In My Mailbox is a weekly event hosted by Kristi over at The Story Siren. Stacking the Shelves is a weekly event hosted on Tynga’s Reviews. Here we can share what new books we’ve picked up this past week.
Edelweiss Edition!
So I signed up for Edelweiss, and have been approved for two totally amazing books!! Thanks Simon Pulse!
How My Summer Went Up in Flames by Jennifer Salvato Doktorski
The Book of Broken Hearts by Sarah Ockler
Life Tidbits
- CNY wasn’t really hit a ton by Nemo, but we did get some snow (maybe 6 inches). Nothing out of the ordinary, really, for Syracuse, but it still wasn’t fun driving home on Friday evening. I hope everyone hit by the storm is doing alright.
- This is the first Saturday I’ve had off since January 12. Woot woot for having Saturdays off!
- I really want to see Warm Bodies this weekend, but I’m not sure I will be able to. I’m trying to get my dad to go with me, because none of my other friends are up for it. I tried tricking my mom into seeing it. She asked what it was about, and I said it was a zom-rom-com, thinking she wouldn’t know that it was about zombies, but she totally knew. It was really funny. I shouldn’t underestimate my mother.
- I got my tickets to see American Ballet Theatre’s Le Corsair in DC in April. So excited! They are really good seats.
- I read this great post about introverts over at Stacked. You should definitely check it out, if you haven’t already.
- I’ve been having such a fun time participating in Project: Fairy Tale, created and hosted by Alison from The Cheap Reader. It’s great to read the other participating bloggers’ thoughts on their chosen fairytales. You all should check it out!
Your books look interesting, particularly How My Summer Went Up In Flames. I hope you enjoy them.
Yay for Edelweiss!
I also have How My Summer Went Up in Flames – I can’t even WAIT to start that one!! Road trips – love it!! 
Enjoy your new goodies!!
Definite YAY for Edelweiss (seriously, whenever I think the name, I think of the song from Sound of Music)
I’ve seen lots about The Book of Broken Hearts, but haven’t really read any reviews. Hope you enjoy.
Oooh, I’m off to see Warm Bodies today!
I just saw it. It was super cute, don’t you think?
Yes, it was! I found it quite comical too!
I’m not sure if I’ve heard of either books but they look good, nevertheless. Happy reading!
I think they will be really fun.
Hi I like the look of How My Summer Went Up In Flames! And yeah, moms are pretty smart! Old follower returning.

Lol. It was so funny that my mom knew what I meant when I said zom-rom-com.
How My Summer Went Up in Flames seems like such a fun story! I really hope you like it.

Simon Pulse is SO nice on Edelweiss! They’ve always approved my requests and make me feel very loved. Plus they don’t take forever (like some publishers) to say yes or no!
Enjoy your books!

I know, it looks like so much fun. I also can’t wait to read it, but I am going to try to wait a little bit until it is closer to its release date. I’m not sure if I’ll be able to do that, though
Sarah Ockler’s book sounds really good. I’ve heard great things about her past novels! I hope you enjoy all of your books.
Krystianna @ Downright Dystopian
I’ve heard great things about Sarah Ockler too. I’m really excited to give this book a try.
I’ve been meaning to sign up to Edelweiss for a while but it honestly confuses me. So I think I’ll look into it when I have more time…
Anyway, I hope you enjoy your novels. How My Summer Went Up In Flames sounds really interesting!
I had been putting it off, too, because it was confusing. But there is a little video thing that helped me out. It was on the left hand side under the review copies tab. Once I watched that I had no problems.
I’m so jealous. Super excited for both of those books. I can’t wait to see what you think of them (:
I was definitely excited to be approved for them.
How My Summer Went Up In Flames looks amazing! I hope you enjoy them!

it does look amazing! I can’t wait to start that one.
ohhh! I really want to read How My Summer Went Up in Flames and Broken Hearts- can’t wait to hear your thoughts on both. I hope you enjoyed your Saturday off!
I did enjoy my Saturday off. I did absolutely nothing all day, until I went to the movies that night. I saw Warm Bodies – it was adorable, in a zombie way
They look so good!! Hope you enjoy them! How My Summer Went Up in Flames looks amazing! I love the title!
Love the sound of both of these books! They sound like they could be pretty cute reads. Enjoy all that you got this week. Thanks for sharing and happy reading1

And I really want to see Warm Bodies, too. I LOVED the book so much.
You should tell your Mom it’s a modern Romeo and Juliet (with zombies XD
Great books! I really wanted to see Warm Bodies too, I have the same problem you do in trying to convince someone to go with >.< . It might just have to be a "when it comes out on dvd" kind of movie for me. Thanks for stopping by mine!

I’m jealous of your ballet tickets and I also want to see Warm Bodies. I’m having trouble just getting someone to go see Beautiful Creatures with me
How My Summer Went Up in Flames! I love roadtrip books! Awesome haul.
Both of those sound really good! I’m especially intrigued by How My Summer Went Up in Flames. I’ll have to add that to my wishlist.
These both look like great titles! Sarah Ockler’s books have come up as Goodreads recommendations a few times, and I really need to check them out one of these days. Happy reading, and thanks for stopping by!
” zom-rom-com??”Lol!I really want to watch Warm Bodies too,but only after reading the book.
How My Summer Went Up in Flames sounds like a fun read-Hope you enjoy it!
Happy Reading,Thanks for stopping by Say It With Books!
I read in some magazine that Warm Bodies was a zom-rom-com. I liked that, and was hoping mom had no idea what the zom stood for. Oh well. I did see it with my dad, and it was a lot of fun.
So glad you were safe up in upstate New York! I was feeling for the whole northeast. Maybe it led to fun times too…?
snow is pretty much the norm in Syracuse, so it didn’t really lead to any fun times for me. Actually, it was kind of a pain, because I had to drive home in not great weather, and then shovel, shovel, shovel. But I bet kids loved it. Or anyone that got out of work early.
Yea for having Saturdays off! I never minded working on Sundays, but Saturdays bummed me out for some reason. And too funny about trying to trick your mom into seeing a zombie movie with you! Never underestimate moms, as they know all the tricks!
I saw Warm Bodies yesterday! I am posting my review on Saturday! If you post a review message me so I can link it up!
Edelweiss is so addictive! Have fun. Both of those books are on my kindle waiting to be read
Glad you enjoyed Warm Bodies!
I plan on reading How My Summer Went Up In Flames for the Debut Author Challenge.
I really want to see Warm Bodies but with Beautiful Creatures coming out this week, I have a really tough choice.
Totally got hit by Nemo. I think we got it a shade worse than CNY because we got the lake effect snow off of Erie. I shoveled like 3 times at my work (and was gonna kill a Bobcat driver LOL) and then had to go shovel my house! Thank goodness for the boyfriend’s help!
Totally want to see Warm Bodies too. If I lived by you I’d go with you!
Shoveling sucks. Blah to shoveling.
