In My Mailbox is a meme originally hosted by Kristi over at The Story Siren (click for more information) that shares all the new books you've bought, borrowed, received, or traded for the week.
I didn't have the best week, but I have so many awesome books left from last week that I can't wait to read.
Library/For review:
Airhead by Meg Cabot
Summary: (taken from Goodreads)
Emerson Watts, 16 and female, loves playing video games, hanging out with her best friend, Christopher, and has made peace with her less-than-supermodel-esque looks. But when she's involved in a mysterious accident, she wakes up to find she's now in the body of...a supermodel. Who was behind this switch? What was the motive? And how can she get Christopher to realize she's still the same person inside?
After reading such awesome reviews about this series, I knew I had to check it out. It sounds really good and I love Meg Cabot. If I like it, I'll definitely be getting the next two books.
Gone by Michael Grant
Summary: (taken from Goodreads)
In the blink of an eye. Everyone disappears. GONE.
Except for the young. Teens. Middle schoolers. Toddlers. But not one single adult. No teachers, no cops, no doctors, no parents. Just as suddenly, there are no phones, no internet, no television. No way to get help. And no way to figure out what's happened.
Hunger threatens. Bullies rule. A sinister creature lurks. Animals are mutating. And the teens themselves are changing, developing new talents—unimaginable, dangerous, deadly powers—that grow stronger by the day.
It's a terrifying new world. Sides are being chosen, a fight is shaping up. Townies against rich kids. Bullies against the weak. Powerful against powerless. And time is running out: On your birthday, you disappear just like everyone else...
I've been loving dystopian type books lately and this looks just simply amazing! I'm super excited about this one :D
The Boys Next Door by Jennifer Echols
Summary: (taken from Goodreads)
Cute, available, and one cabin over....
Lori lives for summertime on the lake. She spends all season wakeboarding, swimming, and hanging with her friends — including the two hotties in the house next door. With the Vader brothers, Lori's always been one of the guys.
But while Lori and the "baby" brother, Adam, are inseparable friends, she can't deny a secret crush on Sean, the older Vader boy. This year Sean's been paying Lori a lot of attention, and not in a brotherly way.
But just as Lori decides to prove to Sean she's girlfriend material, she realizes that her role as girl friend to Adam may be even more important. And by trying so hard for the perfect summer romance, she could be going way overboard...
I haven't officially gotten this one yet, but I'll be picking it up off the hold shelf tomorrow morning. This would be my first Jennifer Echols book. I've heard such good things about this author. This book kind of reminds of The Summer I Turned Pretty by Jenny Han, which I loved.

Gone looks great, I've added it to my wishlist! :)
Hi Sara! I am very intrigued by Gone; I enjoy dystopian fiction. The Boys Next Door looks like a fun summer read. Enjoy!
Those all sound so good! I've been meaning to read some more Meg Cabot. Hope you enjoy them!
I need to try some Meg :)
The Boys Next Door does sound like The Summer I Turned Pretty, hopefully it's just as good. And Gone is very popular at my library, it never seems to be on the shelf! Hope you enjoy all of your books.
Awesome books this week. My students really liked Gone and Airhead. I hope you enjoy them as well.
Okay, I keep seeing The Boys Next Door. I think it's a sign I need to get it. What do you think of the airhead series? I haven't read any Meg Cabot, but I know a lot of people love her. I'm starting with Pants on Fire. I keep seeing all the Airhead books but I wasn't sure if I wanted to commit to a series.
Jennifer Echols is a great author. I have The Boys Next Door on my shelf and haven't picked it up yet. Hope you enjoy and great week.
Hey Sara! I gave you an award over at my blog! ^.^
Awesome books! I've heard Gone is fantastic, as well as Jennifer Echols' books. Plus, you cannot go wrong with Meg Cabot ;)
Happy reading!
Awesome books! Gone IS great, and Jennifer Echols writes some great, lighthearted romantic comedies. Enjoy! :D
I love Jennifer Echols's romantic dramas. I haven't read any of her romantic comedies, but I'm sure they're good!
Just found you through the Blog Hop. I'll be back!
Oh, and I love the GONE series. Hope you enjoy it, too.
I'm looking forward to your review of Gone, I haven't read it yet but would love to know what you think! Happy Reading!
