargirl was one of those books that I stumbled over while perusing the shelves, and it sounded different, so I gave it a read. I’m so glad I did!
Amanda @ Late Nights with Good Books
I am jealous you’re on vacation. But good thing you have so many books to keep yourself entertained! I’ve heard great things about Stargirl and Going Bovine. Hope you enjoy your books!
Courtney @ Courtney Reads A Lot
Enjoy your vacation! So envious. You’re doing the same thing I’d be doing. Haven’t heard of the first two books, but I’ve heard awesome things about the second two. Enjoy all of your new reads! 😀

I really enjoyed The Ghost and the Goth, I’ll be reading the last book next month for a Halloweenish read. I’ve been wanting to read Pretty Crooked to, looks like a fun read. Enjoy!
