Did you ever get a book you weren't expecting?

I just got a book in the mail today and I don't remember winning it in a contest and there's no note(not that I'm not happy to get it, because I am). I don't know if it's from the publisher and if I'm supposed to review it? Has this ever happened to you?

That's never happened to me before. I would think that if it were from a publisher it would have some kind of press release or something to go along with it, or possibly the packaging says who it is from?

I wouldn't mind receiving unsolicited books from publishers/authors that I have reviewed from before...being as how they know what I am interested in.

Hope you find out who it's from! Is it at least a book you'd be interested in reading? lol.
What was the book?!

I wish this was my problem...it's never happened to me though.
I got Extras by Scott Westerfeld--it's actually really weird because I've read all of the other books in the Uglies series except for this one.

It's actually awesome to get this, but it just bugs me not to know who sent this to me and if I'm supposed to write a review for it or not.
Yes, it started happening a few months ago after I signed up with a few small publishers. What urked me was that several of the books were nothing I would read or written so poorly I could not get past the first chapter. I started keeping a log of books I requested so when unsolicited books came in I could ignore them if I choose to. Thankfully no more bad books have arrived lately.
