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!

Soul Screamers: Vol 1 by Rachel Vincent (purchased)
Reckoning by Lili St. Crow (purchased)
Under The Never Sky by Veronica Rossi (purchased)
Unleashed by Nancy Holder & Debbie Viguie (purchased)
The Return: Nightfall by L.J. Smith (library)
The Return: Shadow Souls by L.J. Smith (purchased)
The Return: Midnight by L.J. Smith (purchased)
Stefan’s Diaries: The Ripper by Kevin Williamson & Julie Plec (purchased)

Lots of The Vampire Diaries this week. I read books two to four of the original series after getting a random craving and ended up getting sucked back in. I had to get more so that’s how I ended up with the next three L.J. Smith books and the fourth book in the Stefan spinoff. I double dipped and bought the Soul Screamers omnibus because I wanted the My Soul To Lose prequel in print. I’m guessing that’s their selling strategy. I still haven’t started the Strange Angels series but at least I have them all now for whenever I get around to it. I wasn’t intending on purchasing this cover for Under The Never Sky, I was going to get the pink and white one, but when I saw it instore early here in Australia I couldn’t wait. Finally, Unleashed was one I ordered a couple weeks ago. I haven’t read a lot of werewolf books, I’m more into vampires myself, but the cover intrigued me. It reminds me a bit of Fallen.

Here are my latest reviews if you want to check them out:
Barnes, Jennifer Lynn, Every Other Day
Smith, L.J. The Vampire Diaries #2, The Struggle
Smith, L.J. The Vampire Diaries #3, The Fury

Mouth-Watering Monday is a new weekly meme started by Brittany at Nice Girls Read Books. As book bloggers, we love to admire pretty covers, old and new. This meme takes the guilt out of judging a book by its cover, instead embracing it and showing off our favourite finds of the week!

You can show off one or more of your most mouth-watering covers!

Unleashed by Nancy Holder & Debbie Viguie

Okay, so they’re the same book. I actually love both covers and can’t decide on which one to purchase. I’ve got them both in my cart at the moment, still pondering. The blue one looks a little Fallen-ish, but has that awesome looking full moon up the top. And the green one, it has that eye staring back at you. It reminds of the redesigned cover for Reckless by Cornelia Funke. What are your thoughts?
