In My Mailbox is a meme hosted by Kristi of The Story Siren and was inspired by Alea of Pop Culture Junkie. This meme is about books that you received or bought during the week.
I was squeeing yesterday when not one but two recently ordered packages of books showed up earlier than expected:
Seer of Sevenwaters (!) by Juliet Marillier (preordered and reason for the squeeing
)
The Sky is Everywhere by Jandy Nelson (which I’ve already read but wanted a copy for a gift)
Celtic Names for Children by Loreto Todd
Hopefully we’ll find a name for DD in the latter. If not I hear it’s a great book for fantasy/historical writers so it may come in handy for DH, who’s been trying his hand at writing a couple of YA fantasy series over this past year.
Get anything squee-worthy this week?



Great books! Found you on The Story Siren.
Thanks Nancy! Glad you came over.
These look great! Love when books comes earlier than expected, what a great surprise! The Sevenwaters series looks really interesting, I’ll have to check it out!
Oh Becky, you should! It’s one of my favorite series of all time.
I’ve heard a lot of good things about The Sky is Everywhere! Happy reading!

The writing and the story are both beautiful. Thanks for stopping by, I’ll head on over your way.
*SQUEE* You have Seer already! I haven’t ordered it yet because I’m still waiting for my Book Depository order. It’s been more than three weeks.
I hope the books get here soon so I can order again. Oooh that book for Celtic names looks good, I hope you can find a name for your daughter in there.
Yes! I was thrilled. Can’t beat the jumping-for-joy happiness you have when you get your hands on a new release from one of your fav authors.
Hope your BD books arrive soon! This Celtic book should either confirm the one name we have agreed on or offer a better alternative.
Squee-worthy indeed! I haven’t read any Juliet Marillier books yet, but I’ve heard lots of great reviews on her books.
Well Tina if you like historical/epic fantasy with some romance you should give DAUGHTER OF THE FOREST a try sometime. It’s one of my fav books.
Great books! The sky is everywhere looks like a good one… Happy reading

Thanks! It is a good one.
I think I will like seer of sevenwaters.
I’m liking it so far.
Hey, I used that book to pick a name for my daughter! I chose Bryna, named after my father Bryan. Nice, huh? It’s a great book, good luck. Thanks for the news about the marillier book, too!
Really? That’s cool. I love Bryna! Very pretty and a great tribute to your dad. The only name we have picked out is actually close to that – Brenna.
Have you started SEER yet? Can’t wait to hear if you find a name you like for your little girlie in CELTIC NAMES. Lets try and get together soon so I can give your books back. Also, I have a little something for you for Christmas.
Hey Em, thanks for coming over. Seer is good so far. I’d love to get together but I’m super tired and stressed right now.
You have brought up a very good points , appreciate it for the post.
