In My Mailbox

I am participating in this weekly meme hosted by The Story Siren, where we share what books we received this week.

Did everyone win some goodies from the Summer Giveaway Hop? I was fortunate to win some giveaways!

My "real" mailbox was also very happy this week, receiving a few books previously won in giveaways that I have been eagerly waiting for. I also received a few more books for review this week.
