In My Mailbox is a meme hosted by The Story Siren, which allows bloggers to share what books they’ve received in the past week. They can be from stores, contests, tours or publishers!
• Warm Bodies by Isaac Marion (won)
• Blood Magic by Tessa Gratton (won)
• Hammered by Kevin Hearne (purchased)
• Angel by L.A. Weatherly (purchased)
• Fearscape by Simon Holt (purchased)
• Forgotten by Cat Patrick (purchased)
I tipped out every box and satchel I’d been accumulating in my cupboard since I started doing my shopping online. My room sat like this for six days, making it an expedition to get to my bookshelves without tripping over. It’s clean now finally, we backed the ute (truck – for my US readers) up to my window and threw it all out into the tray. I think this made me rethink my hoarding habits.
Thanks to O’Dell from BookTwirps for Warm Bodies and Blood Magic, which I won in a giveaway hop a few weeks ago. I hadn’t heard of the first one, but it sounds really good. I’m looking forward to getting into some zombie romance. Blood Magic, of course, I can’t wait to read. As you can see, my bookmark is sticking out of Angel, it’s good so far, but I’m only a chapter or so in. I’ve had Hammered and the paperback of Fearscape pre-ordered from Book Depository for a while and they finally turned up. I haven’t started either series, but I’ve got them all now, so I’ll get to them eventually. I read a sample of Forgotten on iBooks and I’ve seen good reviews, so I got myself a copy. There are so many different covers for this one, but I like this one better than the US one.

New follower mailboxing (it should be a word!) through!
LOVE the cover of Hammered – hadn’t heard of it, so am now off to stalk it! 🙂
Check out my mailbox?
Warm Bodies and Blood Magic look great. I think I would have died walking into that room. I can breathe now that you say it’s cleaned up. 🙂
I’m completely guilty of hoarding things like that, too. I need to clean my shelves off.
And that’s probably the 5th cover I’ve seen for Forgotten…and I still haven’t read it yet! Great haul!
I would really like to read that Warm Bodies. It sounds so cool!
Great list.
My IMM
Great set! I really want to read Soulless and Blood Magic. I enjoyed Warm Bodies.
My IMM
I really want Warm Bodies, I have Angel on my TBR pile. Blood Magic is amazing. I also see you have Old Magic – I read it a few years ago but I know I loved it!

That’s an awesome mailbox. It’s good you cleaned up your room, now you can get to your books! Good way to clean too. Should try that when I clean my friends house for him. (It’s a disaster and I’m one of those people where everything has it’s place LOL.)
Angel looks good! I got Hammered as well.

Warm Bodies is super-awesome! I love it even though it violates my no-kissable-zombies rule. It’s THAT good.
