In My Mailbox (30)
In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by Kristi @ The Story Siren and inspired by Alea @ Pop Culture Junkie
I haven’t done a mailbox for a few while — so here are the books I have bought, swapped or received the last 3 weeks or so.
Poppy decided she wanted to be part of my mailbox this week and had fun batting the books as I tried to photograph them.
Bought
The Traitor in the Tunnel by Y.S Lee
I love this series and have finally got round to buying and reading the third book — which was just as great, if not better, than the previous two. I can’t think about this book without smiling and it’s all James Easten’s fault!
Betrayal by Lee Nichols
Picked this up for a £1 from Emma of Goodreads. Not the best series out there, but I was intrigued enough by Deception to find out what happens next. I love ghost books.
Grass for His Pillow and Heaven’s Net is Wide by Lian Hearn
I have the first book of this series and I’m certain I did read the others when I was younger but I can’t really remember them.
The Queen of Attolia by Megan Whalen Turner
Very excited to read this!!! I hear nothing but gushing about these books and I just finished The Thief last night.
May B by Caroline Starr Rose
This is a beautiful, beautiful looking book. I cannot wait to read this, which will be my first YA in verse, I think.
Swapped
The Language of Flowers by Vanessa Diffenbaugh
Wanted this one for a long while now. Unfortunately it didn’t arrive quite in the condition it was listed as.
Hidden by Miriam Halahmy
Not many reviews of this one on goodreads but it sounds like a great story and it’s signed.
The 39 Clues: The Maze of Bones by Rick Riordan
Big fan of Riordan but haven’t felt the urge to read this series as I know it’s written by different authors. However I have been told that it’s a fantastic series, so I finally gave in.
UK Book Tours
Under the Never Sky by Veronica Rossi
I was so excited to see this on UK Book Tours I was the first to sign up lol. Unfortunately this turned out to be a disappointing read for me — review to come!
Sent for Review
Words in the Dust by Trent Reedy
The Considine Curse by Gareth P. Jones
The Truth About Celia Frost by Paula Rawsthorne
E-Book
Obsidian by Jennifer L. Armentrout
What was in your Mailbox this week?
I need The Traitor in The Tunnel so badly! I just finished the second book and I think it’s one of my favourite series. Happy reading! :)
39 Clues are pretty fun. I’ve only read the first 2 books but I enjoyed them. Happy reading!
I’ve read books one and two in the Deception series. I agree that it’s not the best, but I’ve enjoyed it enough to stay with the series. Looking forward to finishing the last one. I can’t wait to read your review of Under The Never Sky! It’s gotten so much attention, I want to hear what you didn’t like. I have yet to read it. I’m bookmarking your page so I’ll remember where you are!
Yay, I’m so happy to hear that you’ll pick up Traitor in the Tunnel! More James and Mary goodness. :)
awesome books that you’ve got this week. We both have Under the Never Sky. I am so jealous of you Obsidian. I want to read it so badly!
have fun reading!

Obsidian is AMAZING! And Poppy looks excited about Under The Never Sky! I think she was the best addition to your mailbox, btw. :) (Yea, I’m a cat person/crazy cat lady, haha)
Here’s my IMM!
Lovely mailbox! I’ve read The Language of Flowers, and it’s a gorgeous book! I hope you like it! Enjoy all your reads! :)
Lol I agree — although she’s not new bless her. She’s been making mischief for me for over 13 years now ;) Always nice to meet a fellow cat person :D
GREAT books! I just finished reading May B. and I really enjoyed it.
Aww Poppy is adorable. I haven’t gotten to read Under A Never Sky yet– sorry to hear it was disappointing. Obsidian is a fun read.
Great set! I really want to read Megan Whalen Turner’s books. I’ve heard great things.
