In My Mailbox:

The Kindling of Greenfyr by Mark Freeman (Signed) - For Review
Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick - I have no idea why I got this. I didn't win it and got no e-mails from the publisher or author, so I'm confused.
Meri Strikes Back by M. Apostolina - Contest Win
The Black Sheep by Yvonne Collins and Sandy Rideout - Contest Win
NurtureShock by Po Bronson and Ashley Merryman - Contest Win

I love The Midnighters...kind of a guilty pleasure, as they're not very well written, but nontheless entertaining.
