In My Mailbox (December 6)

In My Mailbox is hosted weekly by Kristi.

The holidays are such a hectic, yet amazingly fun time. I have tried to limit my spending on books, so that I can spend more on buying gifts for others. So this week, I have two new books added to my collection.

Books Purchased:
Perfect You by Elizabeth Scott

(summary from Amazon): Kate Brown's life has gone downhill fast. Her father has quit his job to sell vitamins at the mall, and Kate is forced to work with him. Her best friend has become popular, and now she acts like Kate's invisible.

And then there's Will. Gorgeous, unattainable Will, whom Kate acts like she can't stand even though she can't stop thinking about him. When Will starts acting interested, Kate hates herself for wanting him when she's sure she's just his latest conquest.

Kate figures that the only way things will ever stop hurting so much is if she keeps to herself and stops caring about anyone or anything. What she doesn't realize is that while life may not always be perfect, good things can happen -- but only if she lets them...


Snow Queen by Emma Harrison

(summary from Amazon): Chamberlain Ski Resort and Spa

Welcome to the 10th Annual Snow Queen competition!

I can't believe I got roped into this.

Snow Princesses must attend all pageant rehearsals, with appropriate outfits.

Well, no matter what it takes, I'm going to wipe that smirk off Layla Chamberlain's face.

Our rehearsal space can be booked to practice your talent.

Um, does "looking dumb in a dress" count as a talent?

See Grayson Chamberlain, the assistant director, with any questions.

If you insist! First question: How can someone so sweet (and hot!) be a Chamberlain?

Good luck! One of you will soon be our new Snow Queen!

Oh joy.

Unless Grayson comes with the tiara . . .

Both of these sound great!
I've been wanting to read something by Elizabeth Scott for such a long time, I hate the fact that my local library has nothing by her.
Snow Queen sounds great too!

Enjoy your reading. :)

Ohh, Perfect You looks good! Sounds like a very cute romance. And Snow Queen looks like some ardorable chick-lit and just in time for the holidays. Happy reading! :)
