In My Mailbox (18)

Here's what I got in my mailbox this week! Clicking on the titles will take you to the book's Goodreads page. 

Original Sin by Lisa Desrochers

Signed and personalized. Won from Lisa's blog. I was so excited for this because I have a signed copy of Personal Demons. I haven't read the series yet, because I'm waiting for Last Rite to be released. Speaking of, that little note in the bottom left is from Lisa, telling me not to even open the book because the very first sentence is a spoiler. And then some signed bookmarks I can giveaway.

The Sharp Time by Mary O'Connell

An ARC from Random Buzzers. 

From Fame to Shame by Veronica Blade

Received from Ashley at What's Your Story? for a blog tour.

What did you get in your mailbox this week!?

In My Mailbox (16)

I know, I know. I have been such an AWFUL blogger latetely. Bt if it makes you feel any better, I haven't really done much reading or writing lately either. Just lots of crap going down in my life, and I've got bigger priorities than blogging, as much as I sometimes wish otherwise. So, without further ado, I present to you the fabulous books I have received the past 2 weeks. Clicking on the title will take you to the Goodreads page.

Soul Screamers Volume One by Rachel Vincent

Holy balls, I am beyond siked for this. I have been wanting to read this series for forever and ever and ever. I feel like everyone and their friggin dog has read this series and I am so happy to have the first two and a half bound into one gorgeous volume!

Don't Let Me Go by J.H. Trumble

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGGGGG. This book is amazeballs. I'm so in love with it. I borrowed the ARC from Brent Taylor at Naughty Book Kitties, and I fell so hard for it that I bought the final copy, and OMG I CANNOT STOP STROKING IT AND STARING AT IT AND LOVING IT. You can read my review for this fabulous work of art here.

The Iron King by Julia Kagawa

Once again, everyone has read this book. And adored it. And I haven't. I borrowed this from my English teacher, which is super awesomesauce because I have never had an English teacher who loves YA. She loaned this to me because it is her favorite book. I've already started it and it's really good.

Starters by Lissa Price

Hollyweird by Terri Clark

Ferocity Summer by Alissa Grosso

Croak by Gina Damico

YAYAYAYAYAYAY! This book looks absolutely fabulous and I have wanted to read it since the very second I heard about it.

In My Mailbox (15) - Stolen Books Edition

STOLEN BOOKS EDITION

Let me begin by telling you a little story. Me and my dad live in a mother-in-law suite which is like a mini apartment below a house. That means we share a mailbox with the people who own the house. Well, I just started babysitting after school so instead of checking the mail before them right after I get off of the bus, I've been riding the bus to my cousins' house and by the time I get home, the mail is already checked by them. Well, I knew there were quite a few books I was supposed to get this week and I kept getting frustrated when they WOULDN'T GET HERE. I was also supposed to get a package from my siblings as a Christmas present. And that hadn't come either. Well, I figured out the people that own the house have been taking my mail and returning it to the sender due to the "wrong address." We're moving tomorrow, but I am SO MAD. Sosososo mad. Not only for me, but for the people who have had to pay to send books to me only to have them sent back. I'd feel horrible asking them to send them to my new address because it is EXPENSIVE to send books. And I had so many that I was looking forward to! Anyway, I obviously don't have any physical books this week, but the NetGalley books I got I am superlyduperly excited for :) Clicking the titles will take you to the book's Goodreads page.

Partials by Dan Wells

OMGOMGOMG I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS. Everything about this book looks and sounds amazing! I died when I saw it on NetGalley.

Jersey Angel by Beth Ann Bauman

This sounds like a really good contemp :)

The Book of Blood and Shadow by Robin Wasserman

This book sounds sooooo good, and I loveloveloved Robin's Frozen. Her writing is just fabulous and I am really excited to read this. I actually got denied the first time I requested it, but then, having absolutely no shame, I requested again and got approved.

In My Mailbox (13) - The Holiday Edition

I didn't post my IMM last week since it was Christmas. But I have quite a bit of awesomeness to show you from the past 2 weeks. Clicking on the titles will take you to the Goodreads page. Please note that the release dates that I state are according to NetGalley and may not be correct. Oh, and HAPPY NEW YEAR! :)

THE HOLIDAY EDITION

Clockwork Prince by Cassandra Clare

Finally, finally, finally! I've heard nothing but rave things about this book and I adore all things Cassandra Clare. I have been waiting what feels like AGES for this book and I finally have it! My daddy finally bought it for me for Christmas!

