In My Mailbox #27

Before we get started, I wanted to let you all know, just incase you'd missed it, that there is a giveaway happening one entry back. So you can CLICK HERE and comment to win a copy of a super cool novel by Monique Doucette (giveaway is US only).

Now, on with the show.

In My Mailbox is hosted every week by Kristi, The Story Siren.

I did get one book in the mail this week. But I've actually thrown it away (honestly, I had to have someone else do it... even with the kind of book that it was, I couldn't bring myself to throw it in the trash on my own). It was offensive (don't get me wrong, I've read some offensive stuff, but this?), and negatively stereotyped a lot of people (and yes, even though I know that sort of thing DOES go on, I mean really... EVERY black male character in the book?), and I believe that the description is misleading. And I don't like being tricked in to reading something.

Anyways. Moving on...

I did get some new Kindle reads though.


Bumped by Megan McCafferty




Exiled by Rashelle Workman



Grey Eyes by B. Alston and Q. Ramey

There you go. I think that's all I snagged this week. What about you guys?

  3. Yikes! I'd be interested to know what the book you had to throw out was! Sorry you had such a bad experience with it- that really sucks!

    Those other books all look great. I got Exiled a few weeks back and I can't wait the read it. I love the cover!
