In My Mailbox est un rendez-vous qui a été mis en place par Kristi du
blog The Story Siren et inspiré par Alea du blog Pop Culture Junkie.
C'est un moyen de partager les livres reçus chaque semaine dans notre
boîte aux lettres ainsi que les livres achetés ou empruntés à la
bibliothèque.

between defiance and surrender, between life and death.
Après être allée voir le film au cinéma, j'ai décidé d'acheter le livre car le film m'a donné envie de le lire. J'ai choisi de l'acheter en anglais car il était beaucoup moins cher qu'en français, et que je continue à ne plus acheter de livres en français. ^^
Chasing Brooklyn - Lisa Shroeder.
Résumé : Restless souls and empty hearts
Brooklyn can't sleep. Her boyfriend, Lucca, died only a year ago, and now her friend Gabe has just died of an overdose. Every time she closes her eyes, Gabe's ghost is there waiting for her. She has no idea what he wants or why it isn't Lucca visiting her dreams.
Nico can't stop. He's always running, trying to escape the pain of losing his brother, Lucca. But when Lucca's ghost begins leaving messages, telling Nico to help Brooklyn, emotions come crashing to the surface.
As the nightmares escalate and the messages become relentless, Nico reaches out to Brooklyn. But neither of them can admit that they're being haunted. Until they learn to let each other in, not one soul will be able to rest.

Ayant beaucoup aimé " I heart you, you haunt me ", et " Far from you " de la même auteur, et ce livre me tentant depuis des années, j'ai finalement craqué et l'ai acheté. ^^ Je suis pressée de le commencer, le résumé me plait beaucoup !
This may sound crazy - Abigail Breslin.
Résumé : Academy Award-nominated actress and musician
Abigail Breslin is your best friend in her publishing debut, a
collection of hilarious and heartfelt nonfiction essays on the subjects
nearest and dearest to our hearts: love, loss, and Tumblr.
Growing
up in film and the online era, Abigail knows better than anyone—it’s
rough out there in love-land. And this generation is ill-prepared to
handle it gracefully. Let’s be honest: if Cinderella had been on
Twitter, she’d have ended up a crazy old cat lady like the rest of us.
#realtalk
So when your “boyfriend” is liking different eligible
young things’ selfies, what’s a modern ingenue to do? Put down the
iPhone, step away from the hair dye, and ~chill~. Abbie is here with
cautionary tales and solid advice on being a classy-ass lady in the
digital age.
Because, girls, we’re more than what meets the newsfeed. And this may sound crazy…
But we’ve got this.
Plus,
this book is gorgeous inside and out. With a foil cover and heavily
designed interior, this collection will be the crowning jewel on any
teen’s nightstand.
Je suis tombée sur ce livre il y a quelques temps sur Amazon, et, Abigail Breslin étant une actrice que j'aime assez, je me suis laissée tenter. Je ne sais pas vraiment à quoi m'attendre, et j'ai très peur de regretter mon achat, mais je verrais bien. ^^
The opposite of loneliness : Essays and stories - Marina Keegan.
Résumé : Marina Keegan's star was on the rise when she graduated from Yale in May 2012. She had a play that was to be produced at the New York International Fringe Festival and a job waiting for her at the New Yorker. Tragically, five days after graduation, Marina died in a car crash.
As her family, friends and classmates, deep in grief, joined to create a memorial service for Marina, her unforgettable last essay for the Yale Daily News, 'The Opposite of Loneliness', went viral, receiving more than 1.4 million hits. She had struck a chord.
Even though she was just 22 when she died, Marina left behind a rich, expansive trove of prose that, like her title essay, captures the hope, uncertainty and possibility of her generation. The Opposite of Loneliness is an assemblage of Marina's essays and stories that articulates the universal struggle we all face as we work out what we aspire to be and how we can harness our talents to make an impact on the world.
Un livre qui me fait de l’œil depuis des mois. J'ai profité du fait que son prix ai légèrement baissé sur Amazon pour l'acheter. ^^ Je suis curieuse de le commencer, il a l'air assez intéressant. :)
Cloud Atlas - David Mitchell
Résumé : 1850 : Adam Ewing, notaire aventurier, découvre les aborigènes. 1931 : Robert Frobisher, jeune musicien, se met au service d'un compositeur de génie. 1975 : Luisa Rey, journaliste risque-tout, déjoue un complot nucléaire. Plus tard : le clone lettré Sonmi-451 est condamné à mort pour rébellion. Leur point commun : une étrange tache de naissance. Les couloirs de l'Histoire seraient-ils impénétrables ?
Un livre que j'ai envie de lire depuis que je l'ai vu au cinéma, et comme je suis tombée dessus ce matin en promo à seulement trois euros, j'ai sauté dessus ! =) J'espère qu'il n'est pas trop compliqué à lire, car je me rappelle que l'histoire du film était un peu complexe. ^^
Voilà pour cet In My Mailbox ! :)
