In My Mailbox is a meme hosted by Kristi from The Story Siren, feel free to participate by sharing the books you received in your mailbox this week!

In Order of Excitement:
This Lullaby by Sarah Dessen | I've almost worked my way through all of this authors books and it'll be sad when I don't have anymore on my wish list but I may have to go back and re-read my absolute favourites.
Sorta Like a Rock Star by Matthew Quick | I'm not sure how this one will go over with me, I can't ever imagine having to live life on the road but let's hope it's a little like How Not To Be Popular.
Shift by Em Bailey | Apparently this one is a lot like Liar by Justine Larbalestier which I haven't read just yet but I think the amazing cover will have me reading this one asap.
Fury (The Fury Series #1) by Elizabeth Miles | The reviews for Fury have all been split right down the middle, either absolutely terrible or glowing and with my recent enjoyment of paranormal, I'm hoping I agree with the latter.
Like Mandarin by Kirsten Hubbard | I haven't always been keen on this one but after reading so many raving reviews, it was hard to pass up in a recent book swap.
How to Deal by Sarah Dessen | Another Dessen for me this week. I haven't actually seen the movie this is based on but I'm stoked to finally get my hands on That Summer :)
Tangled by Carolyn Mackler | I really do not like this version of the cover, it looks like a really bad christian romance novel but it has been on my wish list forever so i'll probably read it soon anyway.
Follow the Blue by Brigid Lowry | I've been curious about this one for such a long time, it seems to be a favourite of many Aussie YA fans and I can't wait to see what all the fuss is about.
You'll Be Sorry When I'm Dead by Marieke Hardy | I picked up this book purely knowing the author as a host on triple j  radio but recently discovered she's also a frequent writer for the tv show, Packed to the Rafters so it should be pretty good.
The Postmortal: A Novel by Drew Magary | For some reason, I was keen to pick this book up while on the look out for more dystopia like The Hunger Games but now I'm regretting the icky green cover.

Great books this week! TANGLED looks surprisingly cute...it's definitely a fun cover. And I've heard really good things about LIKE MANDARIN!
I really want to read Tangled! I hope that you enjoy your new books!

This Lullaby is one of my favorite Sarah Dessen books. Still not as good as The Truth About Forever though.

They look great, I've yet to read anything by Sarah Dessen but keep hearing awesome things so I may have to check it out.

That last cover is a pretty icky green. Really fab books this week though. I'll be interested to see what you think of Like Mandarin. Happy Reading!
I just finished Kirsten Hubbard's Wanderlove, which was very gorgeous. Haven't tried out Like Mandarin, though. Hope you like it:).

I ADORE This Lullaby. Dexter is my favorite Dessen boy. I need to read another one of her books. Seeing others read her is making me miss her characters. Also, I'm currently reading Fury and I love it. Hopefully, you'll enjoy it too.

Shift looks really good! Happy reading :)
I'm eager to read Fury, I've read some not so great reviews for it too, but I'm still eager :)

Stop by Fictional Fantasy and check out my IMM if you get a chance :)
