In My Mailbox (#16)

In My Mailbox is a weekly meme that talks about books that have been bought, swapped, received for review, or borrowed from the library. It is hosted by Kristy at The Story Siren.

This week I made a quick trip to the library to return a few things, and of course, checked the shelves of the YA section while I was there. I grabbed these:

Sleepless – Cynn Balog
Accomplice – Eireann Corrigan
Pretty Little Liars – Sara Shepard
Spotting For Nellie – Pamela Lowell
Virals - Kathy Reichs

Deja Dead – Kathy Reichs (This is not YA, but after grabbing Virals, I thought I'd check her other fiction too, since "Bones" is my new TV addiction. This is the first in the series.)

If you're stopping by to read this, please read my Help! post from earlier today. I'd love the feedback!

This week, I got a few great things at the library to stock up for Thanksgiving break next week. I’m really looking forward to actually having time to read a few books!

Some YA fiction from the “new” shelf at the library:

She's So Dead To Us – Kieran Scott
Raised by Wolves – Jennifer Lynn Barnes
Three Black Swans – Caroline B. Cooney Fat Vampire: A Never Coming of Age Story – Adam Rex
Need – Carrie Jones
Captivate – Carrie Jones

Geektastic: Stories from the Nerd Herd – Holly Black
Nailed – Patrick Jones
Cheated – Patrick Jones

A loaned book from my sister-in-law:
Dead Until Dark – Charlaine Harris

And a few things to feed my Constitution/civics "thing":
America's Constitution: A Biography – Akhil Reed Amar
Greeks and Romans Bearing Gifts: How the Ancients Inspired the Founding Fathers – Carl J. Richard

What did you get this week?

This week, I got a few new things...mostly from a trip to Half Price Books.

I Am America (and So Can You) - Stephen Colbert

Pirates - Celia Rees

Uglies - Scott Westerfeld

(All three books were in fabulous condition, like they'd never been read.)

I also (finally) got Mockingjay (Suzanne Collins) from the library. I've been on the hold list forever, and it finally came in! So far, it is FANTASTIC! :)

In non-book news, I got productive this weekend and put copies of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution in frames to hang in my classroom. (Teaching civics & Constitutional history is my "thing," so I was pretty excited about how they turned out.)

That sums up my week in books...what was yours like?
