"Saying 'I notice you're a nerd' is like saying, 'Hey, I notice that you'd rather be intelligent than be stupid, that you'd rather be thoughtful than be vapid, that you believe that there are things that matter more than the arrest record of Lindsay Lohan. Why is that?' In fact, it seems to me that most contemporary insults are pretty lame. Even 'lame' is kind of lame. Saying 'You're lame' is like saying 'You walk with a limp.' Yeah, whatever, so does 50 Cent, and he's done all right for himself."— John Green

In My Mailbox (10)

In My Mailbox is a meme hosted by Kristi of The Story Siren and inspired by one of her friends, Alea of Pop Culture Junkie where we get to post about the books we receive each week through publishers/authors, our own purchases, contests won, and libraries.

So I filmed a video, but it is 1 minute too long and I don't feel like re-editing.  Therefore, I'm going back to the old school format and listing the books I got!

First up is what I got in the mail:
Dark Mirror by M. J. Putney from Starry Sky Books
A Sweet Venom (by Tera Lynn Childs) bookmark + Other bookmarks from IB Book Blogging

Bought from Borders:
The Average American Male by Chad Kultgen
Ani Difranco: Verses by Ani DiFranco

Bought from The Salvation Army:
Dead Is the New Black by Marlene Perez
Life of Pi by Yann Martel
The Essential 55 by Ron Clark
Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer
The Emperor's Children by Claire Messud
In the Woods by Tana French
A Wild Ride Up the Cupboards by Ann Bauer
Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood

Let me know if you've read any of them in the comments!!
