Another of my Booktopia orders arrived. While I’m not up to reading any of these yet, it’s good to know I have them for when I do. I’m really loving the Gods and Monsters cover, so I’m glad I picked it up. I can stop feeling jealous every time I walk past it in stores.

It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these–six months, I think. I’ve been meaning to post one sooner, but the weekends come and go too quickly and before I know it, it’s mid week and I think, oh, I’ll wait for the next one. Anyway, as you can see, I’ve gotten a few books. The stickered ones were a bargain at only $2 each. Impulse buying at its finest. I haven’t started Unearthly, but I thought I’d pick up Boundless while Big W have it readily available and round out my collection. It took a bit of work tracking down a movie cover copy of The Host, though. I’d expected it to be everywhere at the moment, but no, this one was hidden off on the bottom row, down by itself, in the adult fiction section. Now that I’ve finally got it, I plan on reading it very soon so I can see the movie after it. I’m about to go visit my family for the long weekend, so I’ll make sure I pop it in my bag with me.

What books have you gotten lately? And better yet, which ones are you tempted to pick up next?

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!

Dead Kiss by Daniel Waters (purchased)
Daughter Of Smoke And Bone by Laini Taylor (purchased)
Emblaze by Jessica Shirvington (purchased)
Department 19 by Will Hill (purchased)
Dark Angel by Eden Maguire (purchased)
Blood Rights by Kristen Painter (purchased)

I stopped in to Kmart on Friday to see if they had Angel Arias in a few days early. No such luck. I did however end up walking out with six books I hadn’t intended on buying. I didn’t particularly like this Daughter of Smoke and Bone cover when I’d seen stock photos online, but it looks a lot better in person. The shinyness won me over. Department 19 had been discounted to $4, so I grabbed it. It’s about some type of government conspiracy involving vampires. It’s going in my some day pile. I still need to start Jessica Shirvington’s series, since Emblaze is book three. I bought it thinking it might push me into making a move on those soon.
