In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by The Story Siren. The books you share do not have to be ones you actually received in the mail. They can be ones you bought at the book store, checked out at the library, or downloaded to your e-reader. The idea is just to share what's on your TBR pile for the upcoming week.
For review from Harper Children's Audio:
The Last Little Blue Envelope by Maureen Johnson
Thanks to Berkley Publishing Group for sending me a finished copy of

The Astonishing Life of Octavian Nothing Traitor to the Nation Volume I: The Pox Party by M.T. Anderson
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
Can you believe I haven't read this book yet? There are so many modern retellings out there that I figured I need to read the original to really appreciate the retellings. My goal is to get schooled in more classic literature this summer.

OMG! the illustrations in this book are GORGEOUS!!!! This was an impulse buy that's for sure! I was seduced by the loveliness between the covers!
You Had Me at Woof: How Dogs Taught Me The Secrets of Happiness by Julie Klam
I bought this book because the adorably awkward Boston Terrier on the cover reminds me so much of my pug Guenter:
