Checked out from the library (Just reviewed The Fault In Our Stars...excellent!):

From NetGalley (can't wait to read this one because Stiefvater's writing is magical!):

From a student (who said he enjoyed it more than the Harry Potter series!):

 

What amazing books did you get this week!? I haven't been keeping up with the new releases like I should, so I can't wait to find out what's new and amazing...

In My Mailbox (#16)

This meme is hosted by Kristi @ The Story Siren. It's a chance for book bloggers to post about what books they received over the week.

Books I bought:

Signed books donated by generous authors (a million times, thank you!) for our high school's Swine Week charity- Oklahoma Project Woman (so these aren't mine. They're being put into a basket which I most definitely will bid on):

 

Sarah Ockler's giving all three of her books! She is one of my all-time favorite authors.

Jennifer Echols said I can pick one. Any advice? I've only read Going Too Far, and I'm not sure if I want to scare parents by the title of that one. The book basket will be up for silent auction.

 

Julie Kagawa is donating one of her books from the Iron Fey series! 

 

Janette Rallison said she'll send a few, but I'm not sure which titles yet (hers are spread throughout; my computer wasn't cooperating).

If you haven't checked out Brodi Ashton's new release yet, Everneath has great mythology incorporated!

But I Love Him- one of my favorite contemporary reads of 2011!
 Hooray for hilarious Robin Benway! I can't wait to see which one she sends us. These books will make you laugh out loud.

(A student obtained this one from the House of Night series, signed by P.C. and Kristin!)

What did you get this week?

This week I have books donated by authors for my school's Swine Week auction. My 2nd hour is making a book basket, and so far, we've been promised signed copies of the following books! All proceeds go to Oklahoma Project Woman, which provides breast education, mammograms, and surgical procedures for women without health insurance (see below's post). *If you have any ideas of authors to approach that might be generous, let me know!

Christmas gift from my grandma-in-law (forgot it last week):
