In My Mailbox (9)

In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by Kristi at The Story Sirenwhere you can learn about all the awesome new books people have picked up this week!     


This was a very small, but very lovely week.  On Monday, I received some absolutely fantastic swag from Jill Hathaway, author of Slide.  It is honestly gorgeous.  I think I may have stared at these for a few solid minutes after I received them.




A cover flat, a post card, and a lovely, lovely bookmark.  Thank you so much, Jill!


Next up, I received a $50 American Express card from Penguin Teen, as one winner of the sweepstakes for the Breathless Reads Tour.  That, I expected.  What I didn't expect was this:


                                                      
An ARC of Cold Fury by T. M. Goeglein!


I was pleasantly surprised.  Emphasis on the surprised.  I've heard of Cold Fury before and adore the premise, but I really did not expect it to be part of my prize.  Is it typical to include ARCs in a prize?  If you know the answer, that'd be awesome.  


And that's all I got this week! What did you get in your mailbox?

This is a nice haul, and I am so jealous that you got Cold Fury! It looks like such a good book and I want to read it so bad. I have Slide, but have yet to read it. I hope that you enjoy reading them both!

Thanks for sharing!

A surprise ARC? That's awesome! I can't wait to see what you think of Cold Fury. I like the sound of that book. :) I love the Slide swag too! Doesn't that book just have the most amazing cover art? It all looks so pretty.

Awesome mailbox, Lexie! I love getting swag, it's so pretty and shiny! You can never go wrong w/ surprise ARCs! I've heard of Penguin including extras for giveaway winners, so you were just a lucky one. Cold Fury looks awesome, I am hoping to read mine soon, then we can confer :0)

Congratulations on winning the Penguin prize, Lexie! That's so awesome. :) It's nice they threw in the extra ARC, too.

And how funny that you received a flat with your other swag for SLIDE, though. Is it autographed? It's kind of an unusual thing to send a blogger, hah.
