GIVEAWAY: The Midwife's Confession

The Midwife's Confession by Diane Chamberlain

The Midwife's ConfessionDear Anna,
What I have to tell you is difficult to write, but I know it will be far more difficult for you to hear, and I'm so sorry…

The unfinished letter is the only clue Tara and Emerson have to the reason behind their close friend Noelle's suicide. Everything they knew about Noelle—her calling as a midwife, her passion for causes, her love for her friends and family—described a woman who embraced life.

Yet there was so much they didn't know.

With the discovery of the letter and its heartbreaking secret, Noelle's friends begin to uncover the truth about this complex woman who touched each of their lives—and the life of a desperate stranger—with love and betrayal, compassion and deceit.

In My Mailbox (11)

In My Mailbox is a meme hosted by Kristi at The Story Siren; here we share with you, the lovely readers, what books came to us this week whether it be in the mail, from the library, purchased or borrowed.

On a sad note, I have to announce that I will not be having any more vlogs for the time being. Since my laptop was stolen, my desktop does not have the appropriate decoding information for the videos I record with my phone. As excited as I was, I don't even have the heart to take pictures right now but here is what was In My Mailbox...


From the Library...
Betrayed by P.C. Cast + Kristen Cast

Won from Book Expo America...
ARC of The Midwife's Confession by Diane Chamberlaine
Something Inside of Me by Chikota Webb

Betrayed is the second book in The House of Night series; the first book wasn't thrilling so I hope this book eludes to better things given the length of the series!

I already own a copy of The Midwife's Confession so I will be hosting a giveaway to share this ARC with someone else! Be on the lookout for the details and/or review later this summer!

The awesome thing about Chikota Webb's book is that it was signed personally to me:

Dear Leila: Give it ALL you got! Chikota Webb

That was pretty awesome and it really made my day!

What did you get in your mailbox?!

I won...
The Midwife's Confession by Diane Chamberlain
I won this from Colloquium!

I Bought...
Delirium by Lauren Oliver
Hex Hall by Rachel Hawkins
Crave by Melinda Metz & Laura Burns

From the Library...
The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
Silver Phoenix by Cindy Pon

When I visited the Half Priced Used Book Store for their Memorial Day Sale (20% off!), I happened to spot Crave off the bat and seeing that it is my recent new love, I of course had to have it. I may have pulled some things that were not in proper shopping etiquette but that lady didn't seem interested! And with 20% off how could I resist getting some other titles I have been wanting to read?! You're right, I couldn't!

My public library summer reading program (which I may blog about later) started this week and when I stopped to grab a reading log, I spotted Silver Phoenix and COULDN'T let it sit there; not when I am so eager to read it! And I have to admit that I wasn't prepared to receive The Hunger Games, I was 27th in line for it but they have so many copies it only took about a week!

Thanks again, Colloquium!

Be sure to let me know what you got in your mailbox! 

PS. Due to the recent events I recently explained and the fact that I have ended up sick, even though this was a vlog worthy haul, its a picture this week!
