In My Mailbox is a meme started by Kristi of The Story Siren in which bloggers post any new books they have on their shelves that week - received, bought, begged, borrowed.
I know I haven't been posting recently but it's my last semester of uni and I've got a lot of assignments to finish. Thats not to say that I haven't been secretly stalking each and everyone of your blogs as my procrastination :) In a totally not creepy sort of way.
I have also be buying lots of books. Every time I achieve something small at uni I reward myself with a present.
Seer of Sevenwaters (Sevenwaters #5) by Juliet Marillier. Seriously. Love. Juliet! Thanks again for the interview.
Huntress by Malinda Lo. This looks really cool. Who says you should not judge a book by it's cover. We all do.
The Last Four Things (The Left Hand of God #2) by Paul Hoffman. The first book wasn't my favourite. It was a very cynical and dark story but I really want to know what is going to happen.
Supernaturally (Paranormalcy #2) by Kiersten White YAY! What more can I say?
Wolfsbane (Nightshade #2) by Andrea Cremer. A good read so far, but the first novel was infinitely better. I just hope the third one is worth waiting for.
The Woman Who Loved Reindeer by Meredith Ann Pierce. I have been looking for this book everywhere! I used to read it at the beginning of every school year but have not been able to find my own copy since I graduated three years ago. YAY.
Sage for Sanctuary (Janna Mysteries #5) by Felicity Ann Pulman. This is like a Cadfael novel for juniors. Review coming soon.
Brave New World (Brave New World #1) by Aldous Huxley. This book took so much sweat, guts and tears to read when I was at school, I thought it only right I should own a copy. Whenever anyone comes to the house I intend to point and shout "I'VE READ THAT!"
Wuthering Heights (Vintage Classic Promo) by Emily Brontë. A true classic.
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: Dawn of the Dreadfuls (Pride and Prejudice and Zombies prequel) by Steve Hockensmith, Jane Austen. I'm not quite sure why I bought this one. I'm not really a horror type person. But seriously who can walk past Pride and Prejudice with Zombies?
That's all from me today. What's in your mailbox?

Wow, great mailbox - I'm still in cover awe of Huntress. I don't even know what it's about and it's going on my wishlist. So yes you are right we do judge books by their covers. I also love the cover to Seer of Sevenwaters. I am going to have to check that series out. I am saddened to hear that Wolfsbane isn't as good as Nightshade. I loved Nightshade and was so looking forward to Wolfsbane, but haven't managed to add Wolfsbane to my TBR pile yet. Enough talking for now, enjoy your new books and have a great reading week.

ReplyDeleteHi Misty!
ReplyDeleteI received my copy of Book 1&2 of the Janna Mysteries by Felicity Pulman yesterday. Thank you for hosting the giveaway!
I too bought a parody book which is a take off of Little Women (Little Vampire Women!). I couldn't resist either!

Huntress looks awesome. That reminds me, I need to read The Last Four Things. I've read Supernaturally already.
ReplyDeleteAre there any September releases you plan on getting? I have a list on my blog.
