For awhile I’ve been way to busy to bother with these What’s In My Mailbox? posts, but this week I wanted to make some time for it because I’ve received some great books for review and because I think you might want to check out some of them, too. Whether you’re into edgy contemporary YA, [...]

Lately I’ve been reading a lot of contemporary YA fiction, which I’m loving, but that doesn’t mean that paranormal novels are no longer without their attraction. If you like either of these genres, then maybe one of these books will peak your interest. In Valerie Sherrard‘s September 5, 2011 release, Testify, Shana Tremain has to [...]

It’s been a long while since I published anything on YABookShelf.com, and I’m really sorry if you were missing my regular posts. Life has been much busier for me in the last little while as I recently learned that I have to start eating a gluten free diet (to go along with my long time [...]

Every once in awhile, there is a book you hear about a few months or even nearly a year before it’s release that you just HAVE to read. Some of the books in this mailbox post are exactly like that for me, and maybe they’ll become that way for you, too, by hearing about them [...]

For those of you who have already read one or more of these or who are interested in [...]

After a few weeks of postal service issues in Canada, my mailbox has started to get filled up again with some exciting books. Whether you like contemporary YA, paranormal teen fiction, or dystopian YA, I’m sure that there will be some books for you to get excited about, too. Let me know which of these [...]
