In My Mailbox (20/08/11) & Week In Review

Friday, 19 August 2011



In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by The Story Siren, 
in which you post all of the books/e-books/audio books that you have recieved/bought/won this week and link 'em all up!

So yesterday I was up at 6am waiting for my exam results (ABBBC), after spending four hours celebrating passing my first year I then went to work, where they told me that they had to let me go, as there wasn't enough work for me and the managers (I was the only part time worker there), then just an hour later I end up scalding my finger with boiling hot water and going to hospital.
I was feeling pretty miserable until I got home to a parcel with five books in from Hachette.
Now I'm happy!

So anyway, here's my mailbox

For Review:

 

(ARC) Far Rockaway by Charlie Fletcher (Hodder Childrens, UK release: 1st September) - Never heard of this one, but it actually sounds amazing! 

(ARC) A Witch in Winter by Ruth Warburton (Hodder Childrens, UK release: 5th January 2012) - Wahhh, this sounds fantastic, not out until January! :)

(ARC) Abandon by Meg Cabot (Macmillan Childrens, UK release: October 7th)- Massive Meg Cabot fan and been after this forever, I would love the pretty UK cover, but I can't wait, so I'm happy I got this ARC!

Jessie Hearts NYC by Keris Stainton (Orchard) - I've already read and reviewed this here, so now I have two copies (and Keris promised me a signed copy!) (expect one of them as a giveaway prize for my 500 followers, when I get there!) - I currently have a giveaway for this going on, it is UK only and ends 3rd September - Here is the post

Dark Angel by Eden Maguire (Hodder Childrens) - This is one that I've been after for ages, the cover is gorgeous and I love Maguire's Beautiful dead series!

Ultraviolet by RJ Anderson (Orchard) - I've already read this, but haven't reviewed it yet, so I'm going to reread it so I can review it!


From NetGalley/Simon and Schuster GalleyGrab


Every Other Day  Drink, Slay, Love  The Pledge

The Way We Fall by Megan Crewe (Disney Hyperion, US Release - January 24th 2012) - This sounds amazing!

Every Other Day by Jennifer Lynn Barnes (Egmont USA, US Release - December 27th) - Just got this on a whim, but it looks like my thing!

Drink, Slay, Love by Sarah Beth Durst (Margeret K. McElderry, US Release - September 13th) - I loved her fairytale retellings so definitely going to try this.

The Pledge by Kimberly Derting (Margeret K. McElderry, US Release - November 15th) - OMG OMG OMG! Do you guys know how much I ADORE this author, and dystopic books? Do you guys KNOW how psyched I am... like, for real!

Won

Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins - I won this in a giveaway from Sally at the Elifylop. Heard great things about it!

Lottie Biggs is not Mad by Hayley Long and Secrets at st Jude's (New Girl) by Carmen Reid - both won from  Lvng Books

:O! Awesome books! Dark Angel and A Witch in Winter? You lucky thing! I'm dying to read those. Ultraviolet is awesome, by the way, and I loved Anna and the French Kiss :). Happy reading! :)

Misty said... Best Blogger Tips[Reply to comment]Best Blogger Templates

Aww, sorry you had a crappy day. :( I think sometimes the world conspires to make sure we get really big boxes of books on shitty days. At least, that's what usually happens to me and it definitely makes things better.

Love the cover for The Pledge.

ComaCalm said... Best Blogger Tips[Reply to comment]Best Blogger Templates

Oh wow, so many books! Glad you liked Ultraviolet, I plan to by that when the cover isn't metallic. Not a fan of the Dark Eden cover as the model is used for the Australian version of The Goddess Test and The Vespertine! Plus, she has fat ankles. :P
