In My Mailbox #9
Posted in "Meme: In My Mailbox" • 18 Comments

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)

And because I felt like it:

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.

I didn’t do an IMM last week so here are my reviews from the past two weeks:
Barnes, Jennifer Lynn Raised By Wolves #1, Raised By Wolves
Carriger, Gail Parasol Protectorate #1, Soulless
Carroll, Lee Black Swan Rising #1, Black Swan Rising
Curley, Marianne Old Magic
Gray, Claudia Evernight #1, Evernight
Harvey, Alyxandra Drake Chronicles #2, Blood Feud
Hatfield, Meagan Shadow Of The Vampire
Jones, Carrie Need #3, Entice
Soule, Sherry Spellbound #1, Beautifully Broken
Westerfeld, Scott Peeps #1, Peeps
Williamson & Plec, Kevin & Julie Stefan’s Diaries #3, The Craving
