Mailbox Monday (52)

Every month Mailbox Monday moves to a new host. Which means since tomorrow is the last Monday of October, for the last time this month, we're linking up at Book Dragon's Lair to share the books we've picked up recently.
Mailbox Monday
Borrowed from a Friend
Triangles by Ellen Hopkins
I believe the exact words of the friend who lent this to me were, "I can't decide if I love it or hate it." Definitely a summary that piques your interest right? It's written in verse which is always fun, and I have heard that it's less risque than the cover makes it out to be. So we'll see if I'm less conflicted with this.

What did you find in your mailbox this week? And what's the last book you read where you really weren't sure how you felt about it?

Also, I'm currently participating in Dara's giveaway! I'm giving away ad space as well as my ARC of The Apple Orchard. Plus there's several other items you'd win from the other bloggers! Please use the rafflecopter giveaway below to enter, and be sure to comment on this post for that extra entry.

    I've only read one Ellen Hopkins book: Identical. And I didn't like it. I'm not sure if it was the verse format, or just that particular book.

    Hope you enjoy it,though, and thanks for visiting my blog.

    I picked up a couple of books from the library yesterday, one of which is called "Liberating Paris" which I am reading for an online bookclub. I thought it was sent in Paris, France. Nope, it's set in Paris, Arkansas! I did buy books this week, but they were baby books for a baby shower!

    I've read conflicting reviews about Triangles. I've never read a book in verse but some bloggers have tried it and loved it so I guess until I try I wouldn't know if this format is something I would like.

    I haven't read Triangles yet, though I love Hopkins' writing, and verse novels in general. Hope you enjoy!

    I have a student this year who LOVES Ellen Hopkins, but her writing's a little too intense for me.

    I have one of her books on my shelf. It might be that one. The cover looks familiar. I'll be interested to hear what you think.

    I love Ellen Hopkins but that wasn't my favorite of her books. My mother loved it.

    I haven't bought a book in several months (yay unemployment) but I think the last one I was conflicted about was a Jodi Picoult book I read. It was good, but...I don't know where to put my finger on why it didn't 100% resonate with me.
