In My Mailbox is a weekly event hosted by Kristi over at The Story Siren. She uses this time to tell about the books she receives each week either to review, from the library, or from a purchase. Kristi is kind enough to let us all in on her fun and here is my little piece of that!
**********************************************
I'll be back to showing the books I received for review
next time, you guys. But this week is a bit special.

Weekly/Lately Recap:
~Asheley
You had a fabulous week!! I enjoyed Genesis. It's very very different but good! I hope you enjoy all your new books!
ReplyDeleteI'm excited to read Genesis - honestly I haven't heard that much about it!
DeleteAn amazing bunch of books. Where do you start? Dead-Tossed Waves was my favorite in the series. Hope You Love.
ReplyDeleteSo far I've only read the first two books in the series. I haven't read the final book yet. I did love the second more than the first, I think. ;)
DeleteThe Red Pyramid! You KNOW how much I am loving Rick's Percy Jackson series right now! I just want to read all of the books!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you have a fantastic mysterious benefactor!
I KNOW. Rick Riordan writes totally writes for ME as well as middle-grade kids everywhere. The Percy series is one of my favorites but I haven't read the other series yet. So I'm STOKED.
DeleteASHELEY. First of all, your bookish friends are STELLAR. This is a great mailbox! Second of all, and most importantly, I can't wait for you to read The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian. It's so wonderful, and I KNOW you will love it. Junior is THE BOMB.
ReplyDeleteAnd, obviously, The Red Pyramid is so fun because Rick Riordan only KNOWS fun, and Torrent was good, too. It occasionally gets a little religious (I'm pretty sure those books are Christian Fiction), but not too much at all. I don't know your feelings about those things, but the historical fiction parts are AWESOME, and the romance is good, too!
I may have gotten excited a bit when I saw the Sherman Alexie sitting in that box, all nice and pretty. I've heard great things and I'm thinking there are illustrations in that one, no?
DeleteRick Riordan. I die. Fist pumps everywhere, of course.
Interesting what you say about Torrent - I didn't realize that those books were possibly Christian Fiction...I love reading books with religious undertones, so I think you may have moved this series up on my TBR. It was already there, but throw in a bit of religion and I will surely want to read it and see how it is done/handled. I always love that in a book because it is always different and always discussable. And, um, I like romance too! ;)
Oh my goodness, YES! True.Diary is AMAZING. Like, for realz. There are no words.
DeleteWow, that is an amazing collection! I thought my recent aquisitions were a big pile but you've topped mine by a mile! xo
ReplyDeleteI had a great week and I have a wonderful bloggy friend! It is a great collection. It'll take a good while to get thru these.
DeleteWow, what amazing books you got! Hope you enjoy them all! :)

Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteLooks like a full Mailbox! Have fun reading them all!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing,

