In My Mailbox (44-51): 2 months of mail!!!


In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by Kristi of The Story Siren, and inspired by Alea at Pop Culture Junkie! Participants are required to tell all about what they've received in the mail--anything bookish!

~~~~~

2 months may suggest piles upon piles of books, but actually the books have been trawling their way to my place. I only have 4 bought books to show for the 2 months so I'm more than pleased with myself. :P

Ahem.

Continue! :D



* All release dates go in the format (dd/mm/yy) X NONE THIS IMM

* Any books I have already read will have a sort of mini-review and the rating I have given it up now until written.

* = Up for swap

For Review:

* There are simply too many books to write up individual details and comments on. *

Thanks to everyone for the review copies!



BLOOMSBURY (AU)
  • Deception by Lee Nichols
  • Vicious Little Darlings by Katherine Easer
  • Tempest Rising by Tracy Deebs
  • Wolf Blood by N.M. Browne *
HACHETTE (AU)
  • Emblaze by Jessica Shirvington
    I have not read #2 yet, but after I received this book I made the decision to continue the series... Hopefully it gets better.
  • Shelter by Harlan Coben
    This looks really good! Coben seems to be really good at mystery/thrillers.

  •  The Girl in the Steel Corset by Kady Cross
  • Saving June by Hannah Harrington
    LOVE LOVE LOVE ~ my review up soon!

    Q: Online or Instore: are you a pre-orderer or a buyer?



    Me? I like pre-ordering, especially if it's been so long that I forget it's coming and then BAM it's there and it's a pleasant surprise!

    Happy Reading! Comment with your IMM links!

    Awesome haul! My mum just read Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children. She said it’s strange but very, very good!
    I haven’t posted an in my mailbox in over two and a half months. Eeep.

    It was HELL trying to catch up. This was meant to go up last week, actually, but I was too lazy. I only got 2 books this week so I don't need to catch up too badly. I like being able to see a whole stack of books for IMM but it's such a pain to gather everything up. Good luck getting back into it! I've heard so much about Peregrine - hopefully I won't be disappointed!
    Wowzas!! Great lot of books with many read. I really want Peregrine's. Mainly because of its neat presentation and I love those really crisp white pages (like I have with Levitathan series). Enjoy all the books I loved!

    I actually got this one for like $8 through that TBD trick that I told you guys about on Goodreads. You read like a boss, Braiden. I'm still hanging in there - heaps left to read but my bookshelves haven't collapsed yet. :P
    I still haven't read Hilary Duff's debut for fear it'll be absolutely terrible but the sequel seems to have a really pretty cover. I'm also curious about Blood Song even though I'm not usually a vamps fan.
    Some awesome-looking books here!! I've been hearing great things about Saving June and Hunting Lila, glad to see you loved both of them :)
    Wow, that's an awesome amount of books. I'm so jealous. I got Emblaze from Hachette last week or so, and I'm so excited to read it.
    Happy reading!

    Mars - my IMM
    Also, be sure to check out my first giveaway.
    Enjoy all your books - they all look so wonderful!
