Mailbox Monday is a weekly event where we share our latest book arrivals. Link up and find new mailboxes to stalk at the Mailbox Monday blog!
I feel like I’ve been reading a lot this week, but I haven’t managed to finish anything. I can’t seem to focus on any one book for some reason- does that ever happen to you? Hopefully something will grab me soon.
I have a little bit of everything in my mailbox this week:
For Review:
A Breast Cancer Alphabet by Madhulika Sikka – October is breast cancer awareness month, and I’ll be helping to spread some awareness with this awesome book. Thanks TLC Book Tours and Crown/Random House!
The Rosie Effect by Graeme Simsion – Ahhh the sequel to The Rosie Project! Thanks, Simon & Schuster- you made my day!
The Shape of My Heart by Ann Aguirre – The final book in the 2B trilogy, featuring Max and Courtney, two friends who become something more.
Library:
Pioneer Girl by Bich Minh Nguyen, audiobook read by Bernadette Dunne – This is a literary mystery about a Vietnamese American family’s relationship with Laura Ingalls Wilder via a gold-leaf brooch. Some of my favorite bloggers loved this one and I was happy to find the audio at the library.
Brown Girl Dreaming by Jacqueline Woodson – This memoir-in-verse has been getting a lot of attention, and is currently under consideration for the National Book Award in the YA category.
Purchase:
Girls Like Us by Gail Giles – Another book on the National Book Award YA longlist. And this one is on sale for kindle now for $2.51.
What’s new in your mailbox?
I had no idea there was a sequel to The Rosie Project. Of course I haven’t read it yet, but it’s definitely one I’ve heard great things about. Hope you enjoy it as well as all the rest. Happy reading!!
I loved Pioneer Girl and hope the audio version is good. Brown Girl Dreaming sounds great to me – I can’t wait to see what you think of it.
The Rosie Effect is on my wish list. I hope you love it and the rest of your new books as well! I’m curious about The Breast Cancer Alphabet so I’ll watch for your review.
WOW! Go The Rosie Effect! I hope you love it!

Ok, gorgeous covers and Pioneer Girl really caught my eye. I’m not familiar with it, but I love the premise!