Mortal Defiance by Nichole Chase

This is the sequel to Mortal Obligation, which I read and reviewed (here) for a blog tour. I loved the book so much and Nichole was kind enough to offer me an eARC of Mortal Defiance for review. I'm pretty sure the book has been released now, but I'm really excited! I need to find a way to get to it amidst all the NetGalley books.

Meant to Be by Tiffany King

I've heard so many raave things about this author from twitter and whatnot that once I saw this was free, I had to get it! I'm not crazy about the cover, but whatever.

I'm excited to read this one, too. NUFF SAID.

Welcome, Caller, This is Chloe by Shelley Coriell

I think this looks adorable! :) To be released May 1, 2012

Various Positions by Martha Schabas

I'm not sure what this one is about either, but with a title like that, how could I NOT request it? Certainly intrigued. To be released Febuary 14, 2012.

The International Kissing Club by Ivy Adams

I've heard mixed things aout this book, but I think it sounds like it would be a cute, entertaining read. I've kind of started it, and it is my first read of 2012. To be released January 3, 2012.

Horizon by Sophie Littlefield

I'm not certain what this is about, but I think it is a post-apocalyptic, which means I am TOTALLY DOWN. I love love love the cover. It is creepy and intriguing. I'm really excited to read this. To be released January 31, 2012.

Hunted by Cheryl Rainfield

Cheryl had an enormous Twitter giveaway on her release day where she gave out a ton of different prizes if you tweeted #hunted. I tweeted it over and over until I won this signed and personalized copy of Hunted. I also won a signed postcard bonus story and a signed comic strip.

Cinder by Marissa Meyer

The publisher had a twitter contest where you were entered to win if you retweeted about the trailer for Cinder. I was lucky enough to have won a signed ARC. They also gave me a Cinder mirror, which was super awesome! I've been excited about this book for forever. Cyborg Cinderella? Yes, please! But to add to it, I have seen nothing but rave reviews about this. To be released January 3, 2012.

Destined by Jessie Harrell

I won a signed and personalized copy from the author, along with a butterfly ring that matches the one on the cover, a signed bookmark, and a litttle notepad. I am really excited for this! It is a retelling of Cupid and Psyche, which is one of my favorite myths. I actually won this a long time ago, but for some reason the package never made it to me :/ But Jessie was super duper buper luper kind enough to send me another one and I couldn't be more grateful!

In My Mailbox (10) - The Linkedy Edition

THE LINKEDY EDITION

I didn't do an IMM last week for two reasons. 1) I was too lazy *sheepish glance around* and 2) I barely had anything to show. But I do this week :) Oh, and the reason it is The Linkedy Edition is because all the titles link to Goodreads now!

I got it!!!

NOT PICTURED:

I got a BUNCH of Pretty Tough swag, which I won with 2 Pretty Tough books over at Princess Bookie's Contest Craze. The books came before the swag, so they were in my last IMM. There was SO much. Stickers, cards, bookmarks...!

THE NO REVIEW EDITION

 I didn't post my IMM last week because I went back to All-Region with my choir! It was really fun, but also super exhausting and I got sick afterwards and missed 2 days of school. But, in those past 2 weeks, I didn't get a single book for review (besides NetGalley). I got requests, but none that I accepted :O I'm not complaining, I have enough books as it is! Okay, without further ado.

Dark Secrets 1 by Elizabeth Chandler - Borrowed from one of my besties :) It's funny because she's always asking to borrow my books!

The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin - Purchased on All-Region trip. I can't even describe how excited I am to read this. I mean, I've wanted to read it for a while, but HD and Melina are always gushing about it so I decided I need to get a copy! It's so purrrrrdy!

These came with the books I won from Princess Bookie.

2 Stealing Bases bookmarks, with cute little charms you can't see.

An Unraveling Isobel postcard, which is a book I desperately want to read!

Excessive Ebook Edition

 I didn't post an IMM last week because I was out of town. I had All-Region auditions with my choir. I am still thrilled to announce that I did make All-Region, so at least it was worth missing IMM.
