In My Mailbox - May 17

IMM is brought to you courtesy of The Story Siren. Check out her blog as she will have Mr. Linky as well as ways you can try for more books!

I've been doing pretty well not buying books since I've been interning at the public library! Wo0t! Here's what I received:

For Review
Leftovers by Heather Waldorf
I got this from LibraryThing Early Reviewers. I request all of their young adult titles. Mostly I've seen ones from Orca Press. They make good books for reluctant readers. They aren't too long and they aren't formulaic.

Love the cover of this one. 15 y.o. Sarah's father died last year but she is still reeling from his abuse.


Neil Armstrong is My Uncle & Other Lies Muscle Man McGinty Told Me by Nan Marino
I requested this ARE from Roaring Book Press through Shelf Awareness. Sometimes I request Young Adult books but I've also requested adult ones too.

From the back:
Muscle Man McGinty is a squirrelly runt, a lying snake, and a pitiful excuse for a ten-year-old. The problem is that no one on Ramble Street knows it, but me.

Well, those have been added to my tottering pile of books to be read. Don't look for reviews too soon, but they will be coming!

What did you get?
