Shoved Through My Mailslot #8

Shoved Through My Mailslot is a bi-weekly meme here at A Book Lover's Ramblings, it's purpose is to showcase all the books (or bookish items) I got in the mail or bought over a two week period.

Last week: Mail
Rebel came from The Book Depository on Monday.

On Friday, the YA Saves shirt I ordered from DFTBA Records came.

Also on Friday, the books I ordered from Oblong Books & Music came. Last Sunday, Cassandra Clare, Holly Black, and Sarah Rees Brennan had a signing at Oblong in Rhinebeck, NY, and I pre-ordered signed and personalized copies of City of Bones, City of Ashes, Red Glove, The Demon's Lexicon, and The Demon's Covenant.


Last week: Bought
When I went to my local indie, The Bookman, I was pleasantly surprised to find that they actually had a YA section, and it was stocked with fairly-new releases. I picked up Before I Wake, and Cleopatra Confesses, which I think sounds really interesting.

I again stopped in The Bookman, and picked up Uncommon Criminals, because I had just finished Heist Society.

On Wednesday I went to Barnes & Noble to get A Million Suns, but they didn't have it. Instead they had Endlessly, a week early.

Wednesday I special ordered A Million Suns from The Bookman, and it came in on Friday, so I went after work to get it.


This week: Mail
At the beginning of the month I ordered The Book Thief, and it finally came on Wednesday.

This week: Bought
Went to Barnes & Noble after lunch today (that's why this post is late—sorry!), and bought Once.

Shoved Through My Mailslot #3

Shoved Through My Mailslot is a bi-weekly meme here at a Book Lover's Ramblings, it's purpose is to showcase all the books (or bookish items) I got in the mail or bought over a two week period.

Last week: Mail
I ordered Black Dawn the week before, and it came on Wednesday. It's number 12 in the series, and I've decided to not put the descriptions anymore because it makes the post wayyyyyy to long, sorry.


  
City of Lost Souls was released on Tuesday, and my pre-order finally came on Friday. The second copy is for my friend's birthday present. I also ordered Lost Voices by Sarah Porter, and it arrived on Friday as well.

Blood Red Road came Saturday from Zoraida Córdova. I entered in a contest she had a bit ago, and I was one of the winners.

Last week: Bought
Bought Shiver on Thursday, not really sure why, but I had a coupon to B&N and I couldn't decide on anything, so I was just like "eenie meenie miny mo".


This week: Mail
  
I ordered Knife and Arrow from The Book Depository awhile ago, and they finally came on Monday. I first heard about these books through *Street-Angel on deviantART.

Awhile ago there was an Obsidian blog tour or something, and if you pre-ordered the new Obsidian paperback (above), then emailed proof of purchase, you qualified for signed swag (shown here).

This week: Bought
When I went to B&N on Friday I saw Of Poseidon by Anna Banks, and just HAD to get it, even though it doesn't officially release until Tuesday.

That's it for this STMM. I got a lot more mail than I was expecting, and bought a lot less than usual. Hmmm. . .
