I’m really excited to join Mailbox Monday! When I first started blogging and saw In My Mailbox posts, it seemed so natural to me to post them on Mondays. It was a few weeks before I realized every one put these posts on Saturday which I thought was weird. Mailbox and Monday just seemed to go together for me so I kept my posts on Monday (since I had no desire to blog 7 days a week) and got left out of a lot of the traffic from the linky that was on Sunday. So I’m hoping that now that I’ve found others who post on Monday, I can network and have more fun! And you know what else I love about Mailbox Monday? The host changes every month so it shares the traffic love. Okay, it makes it a little hard to find, but a google search was all I needed to find the main site with the schedule on it. Plus, I made a new badge! Isn’t it cute??? :D It’s like the owl is bringing my mail!
Mailbox Monday is where I show all the books I’ve gotten by various means throughout the week. Mailbox Monday was originally hosted by Marcia from A girl and her books and The Printed Page. This is a touring meme. You can check out the main site for the full schedule. April’s Host is Cindy’s Love of Books and May’s is Martha’s Bookshelf. Since I LOVE book cover art on my kindle, I took my own pictures of the covers of my ebooks.

What did you get in your mailbox this week? Leave a link and I’ll come look!
My name is Jessica. I love to read Young Adult and classic literature. I’ve been a book blogger for six years and I haven’t gotten tired of it yet. I’m a very curious reader. Writing about all the questions and thoughts I had while reading a book is the best hobby ever.
Yay for Mailbox Monday newbies :) It feels more natural to post mailbox finds on Monday to me too. Happy Birthday- looks like your family knows you well to buy you books!
I’ve been meaning to read Hold Me Closer, Necromancer- I love humor in books. And Seraphina has gotten some great reviews too. I have the same edition of the Last Unicorn- well, it’s more my daughter’s.
Happy reading, watching & cooking!
I SO wish I could hug you right now!!! The Last Unicorn is my favorite book, and certainly one of my favorite animated movies. You have GOOD TASTE, lady :-)
I’ve not heard of most of these books, but I _have_ heard wonderful things about Seraphina. I hope you enjoy it, as well as the rest of your lovelies.
I was also previously participating in IMM, but ultimately decided to do my own thing. Thus, Mission: Acquired begins! ;-)

I feel so bad as I have never read any of Lowry’s books and I know I should. I will get to see her in NYC at BEA and I am so excited. You had an awesome week and happy belated birthday
Happy Birthday. Great books I’m a Mailbox Monday newb as well. I particularly <3 Hold me, Necromancer and Return to Exile I hope you enjoy all your goodies
Lois Lowry’s books are thought provoking. Welcome to the group!
What an awesome birthday present! You have a great sister-in-law! I love the cover of Seraphina! Enjoy!

I loved The Last Unicorn, too, when I was a kid. Have you ever read the book by Peter S. Beagle? I always thought the red bull was so scary!
I did read the book. I didn’t know the movie was based on the book until I was in high school but I love the book just as much as the movie. The red bull scared me too! :)
Happy Birthday girl! Have fun with your food processor. ;)
Ah, you just made my DAY with that link to MM’s page. :) Thank you! One of the reasons that I hardly ever participated in IMM, is because it was on Sunday. My schedule totally wanted it on Monday, too.
Anyway, great haul! Seraphina sounds so awesome! I love books with dragons, so I’ll have to check it out. Happy reading!
