In My Mailbox - ALA Edition

IMM is a meme brought to us from The Story Siren. Basically, it's a good way to add books to your TBR pile, get a head's up on what is coming soon, and to totally covet books. All cover photos will take you to the Goodreads page.

For review:

A Wrinkle In Time - 50th Anniversary Edition by Madeleine L'Engle

Friends With Boys by Faith Erin Hicks

Freshman Year & Other Unnatural Disasters by Meredith Zeitlin

Won:

Deadly Cool by Gemma Halliday (thx, Books Obsession!)

From ALA:

Here are some of my favorite books from ALA. I consider myself lucky to get them considering everyone wanted a copy. There has been a lot of hoopla lately about who got what and if their piles were too high. I won't comment extensively on that. Others are saying great things in defense of the blogging community. 

I did, however, want to praise my blogging/librarian/author/publishing friends  for raising $101 dollars for the Freedom To Read Foundation during ALA. 75-80 book loving people came to a party I hosted on Friday night. We talked shop, passed around books, and rallied around our beloved Texas authors. Some of these same bloggers have been generous many times over. They donated 500 books to the Austin Children's Shelter and another 500 books to Safe Place last year in addition to their own local libraries and schools. Now, they are rallying around a Texas blogger who lost everything in a house fire during ALA. Thank you all for your generosity!
