In My Mailbox 7/31

Here's how this works: It's a weekly feature hosted by The Story Siren where we all post what new books we received in the mail, from the library, or contests we won, etc. Click the link for more info and to join in on the fun!

This week I got a couple books from giveaways, some material from the library, and a couple posters! I also got the cutest little surprises.. wait for those ones!

• Divergent (ARC) came from Laura @ The Reading Nook
• Between Here and Forever came from Elizabeth Scott
• Stealing Heaven came from Tara @ The Fiction Folio
  

Thanks ladies!!! These giveaway books are much appreciated and I can't wait to dig in!

Library Books:

• Meg Cabot - Overbite
• Susan Colasanti - Something Like Fate (audio)

I'm going to return the book version of Overbite and pick up the audio version from my other library. I put them both on hold and the book version came in first, but I will have ZERO time to read it! Plus, I listened to the first one in the series, and I like to stick to the same format. Just never enough time in a day!

Poster came from Jessica @ Confessions of a Bookaholic
and the publisher of the book. Thanks!


I got this poster from my local movie theater.
They had a ton they were giving away, so I snagged one :o)

Finally!! These obviously didn't come from my mailbox, but I did receive them this week. Here's the story: a local no-kill animal shelter was running a special on Saturday to empty their cages in order to make room for animals from other local shelters who euthanize their animals. Such a great thing, right? So the prices were slashed in order to make room. Puppies were $50, dogs were $25, kitties were $25 and cats were $5! GREAT deals! Tons of people showed up, and for the cause we were supporting, I didn't wait minding the hour and a half it took for my boyfriend and me to meet these adorable pups. We picked one, and while we were paying, we were lightly persuaded into getting another puppy. Their reasoning? It's easier with two! We fell for it, and we're so glad we did. They're hysterical, clumsy little things with lots of life! And they didn't keep us up last night with sad whines. They're pretty independent and seriously adorable!! Check them out!

Max and Titan :o)
They're 2 month old Husky/Shepherd puppies.

We think Max, the lighter one, may be a Lab/Shepherd mix because we don't really see the Husky in him. But who knows, when he gets older maybe we'll see it more! They're ridiculously cute and so much fun. They like to jump in the pool, which is a little scary, but they're big enough for the first step. They're getting the hang of pottying outside, which is great. We're looking into getting a doggy door.. I just hope the cat doesn't try to use it! We'll see if they get the hang of that. :o) Any suggestions, tips, etc? Please let me know! Here's a bonus picture of them taking a nap. They like to lay on clothes and in a bunch of our stuff. lol
