In Our Mailbox #2 + Stacking the Shelves #14


Stacking the Shelves is a weekly meme first initiated by Tynga. This weekly segment will showcase the books/galleys/ARCs we've acquired/purchased/borrowed within the week.

Purchased Books:

3. Blackbirds by Chuck Wendig

In Our Mailbox is a meme hosted by The Story Siren. This features all the things that we have received in our mailbox - literally.

Michelle



A note + signed copies of:

White Time by Margo Lanagan 
Yellowcake by Margo Lanagan (to be republished in May 2013 by Knopf)


These were sent to Michelle all the way from Australia by the very nice Ms. Margo Lanagan (author of the recently republished The Brides of Rollrock Island; reviewed here). You can only imagine how taken aback she was that a two-time Printz-award winning author would even bother to respond to her Tweets, let alone take time to send her two of her books, along with a note, but Ms. Lanagan is apparently that patient and nice. Michelle's so ecstatic that she doesn't even have plans to dispose of the packaging envelope they came in - all because it had two of her signatures. (Yes, she's creepy that way.)


Can't wait to see what you guys got as well!