My IMM - http://paulettespapers.com/?p=1975
It was definitely a full mailbox. :)
DeleteOh goodness, this week you've got one of those massive stacks of awesome that's so overwhelming I don't even know where to start. I really liked both Under the Never Sky and Part-Time Indian, Torment was my least favorite of the Fallen series, but whatever. I really want you to read Tyger Tyger because I think it looks awesome, but haven't seen any reviews! I really want to read Iron Witch too. I hope you enjoy...this should keep you busy for a good long while!
ReplyDeleteUnder the Never Sky is an AWESOME book - I was so squeally to see that one in the box, and signed! WOW what an awesome friend! I've always heard fantastic things about Part-Time Indian and I'm excited to be able to put it on my shelf and read it soon. I've heard mixed things about the Fallen series but I still am intrigued by it. And OH I WANT TO READ TYGER TYGER too because hello! the description looks fun and I never really heard that much around about it either. The cover of Iron Witch is so pretty I could just stare at it. I was also really excited about Vaclav and Lena, can't wait to dive into that one.
DeleteLegit what Amy said. JUNIOR ROCKS. Like, since you are liking contemp you totally NEED TO READ PART TIME INDIAN.
ReplyDeleteOkay, seriously, I am a tiny bit jealous. LOOK AT ALL THOSE BEAUTIFUL BOOKS.
Also? Bookish friends are the best ever. How kind of someone to send you all those books :-)
April, there is NOTHING better than bookish friends. Seriously.
DeleteAnd I'm DYING to meet Junior.
A lot of great titles this week! I'm excited for the final KANE book on the 1st!! Oh, and THE PREDICTEDS! I still need to read that. UNDER THE NEVER SKY, too! Nice that it's signed! Enjoy everything!
ReplyDeleteI know! I was so excited to see the signature on the inside! So awesome! They're all awesome!
DeleteJust want to say: you have such an *awesome* blogger friend! Very cool that you got a signed Under the Never Sky ARC. (Plus all those other books and swag!)
ReplyDeleteHappy reading :)
I think blogger friends are the best! This community is awesome! And I LOVE swag! :)
DeleteThe only one I've read is The Red Pyramid by Rick Riordan. It's a good read but I personally like the Percy Jackson series more. I actually really love Egyptian mythology but some of the things in The Kane Chronicles are just a little too weird or out there for my liking. But it is a great book! It's been a while since I've read The Red Pyramid but I did just read the second book, The Throne of Fire and I did give it 4 out of 5 stars!
ReplyDeleteHappy reading :) I hope you like The Red Pyramid!
My IMM
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Percy Jackson books but I haven't read any of the other Riordan books yet. I've heard similar things about the other series but honestly, Percy Jackson was such a great series I think it's hard to come close to something as great as that! I love mythology, though, so I'm excited to give it a go. ;)
DeleteWOW! Just wow! You have some righteous friends Asheley! Cheers to your secret book pal, that is awesome! Lots of those books are on my TBR list, and a few I haven't yet heard of, but The Sherman Alexie book stands out for me, it's just such a lovely, quiet, somber, yet POWERFUL book. I think you'll love it! And I can't wait to hear your thoughts on The Red Pyramid. I have only read his Percy Jackson series and am always on the lookout for books my son and I can read together! What a great week for us booklovers!
ReplyDeleteIt HAS been a good week for us, Heather. I totally still have that image of your awesome box of greatness in my head too. I've heard so much about the Sherman Alexie book - maybe that should be the first from these stacks that I read. EVERYONE is sort of raving about it. Exciting week, yes!!
DeleteHoly bajeezadoodles! Was it your birthday and I missed it? Because I would feel terrible if I did.
ReplyDeleteThe Dead-Tossed Waves is just as amazing as The Forest of Hands and Teeth <3
Under the Never Sky was fantastic too. I was a little surprised since I'd heard mixed reviews, but I ended up loving it :]
It wasn't my birthday, I just have a great blogger friend. I love the Carrie Ryan series too!
DeleteWhat an awesome friend! That's one excellent gift - I haven't read any of those yet - so many books so little time - but quite a few are books I plan to read. Let us know what you pick up first.
ReplyDeleteExcellent gift indeed, Tanya! I'm not sure which book will be first but I'll be sure to tell everyone!
DeleteWOW!!!! Now that is a mailbox! How lucky you are to have a friend that sends you such fantastic books! I personally adored Under the Never Sky, and I'm a huge Sherrilyn Kenyon fan even though I haven't read her YA series. The Dark Hunters paranormal romance series is fabulous though! Enjoy Asheley!
ReplyDeleteYes, Under the Never Sky was fantastic - I was thrilled to open the box and see it lying there! Complete surprise! I'm excited about The Dark Hunters too!
DeleteHah, wow! You are pretty lucky :) I haven't read any of those, and I'm interested to see your reviews on them. I'm following you on Twitter, so I imagine you'll post the reviews there?
ReplyDeleteI don't have an account with this blog site or else I would just follow this.
Anisa
Hi Anisa! Nice to meet you!
DeleteI DO post the links to my blog posts on twitter, so you can click thru to my reviews that way. :)
I don't think I've read a single book that you got yet I have a lot of them on my TBR list!
ReplyDeleteI know Meg! It's such a great stack! I'm so excited!
DeleteHi! I just joined Southern Book Bloggers, and I'm trying to connect with the other people on the site. I'm following your blog now—I love your layout! Here's mine if you want to check it out: www.thisxgirlxreads.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Hi Cheyenne! Nice to meet you!
DeleteI've heard great things about My Teenage Beating Heart! I've read one book by CK Kelly Martin and I liked it! Your bookish friend is WONDERFUL! =)
ReplyDeleteYes, Capillya, I have a great bookish friend! This is a big stack! I've never read anything by CK Kelly Martin but I've heard the name around, so I'm excited to get to it when I can.
DeleteLOVE IT when you appear on my blog. xoxo
That's an awesome stack of books you got. I haven't read any except Fallen and Hush Hush, but a lot of those are on my must read list.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy!
Most of these I haven't read either, but I'm eager to get started!
