In My Mailbox Sunday

This week was exciting. I received a copy of Pete Hautman's newest, How to Steal a Car, which I've just finished. It should have been 70 pages longer at the least, full review to come.

I love surprise mail because when I requested this Pete Hautman title I was also sent three other titles from Scholastic that they thought I might like. There was no note, however, which is okay (reps are busy and I appreciate everything they do for our store). But, I was also sent Hannah: Daughters of the Sea by Kathryn Lasky. Incidentally, her name sounded SO familiar to me. Then I looked her up and she's the writer of The Guardians of Ga'hoole and some Royal Diaries books. Hannah looks like a mermaid/selkie story, which is awesome. I heart mermaids.

Also, I was sent How to Say Goodbye in Robot by Natalie Standiford. Which I was coveting on a few other blogs I read! I love synchronicity. Although it happens often because I am around SO many books. Scholastic also sent me another title which I left at work for now and I absolutely forget the title of. Tacky, sorry. I'll make an addendum blog post on Monday.

And, I now have a copy of After by Amy Efaw, which again I was coveting elsewhere. After is published by Viking via Penguin.

Ha. I just peeked on the back to see the marketing campaign info for this book and it states that they've sent it out to "industry big mouths". And I thought I was just blahblahblah-ing.

And that's my week in books recieved in big lovely yellow envelopes which make my eyes water when I see them. Seriously, our delivery person thinks I have a crush on him, the looks I give.

I hope everyone else found some great books this week!
