**’Post’ on Sundays is a weekly/biweekly post here at Forever 17 Books where I can share with you all the goodies I have received, bought or borrowed. This post was inspired by In My Mailbox by The Story Siren.**
I have decided to start linking up with Tynga’s Reviews and the Stalking the Shelves meme!
I was planning on holding off and waiting until next week to show you what I got this week, but then I received my Secret Santa gift in the mail and I had to share it!
I got a lovely package in the mail from my Secret Santa! In it I found chocolates, a bookmark from The Hobbit, the cutest little Rudolph AND a copy of
Every Day by David Levithan EEP! And it’s SIGNED! Thank you so much Allison from Good Books and Wine.
-Imaginary Girls by Nova Ren Suma I’ve seen good and bad reviews for this one, but I really want to give it a try for myself. It was on sale so I picked up a copy.
-Purity by Jackson Pearce Won this at Arcycling. π
-The Darkest Minds by Alexandra Bracken Won this ARC from The Midnight Garden! I am really excited to read this one.
-The Madman’s Daughter by Megan Sheperd Snagged this off of Shelf Awareness. Thank you HarperTeen!
-Taken by Erin Bowman You guys have no idea how much I flailed when I got accepted on Edelweiss for this one! It is my most anticipated debut of 2013!
-Streamline by Jennifer Lane The author sent me over a copy of this and I look forward to reading it in the New Year. π
That’s it for this week! For those of you who celebrate Christmas, I hope you have a wonderful Holiday! This next week, the blog will be full of Top 10 of 2012 posts as well as a couple GIVEAWAYS! Be on the lookout. π

Awesome haul! Imaginary Girls is one of my favorite books ever, so I really hope you love it! I also got The Darkest Minds this week and I can’t wait to dive into it. I’m currently reading The Madman’s Daughter and so far it’s pretty creepy if not a bit slow-moving. I hope you have a great holiday!

You have so many great books! Darkest Minds looks amazing! I still need to get that one. I’ll be interested to see what you think of The Madman’s Daughter because I’m on the fence about that one. I believe my sister has it for review as well.

You definitely have me curious now! I’m anxious to get to it.

Also got Taken and Madman’s Daughter and I’m really excited to reading those!
Loved Darkest Minds and Every Day.
Have a wonderful holiday — did you go to the movie without me??
Sara @ Forever 17 Books
I did not go. BOO! It got to be like 9:30 and I was just too exhausted to go so late. I bet part of it was because you couldn’t come with me. π
Nikki H
I have the Darkest Minds and Everyday too! I need someone to fangirl with, so let me know when you start them! And yay for The Madman’s Daughter. I really want to read it :/ Congrats that you got that great snag tho!
Sara @ Forever 17 Books
I will try to get to them soon! I have a bunch of review books to read first but they are on my priority list!
Krista
Awesome, Awesome haul this week! I’m DYING to read The Darkest Minds and I’ve heard such great things about Everyday. I have an ebook of Madman’s Daughter, so I’m pretty jelly you got a physical copy π Can’t wait to hear your thoughts on it! Happy reading!!
Sara @ Forever 17 Books
I have high hopes! π
Nereyda @Mostly YA Book Obsessed
I wasn’t a big fan of Every Day, but I think I was the only one who didn’t like it.
Taken looks really good, so does The Madman’s Daughter.
Streamline sounds intense.
Great books π
Sara @ Forever 17 Books
