In My Mailbox – New Books This Week (24)

June 26, 2011

In My Mailbox is a posting idea run by Kristi at The Story Siren (read all about it here: In My Mailbox) for bloggers to share the books they’ve gotten that week to help publicize as many titles as possible. It’s a little preview on what book reviews to anticipate along with a way to build excitement about new titles coming out. All titles link to goodreads so you can add books to your “to-read” list.


Sent to Me

ENCLAVE (Razorland #1) by Ann Aguirre
Ann was kind enough to offer copies of her book to teachers on twitter one day, so I emailed her and she sent me 5 copies for me and to share with others!  THANK YOU SO MUCH, ANN! I’m looking forward to reading this one-I’ve seen good reviews for it. I’m also very excited because she’s a debut YA author and this will be another one to add to my dystopian book club list.

* Don’t forget to enter to win a copy of MY LIFE UNDECIDED by Jessica Brody. Giveaway ends June 28th! 

*Oh, and if you missed my gushing review of THE UNBECOMING OF MARA DYER by Michelle Hodkin on Friday, check it out. I love this book and it’s going to be much talked about come September!

    I have Enclave in a box I think somewhere waiting to be read. I just moved (wonder how long I can claim just) about a month ago and I'm still trying to find bookshelves to put my books on. Didn't realize I had acquired so many more in my year of blogging. I'm be looking forward to your review.

It's the start of #BlackHistoryMonth & one way you It's the start of #BlackHistoryMonth & one way you can support diverse books and ensuring that we continue to have Black creatives in publishing is by reading, recommending, sharing, reviewing, and purchasing their books. And if sharing read aloud videos, please seek out ones that abide by copyright and don't take away from their ability to earn an income from their writing & art.
Due to committee commitments this year, I can't post about 2025 books, but I can share my resource from last year. This Virtual Picture Book Read Aloud Library is a Google Slideshow covering 233 titles, in 7 categories, with book covers linking directly to copyright-compliant video read alouds of recommended picture books. 
Categories include:
(a purposeful, intentional start with positive portrayals)
Black Joy & Magic
Families
Natural Hair
Empowering Stories
Black History
Excellence / Innovators / History Makers (Biographies)
Racial / Community Awareness
Use for February and any month!
