In My Mailbox (37)

In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by The Story Siren, in which book bloggers post about the books they've bought, borrowed or received in the past week.


This week, like many other readers, I bought Veronica Roth's Insurgent, the sequel to Divergent. While I really wanted to read this book, I didn't actually want to spend any money. I seriously underestimated the popularity of this book and saw that there were already 30 holds on it at my library, and I couldn't find it at Walmart or Costco. Finally I gave in and bought it at Chapters. Hardcovers are just so expensive, but hopefully this book will be worth the $20. I'll probably be reading Insurgent tomorrow. 

From the library, I took out Where It Began by Ann Redisch Stampler. I've had this on hold for a while, and since then I've completely forgotten what it's about. From the cover, I kind of thought it was going to be like The Summer I Turned Pretty, but after reading the synopsis I think this book is a lot darker than that. Definitely looks interesting!

What was in your mailbox this week?

    1. Divergent was really good, especially if you like dystopian YA. I'd recommend it!

  2. It's worth it just because it's so PRETTY!

  3. I've just started Insurgent and its good but I really wish I had had the time to read Divergent again because I just can't quite remember what the hell happened at the end :(

    Enjoy!
