Posted by Pushy • Posted in Blog, Meme, Pushy • 11 comments

Hello, dear reader, and welcome to:

Weekly meme from The Story Siren.

The idea is to post the books you got this week,

whether you bought them, got them as a gift,from the library,

or received them to review.

Hi, all! *waves*

It’s Pushy here this week for In My Mailbox!

I’ve had a lovely few weeks and gotten some great books I’m excited to share:

Audiobooks for Review

Thank you SO MUCH Harper Audio and Random House Audio!!!!
My ears have been SO HAPPY as I’m already listening to two of the above!!

First off, The Diviners, is SO FREAKING CREEPTACULARLY AWESOME I have to force myself out of my car (I’m listening to it on CDs). The narrator is a GENIUS of a woman who can do a 10 year old boy, a 70 year old woman and a teenager from Brooklyn with PERFECT distinction and amazing accents. This woman is beyond amazing. She deserves awards for her work in this! And yes, I’ll review it soon, but seriously, Random House’s audio version of The Diviners is something special.

Secondly, I have three words to share with you about the Carnival of Souls audiobook: James Freaking Marsters. As in Spike. As in he could read me the recipe for making paste and I’d be drooling. And he’s reading the brilliance that is Mellisa Marr. It’s brilliance! I’m loving this book. ‘Nuff said.

So, tell me! What did you get this week?

I definitely want to know which of the books you are most excited to read or which you’re loving if like me, you’ve already started yours!

Now go and get lost….in a book!

Carnival of Souls–very different than Marr’s others but good, of course! And I can’t wait to read Diviners!

Yay for The Diviners. I just finished it and it was great. I bet it’d be fabulous in audio.
