In My Mailbox (29)

In My Mail­box is a weekly meme hosted by Kristi @ The Story Siren and inspired by Alea @ Pop Cul­ture Junkie

You guys. I have dis­cov­ered Read It Swap It. And I have become addicted. I had 4 swaps arrive this week and all the books were in per­fect con­di­tion. I also won an amaz­ing com­pe­ti­tion on The Book Smug­glers and some of my good­ies arrived on Tues­day (appar­ently there’s more to come!) and I used up a book voucher in Foyles and a few other things…

*Happy dance*

Won

The Future of Us by Jay Asher and Car­olyn Mackler

Mixed reviews on this so far, but I’ve been want­ing to try it since I first heard about it months ago

Falling Fast by Sophie McKenzie

I’ve not read any­thing by this author yet but she has a lot of books and seems to be very pop­u­lar. Falling Fast sounds exactly like the kind of book I love.

Smoul­der by Brenna Yovanoff

Intrigued to try this one, it’s prob­a­bly not a book I would have cho­sen but you never know — I may end up lov­ing it!

Everneath by Brodi Ashton

So excited and *pretty*

*Many thanks to The Book Smug­glers and Simon and Schus­ter for the amaz­ing prize pack! Three of these four were on my wishlist!*

Swapped

Here­after by Tara Hudson

I’m sens­ing a ghostly theme here look­ing at these books lol.

The Body Finder by Kim­berly Derting

Been dying to read this since I found out what it was about!

Decep­tion by Lee Nichols

Hadn’t heard of this pre­vi­ously but saw it, looked up a few reviews and knew I had to get it. Ghost keep­ers, attrac­tive men­tors, what more could you ask for?

Look­ing For JJ by Anne Cassidy

I’m into mystery/thrillers right now so I can’t wait to read this.

UK Book Tours

Slide by Jill Hathaway

Very, very excited to read and review this one — it sounds bril­liant and the cover already creeps me out.

Bought

I’ll Be There by Holly Gold­berg Sloan

Every­one has been rav­ing about I’ll Be There and I adore the cover so I had to get it. I’ve already read it, so look out for my review soon. Lovely, lovely book.

After The Snow by S. D Crockett

This is only the first chap­ter but I picked up this lit­tle free book­let in Foyles and thought it was a great idea to get peo­ple inter­ested in a book.

The Secret Lives of Princesses by Philippe Lechermeier

This is my most pre­cious, made me dance for joy, mail­box book of the week. Rébecca Dautremer is my absolute favourite illus­tra­tor on the planet. Her work is just stun­ning. I have this book minia­ture size in french, but when I saw this gigan­tic ver­sion in Eng­lish I snapped it up and I’m incred­i­bly glad I did. Because this is a book you want to be able to read. Absolutely beautiful.

E-Book

Exis­tence by Abbi Glines

A cheap e-book on Ama­zon? Don’t mind if I do. Plus it was on my wish­list. One Click Buy — you make things too easy!

Library

Mist by Kathryn James

Vaguely remem­ber want­ing to read this so when I saw it in my local library I snapped it right up. I do remem­ber there was one very pos­i­tive review a while back that piqued my interest.

Sis­ters Red by Jack­son Pearce

I do love a fairy tale re-telling. Some peo­ple love this one, some peo­ple hated it, but I do want to read Sweetly, so I fig­ured I should try this one out first and see how I feel.
