In My Mailbox (24)

In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by The Story Siren to share what books you received for review, purchased, or checked out from the library during the past week.

I was really good this week and I didn't buy any books although I've been tempted to purchase Linger. Of course it is partly because I have too many books to read at the moment :)

I was excited to get Forgive My Fins this week and my cousin's wife was kind enough to let me borrow Someone Knows My Name which sounds like a fantastic book. I also finally got Firespell from the library after months of waiting so hopefully I will like it when I get to read it.

For review:

From the library:

13 to Life by Shannon Delany

The Six Rules of Maybe by Deb Caletti

Firespell by Chloe Neill

Beachcombers by Nancy Thayer

    Someone Knows My Name is one of the best books I have ever read. I studied this subject in university and have read a lot on it and I think this is one of the best fiction takes on slavery.
