In My Mailbox (#15)

In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by The Story Siren and inspired by Alea of Pop Culture Junkie. The idea behind IMM is not only to put new books on our radars but also to encourage blogger interaction. IMM explores the weekly contents of our mailboxes: books bought, received, won, and borrowed, along with other goodies and swag.

The SAT is over (!!), I can say for sure (without going into the boring details) that I scored really high.  All that means it's time for a long break and a personal reading/reviewing marathon... good thing I got so many great books these last two weeks!

Here's what I got: 
From the Library:
