As you can see, my mailbox went into overload this week. Lots of my bookdepository orders arrived (every single book packaged individually), but I still have a couple more I’m waiting on. I went to the city this week with my friend Brittany from Nice Girls Read Books and we stalked all the bookstores we could find. We nearly got stuck in a back alley tow away zone trying to find a park for one of the little independent bookshops. City driving, not fun… On top of the 12 books that arrived in the mail, I grabbed 6 at the shops on impulse and picked up 7 more from the big library in the city. Out of all of these, I’d read six already (Wake, My Soul To Take, Intertwined, Unraveled, Clockwork Angel and Infinity) but I needed them for my collection. I especially love the shiny foil coverslip on Clockwork Angel, it looks great sitting beside my TMI hardbacks.

Raised By Wolves by Jennifer Lynn Barnes (library)
Black Swan Rising by Lee Carroll (library)
Shadow Of The Vampire by Meagan Hatfield (library)
Old Magic by Marianne Curley (library)

None of my bookdepository orders arrived this week, hopefully they turn up soon. I did go to my local library however with Brittany from Nice Girls Read Books. I picked up these, hopefully I get time for them but I’ve got so much I want to read right now that I may have to renew them. If you’ve read any of these, let me know what you think I should get to first.

The Twilight Saga: Official Illustrated Guide by Stephenie Meyer (purchased)
Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick (purchased)
Crescendo by Becca Fitzpatrick (purchased)
Oliver Nocturne: Blood Ties by Kevin Emerson (library)
Conspiracy 365: February by Gabrielle Lord (library)
Unnatural by Michael Griffo (purchased)
The Morganville Vampires Vol III: Lord of Misrule & Carpe Corpus by Rachel Caine (purchased)

So these are the books I’ve bought & borrowed out this week. I read Hush, Hush a few weeks ago from my local library and loved it but they didn’t have Crescendo so I decided to get them both online. I found the shiny hardbacks cheap on AmazonUK so I quickly snapped them up. My copy of Unnatural arrived looking like the front corner had gotten wet in the post (it was dry when it arrived, but warped), but I couldn’t be bothered sending it back to the UK and waiting for a replacement to get to me so I guess I’ll just live with it (plus I’ve read it now. see my review). Another Morganville bind-up arrived this week as well, I really have to get back to reading them soon. If only I didn’t have university textbooks to read as well.

So these are the books I’ve bought in my first week of blogging. I finally received my copy of the second Morganville bind-up, so I’m going to be reading that soon. Firstly, I have to finish my last two library books (Shift and Alpha by Rachel Vincent) as they’re due back very soon. I really love the colours and design on the covers of Mercy and Exile by Australian author Rebecca Lim, they looked so good in store that I had to get them both straight away, hopefully the story stacks up.
