Feeling a little bleary after waking up at 3.30 to register for Pottermore but: mission accomplished, so here's what's been hanging out in my mailbox for this past week!
Purchased:
Stork, Wendy DelSol
Amy & Roger's Epic Detour, Morgan Matson
The Maze Runner, James Dashner
Sunshine, Robin McKinley
Since I have the second book the series, Frost, for review I needed to pick up Stork. The cover for Stork loses its brilliance when translated to pixels - it has a lovely matte feel and a shimmer to it that you can't see in a picture. I've been mainly looking for paperbacks that at Border's as that's where the discount's better and when I saw Amy & Roger's Epic Detour sitting on the shelf I knew it was coming home with me. (It's actually the perfect sunny summer day out to read it...!) I've been wanting to read The Maze Runner forever now and now I can. I didn't see The Scorch Trials or else I'd have picked that up, too. And last but not least: Sunshine. The cover for this is a lovely holographic golden yellow with textured swirls and at about $6 or so I thought it was time I read a Robin McKinley novel.
What's in your mailbox, folks?

What pretty covers and what a nice looking blog. New follower. Come visit me over at Livre De Amour-Books of Love Blog.
I nearly didn't recognise Amy and Roger's Epic detour - the UK cover is so different!
Great books - Happy reading :)
I've been wanting to read Stork, simply because I love the cover. I didn't realize it is part of a series. Guess I'll have to start at the beginning. Hope you enjoy!
Great digs. Sunshine looks awesome!

I really enjoyed Stork! I need to read Amy and Roger soon! Happy Reading!
Ah! Amy and Roger! LOVED that book! I hope you enjoy it. Stork was different. I liked it, didn't love it, but I hope you enjoy it :)

you got some great books this week! I really want Amy and Rogers epic detour and The Maze Runner sounds brilliant! I hope you enjoy!
I love Amy & Roger's Epic Detour! It's one of my favorite reads this year. I liked Stork, too. Happy reading!
I absolutely ADORE Robin McKinley! She's one of my favorite authors. I'm curious to hear what you think about Sunshine, because I haven't read that one yet.
The Maze Runner is one of my favorite books. Stork looks super pretty, but I haven't read it yet :D
Happy Reading!My IMM

Great set! I loved Sunshine, but it is different from most of Robin's books. I want to read Amy and Roger's Epic Detour.

I have Amy & Roger on my shelf along with The Maze Runner... I've got to get to those! Also, the cover for Sunshine looks very pretty! I wish I lived in the US so I could go to the Borders closing sales...

I adore Stork!! =) I am looking forward to reading Frost when I can eventually get to my October review pile. =P Hope you enjoy all the others as well. =)
Hi, Kaye! Thanks for stopping by. :) I love Robin McKinley's books. I haven't read Sunshine yet, but I really enjoyed Spindle's End (a Sleeping Beauty variation) and Deerskin (a variation on a Brothers Grimm story), plus a couple of others besides. I hope you enjoy!
I've been hoping to read The Maze Runner soon. Vacation is coming, and I need to choose which books to bring. Happy reading!
All those have gorgeous covers!
