In My Mailbox #22

In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by Kristi at 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 to encourage blogger interaction.  IMM explores the weekly contents of our mailboxes: books bought, received, won, and borrowed, along with other goodies and swag.

Lots of great books in my mailbox this week: a healthy, chaotic blend of steampunk, horror, and the more literary (some of which is for my upcoming lit class.)  I seem to be almost unconsciously moving away from YA these days, though I currently have a lot of YA reviews lined up.  Stay tuned.  :)


Here's what I got:
