In My Mailbox is a place to showcase your new books
First of all, I have to say a huge thanks to Nina at Death, Books and Tea for sending me a copy of Night School. It looks great and I can't wait to get around to reading it!
Some fantastic ARC and review copies came into my home this week. I received a copy of Article 5 from America and I'm so excited to see if it lives up to all it's hype! I'm also looking forward to see what Michael Grant is offering in his new series, starting with BZRK. I love the covers of Hollow Pike and Dead Rules, so I'm keen to see whether the contents are just as good! I hadn't heard much about Unravelling before I got my hands on this copy, but it sounds like it's going to be very popular! As for a bit of a lighter read, I'll be reading My Family and Other Freaks.
I only made two swaps this week, but I think that they were good ones! I received some realistic fiction -Between Mom and Jo as well as some vampire goodness - Lucinda, Darkly.
I came out of Waterstones in Newcastle with my hands full this weekend and a huge smile on my face! They were having a sale and I picked up some great bargains. I am very excited for them all - I picked up Breathing, The Tear Collector, Her and Me and You, Nothing Like You, Food, Girls and Other Things I Can't Have, The Not Quite Perfect Boyfriend, Compulsion, The Scorpio Races. I also picked up Early To Death, Early To Rise and Zenith, both seconds in series so I need to read the first books too, but thankfully they are sitting on my bookshelf! I have had my eyes on My Girlfriend's a Geek for a few weeks and they had the second volume in the sale, so I bought that and ordered the first! I also picked up Real Live Boyfriends, the fourth Ruby Oliver installment.
This was my most exciting purchase this week. A very expensive copy of A Book of Dreams by Peter Reich that I won by auction! I've had my eye on this for a very long time but it's no longer in publication and so it's pretty hard to obtain. I am so excited to finally have a copy!
Wow, that's quite a load of books, I miss shopping at Waterstones! :( But I love that cover My Family and Other Freaks! :)

I do love it when Waterstones has a sale on! And you have Article 5 - I really want to get my hands on that at some point...enjoy your reading this week!
ReplyDeleteWow, a post full of bookish awesomeness! Dying to read so many of these, so I really hope that you'll enjoy all of them! :)
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely week,
Carina
Wow you got a ton of books this week! Night School looks amazing but I think it is a UK release meaning I'll have to wait for it since Book Depository never seems to have UK books for US people in stock!
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy everything you got including the one you were super excited to get at the auction!
Happy reading!
Very nice. Never heard of Night School. The cover is beautiful for it though.

Bzrk looks really good. I'll have to check that out. I hope you enjoy everything you got this week! Come check out my IMM!
ReplyDeletehttp://paigebradish1996.blogspot.com/2012/02/in-my-mailbox-20.html
Wow. That's A LOT of books. I can't believe you did that well in Waterstones - I can never find a single thing I even vaguely want to read in their sales. Clearly I need to start stalking the Newcastle branch!
ReplyDeleteI've heard wonderful things about Article 5, so I can't wait to see what you think of that one. The Scorpio Races has gotten some amazing reviews too, but it just doesn't appeal to me. Not sure why, but there you go :)
Wow, that's an amazing batch of books! I'm really looking forward to Article 5, fingers crossed it's as good as everyone says it is. :) Happy reading!

ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about Waterstones sales. I get giddy whenever I see one and just about blow all my money. Enjoy all your books :D
ReplyDeleteThanks for the mention! I hope you enjoy Night School. And all the others. And thanks for all the stuff you sent me back -very pretty and much appreciated.
ReplyDeleteNina @ Death Books and Tea
Holy smokes! Lovely mailbox; so many books! I can't wait to dive into The Scorpio Races and Article 5. I have heard nothing but great things. I'm insanely jealous of all the books you got. They all look really good and I definitely wants. lol Oh, and the book you got from an auction (A Book of Dreams) totally cool. I've never bought something through auction.
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy all those book <3 :)
Thanks for stopping by my IMM. I am now a new follower!

WOW, you scored big! These books look awesome. Hollow Pike and Lucinda, Darkly have caught my eye--perhaps I'll check them out. Enjoy all of your books! =)
ReplyDelete-Shanon @ Escaping With Fiction
These are a really great looking haul of books. I just read something really positive about Article 5, so I also hope it lives up to its hype. Happy reading :)
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed Breathing and Tear Collector and hope you do too.
ReplyDeleteWow, that's an impressive haul. I wouldn't know which one to read first.
ReplyDeleteRamblings of an Anonymous Reader
Night School sounds awesome, as does Article 5! I'm also really curious about BZRK, I don't know much about it to be honest.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read Early to Death...yet but book 1 was a fun read.
And Compulsion! Hadn't heard of it but the OCD aspect sounds really intriguing, appeals to my inner psych major haha.
Thanks for visiting and happy reading :)
That's quite the haul!!
ReplyDeleteand with so many awesome looking books!!
And congrats on winning that book :D
That's a cool cover for Scorpio Races! Haven't seen that particular cover before. Is it the paperback cover?
ReplyDeleteLauren @ Hughes Reviews
Awesome books this week! I have a copy of Compulsion too but haven't gotten to it yet. Article 5 looks really good! Hope you enjoy all of these, happy reading!
ReplyDeleteWow, awesome books you got!
ReplyDeleteI also really want to read Unravelling and Article 5, heard good things about them.
Hope you enjoy your new books, and thanks for stopping by my IMM =D
Wow! Humongous set this week! A lot of interesting books. I've seen Night School everywhere. Need to check it out. Zenith, Unraveling, and Sunny look like awesome reads.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by,

I really like that instead of just listing the titles, you share how you got them or what you think about them in a narrative form. I like that about you!
ReplyDeleteHappy reading of all of the books!
than you for stopping by my blog! Following you
ReplyDeleteHi! Just letting you know that I have tagged your blog in a book tag - see http://storybookloveaffair.blogspot.com.au/2012/02/book-tag.html for more info. I really love your blog and hope that you will participate because I'd love to read your answers!
ReplyDeleteMegan @ Storybook Love Affair
Great set! Unraveling looks interesting. I hope you love your books.
ReplyDeleteMy IMM
Looks like you've gotten a ton of amazing books this week! :D I'm a new follower and can't wait to see what you think of Night School!
ReplyDeleteI love the cover of Sunny and Night School. The latter sounds extremely interesting and reminds me a bit of the manga Vampire Knight, which I enjoy. It has a night and day school setting as well. Enjoy reading!
ReplyDeleteHere's my Mailbox.
Article 5 sounds really good. Hope you enjoy it;)
ReplyDeleteWow, this is one of the biggest IMM posts I've ever seen--and so much exciting stuff!
ReplyDeleteI was so curious after you said you won that Peter Reich book in an auction. I went and read up on it on Goodreads and WHOA. What a weird story! I'm definitely interested now but it seems it might be a hard one to come by since it is out of print.
I tried BZRK but couldn't get into it right away (wrong mood) but I hope it works out for you. Happy reading! It will take you ages to finish all these wonderful books:)
OMGoodness! So many great books that I don't know where to begin. Many will be added to my TBR list! BTW...love your blog design :) Thanks for stopping by!
