In My Mailbox is a place to showcase your new books,
whether you obtained them through the post or otherwise.
First of all, I want to apologise for the lack of posts this week! I can tell you that I've just finished reading Welcome, Caller, This is Chloe by Shelley Corriel in preparation for Blog Tour that's coming soon! The book is released in May and I do think it's one to look out for! Keep an eye our for my review coming soon!
Onto the mailbox...
I got some very exciting and fun looking ARCs and books for review this week! They included Arcadia Awakens, Drive By, Girl Parts, Brave New Love, In The Snow, Broods Of Fenrir (Thanks Coral!), Dear Dylan..., Cold Hands, Warm Heart, How to Keep a Boy as a Pet and the first two in the Hattori Hachi Trilogy, Stalking the Enemy and The Revenge of the Praying Mantis. I'm going to be very busy but I love the sound of these!
I swapped five books this week and received these in return! I'm very excited to read Shooting Stars, Della Says: OMG! and Slide - I've heard some good things about them all. Not my usual genre, but One Good Turn is a quick read story about WW1 which really fascinates me. I thought I should try out One for the Money too - It doesn't sound like my kind of thing at all, but after the rave reviews I've heard, I'll give it a chance!
I was so disappointed to learn that my local independent book store (Appleby's in Morpeth) is closing down - it's been there ever since I can remember! They were having a closing down sale though, so I did manage to pick up some half price books - they included Cross My Heart, Witches of the East, Seeing Emily, Boy Proof, Chloe Leiberman, Confessions of a Serial Kisser, Cycler, One Girl, Two Decks, Three Degrees of Love, Catwalk, Grave Minder, Huntress, The Game, Breaking Up is Really, Really Hard to Do and the book with possibly my favourite cover EVER - The Language of Flowers!
Even after buying all those yesterday, I couldn't resist going out and buying some more books that I've been wanting to get my hands on for a while - The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer, Everneath and Someone Else's Life!
Woot! Awesome mailbox :D So many good books ;) Hope you will enjoy it all. <3
ReplyDeleteLove, Carina @ Carina's Books

ReplyDeletehope you enjoy everneath
Um... so yeah, you're going to be busy for quite some time lol! So many books, I'm really envious! Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteShae @ Understanding Shae's Story
Serious overhaul you've got here! Can't wait to read the reviews for most of these. And your local bookstore is closing! That's really sad, I'm sorry! I love my local independent bookstore and if it closed I'd be heartbroken. :( But it's nice that you got a lot of books at their closing down sale.
ReplyDeleteSo many great books-- a lot of them are in my own TBR pile. I hope you love Mara Dyer as much as I did/do! It was my absolute favorite book of '11.
ReplyDeleteHappy reading! :)
Hi, Steph!
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by and commenting on my Shelf Candy Saturday post!! Much appreciated!
I'm looking at all the books in your mailbox, and my mouth is hanging open. You are SO VERY LUCKY!!! WOW!! What a tremendous haul!! I sure hope you enjoy them all!! (Excuse me while I go put on some foundatation...my face is starting to turn this weird shade of green...lol.) Thanks for sharing!!
I'm so sorry your local bookstore is closing... we had a similar experience here in Miami, Florida (USA), as well as worldwide, when the famous Border's chain closed... Thank God we still have Barnes & Noble!! I sure hope you can find another bookstore close to you. If not, there's always The Book Depository, as well as Amazon! And, of course, eBay!! I know it won't be quite the same, though. To me, there's nothing quite like walking into a bookstore, and seeing all those shelves full of lovely books!!!! Ah, bliss!!!

You got so many cool looking books this week! Everneath and Shooting Stars were both amazing. The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer is one of the best books I have ever read. I hope that you enjoy your new books!

ReplyDeleteMariska (old follower)
Love the owls! They are too cute.
ReplyDeleteYou got quite a haul this week. I think How to Keep a Boy as a Pet might be the funniest title I've heard in a while. Enjoy your books!
Jessica at Simply Infatuated
What a great selection of books! I am so very sorry that it comes at the cost of your Indie Bookstore. It would break my heart beyond belief if the Dickson Street Bookshop ever closed down - I can trace the growth of my love for reading within its cramped walls.
ReplyDeleteHi Stephanie, how are you?
ReplyDeleteOf those books you've received I read some books ! My favorite of these is Della says : OMG. I think you'll like too.
I'm following your blog. Please "like" my page on facebook. It's there on my blog.
Good Weekend.

"Arcadia Awakens" is one of my favorite YA debuts this year - I hope you like it as much as I do! You have a seriously nice haul here, and I hope you love all of these books. They're either sound or are all awesome, to me, anyway. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my IMM!
Great bunch of books!
ReplyDeleteNice Haul! I really want to read girl parts. Slide and Someone else's life look really good to. You got a great bunch of books. Hope you enjoy them all.
ReplyDeleteWow! So many great books! I really want to read The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer too!!
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute site and layout also! :)
WOW!! so many great books this week--there's a few titles there that i want to get my hand on myself. enjoy and happy reading :)

That's a lot of books! I love Norse mythology, so I'll have to look into BROODS OF FENRIR.
ReplyDeleteAs for the books you bought, I wasn't big on Cycler but I love its sequel Recycler.
One for the Money is HILARIOUS!!! I started writing down quotes as I was reading it, because they were just so memorable! :)
ReplyDeleteAnd I am really looking forward to reading "Someone Else's Life"!

ReplyDeleteYou have a lovely, interesting blog here. Very colorful. Thanks for stopping by my sight and leaving a nice comment. So nice to "meet" you.
Have a good week. Happy reading.
Interesting array! I read Boy Proof a while back, and it taught me about paring down my writing style, as it is bare bones but very cool (and when I read it I was overwriting a bit). Love that After the Snow cover. Beautiful cover art!
ReplyDeleteBTW, following you now here & at Goodreads.
What a fabulous blog! You got a ton of fantastic books! I hate hearing about indie stores closing down but at least you went and showed your last bit of support =). Thanks for stopping by the blog =). I am a new follower now! Can't wait for all your reviews! Especially Melissa de la Cruz' book! First adult attempt.. I am excited =).
ReplyDeleteHoly Crow... what an awesome load of books this week... I thought I got a lot!! :) If I were to pick a favourite, it would have to be Shooting Stars... just love that cover!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by and for the follow! (I am now a follower of your blog)
Lindsay @ Turning the Pages
Wow! What a great haul! And, sorry about your favorite Indie. It's always a shame when one closes. Thanks for stopping by IMM. I'm adding your blog to my feeder. Looking forward to your reviews
