In My Mailbox its hosted by Kristi from The Story Siren. Check out her site, its great!
So I thought I would take part in my first meme this week. The new books in my possession this week are mostly from the library but a couple are new purchases that I couldn't resist. I think this In My Mailbox may cover a little over 1 week as my trip to the library was just over a week a go but I though you would all forgive me for adding my library trip on.
Bought
Torment by Lauren Kate - I have been reading Fallen and really enjoyed it and when I saw a hardback cover I knew I had to get it. Also it was a complete bargain at half price in asda, I know not the usual book shop, but this was the only place up to now I have seen hardback covers.
Elixir by Hilary Duff - I have been seduced by the cover but the book actually sounds pretty good and I am looking forward to reading it. It was also another bargain.
Won
Unseen Academicals by Terry Pratchett - This I won. I was so excited and surprised. It is the audio book which is very different for me. I actually collect Terry Pratchett's books and I am just waiting to be able to sit and get through them all as I have read too few in the past. I'm so excited that I won this though.

A lot of great books! Did you like Fallen? I'm not sure if I should buy Torment, because I thought Fallen was just so-so.
ReplyDeleteI'm a new follower and I'm looking forward to following your reviews! My Mailbox is here.
Oh I love new followers. I'm going to go check out your blog now.
ReplyDeleteI'm not finished with Fallen yet, but what I have read I enjoyed. I just finished The Postcard Killers as I had a hideous migraine yesterday so I was delayed in finishing it. If you think it was so-so maybe you could check it out the library?
Great books this week! Blood Feud is a good read! I'll be interested to see what you think of Elixir! Happy reading! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, have you read Elixir? I was in a rush at the library when I picked Blood Feud up and now have to hut at another library for My Love Lies Bleeding, not my smartest hour.
ReplyDeleteHaha wow thats a list of books! I hope you enjoy them all! Mine is here: http://nikkibrandyberry.wordpress.com/

ReplyDeleteThanks, a lot have to go back to the library though :( I wish I could keep them. Looks like you had a great week at your library too.

ReplyDeleteGreat books! Fallen is a great series, and Torment was even better than Fallen. I also have Lipstick Laws to read and it does look good!
