In My Mailbox invites book bloggers to share which books they found in their mailbox (bought, borrowed, received) each week. It is hosted by Kristi at The Story Siren and was inspired by Alea of Pop Culture Junkie. This is my first week participating :)

Dream Life by Lauren Mechling

Claire Voyante's first semester at Henry Hudson High School was eventful, to say the least. As she heads into her second semester, things are calming down a bit. But Claire has a few secrets that are getting harder to keep. Her biggest secret of all? The onyx and ivory cameo necklace her grandmother gave her for her 15th birthday. Ever since she started wearing it, her dreams have been coming to her in black and white and turning out to be oddly prophetic.

Becca’s been hanging out with her old prep school friends and never seems to have time for Claire anymore. And soon, Claire discovers why—there’s a secret group of society girls with a mysterious identity. And, turns out, a mysterious enemy who’s out to get them. The second she sniffs out trouble, Claire jumps on the case. But is it someone close to Claire who’s in danger again—or could it be Claire herself whose life is at stake? (From Amazon.com)

Borrowed:

How to Say Goodbye in Robot by Natalie Standiford

New to town, Beatrice is expecting her new best friend to be one of the girls she meets on the first day. But instead, the alphabet conspires to seat her next to Jonah, aka Ghost Boy, a quiet loner who hasn't made a new friend since third grade. Something about him, though, gets to Bea, and soon they form an unexpected friendship. It's not romance, exactly - but it's definitely love. Still, Bea can't quite dispel Jonah's gloom and doom - and as she finds out his family history, she understands why. Can Bea help Jonah? Or is he destined to vanish? (From Amazon.com)

I haven't read those, and they do sound great. I don't usually let books pile up, but I have a pile of six that I really want to read right now. Three came from the library, and three were presents from a friend. And Christmas always brings more.

Sarah said...

Myrna: Sounds like you've got some good piles going...and growing :D I do let my books pile up, actually...I want to read more of them than I'm honest about having the time for. Working at a library doesn't help--it's far too tempting to take books home, and I usually don't fight the temptation. In 30 days I have to bring them all back anyway :)
