In My Mailbox (5)

Posted by

“In My Mailbox” is a meme, created by Kristi at The Story Siren, that features books I’ve 
received/ purchased/ borrowed during the current week. 
 I was hoping to get the books I ordered from Book Depository this week but they didn’t come *cry*. Lola is in there. So come Friday, depressed that I didn’t get my order yet, I went shopping (for books, of course). =D

Here’s what I bought (notice the awesomesauce placemats that match my blog -total coincidence!) : 

 

I have received for review:

That is all for me this week. I think I’m the only one left who hasn’t read Clockwork Angel yet so it was about time I bought it. I can’t wait to see what Fire has in store for me as well. And as you can see, I was so excited to get Dearly, Departed that I read it almost right away, and it was awesome! 🙂 

What have you gotten this week?

    You got some great ones this week! I loved Clockwork Angel more than the immortal instruments series! I hop you enjoy it, and I loved Fire more than Graceling (but still love both)

    Can’t wait to get my copy of Dearly Departed in the mail!

    Happy Reading

    I just finished Dearly, Departed today, and I seriously loved it too. It’s good timing on Clockwork Angel for you! Now you’ll only have to wait a few weeks instead of that whole year. 😀

    My IMM is over here if you’d like to stop by. Happy reading!

    I feel like everyone is reading DEARLY DEPARTED, must be good. Hopefully I’ll see it soon.

    Happy Readings

    I really want to read Dearly Departed! I’m waiting on quite a few books from Book Depository – sometimes they are a little slow! But at least the shipping is free and the prices are low! 🙂

    Hope you have a lovely Sunday!
    My IMM!

    I got Dearly, Departed this week as well and I’m looking forward to read it a lot. 🙂 Seeing Fire reminds me that I still have Graceling sitting on my shelf, waiting for me to read it. 😀 And I hope you enjoy Clockwork Angel. I’m very much looking forward to its sequel. 🙂

    Have a lovely week,

    I love Fire and Kristin Cashore is one of my favourite YA/Fantasy authors. I hope you enjoy it. I’m very jealous of everybody who got Dearly, Departed this week – I hope I get to read it soon!

  11. Jennie

    Awesome IMM! I need to check out Clockwork Angel. I keep hearing great things about it. Dearly, Departed looks really good too. Hope you enjoy all your new books!

  12. Lea

    I’m reading Dearly, Departed right now and am totally loving it! It’s a bit daunting because it’s so long, but it really is an awesome book so far! 😉

    I read Graceling by Kristin Cashore awhile ago, I wasn’t a “huge” fan, so I don’t know if I’ll read the sequels, but I hope you enjoy Fire and then the new one that just came out, Blue something haha! The covers are gorseous 😉

    Happy Reading!!! You can see my IMM for this week at the link below 🙂

    Yay for Clockwork Angel! Such a good book. It really is hard for me to decide which Cassandra Clare series I like better. Jace and Will are just so perfect =) I’m also super jealous you have Dearly, Departed. I need to pick that book up ASAP!

    Awesome books! Sometimes Book Depository is so slow. I’ve had books come w/in a week, & others take over two weeks. I loved Clockwork Angel & The Lost Hero. Hope you enjoy, too!
    Thanks for stopping by The Bookish Babes!

  15. Kristan

    Yay for Clockwork Angel! I love that series. Sometimes I can’t decide which books by Cassandra Clare I like better. Just give me some Jace or Will and I’ll be happy!

    I haven’t read Clockwork Angel either 🙂 but then, I haven’t read any of her books.

    I want to read Dearly Departed, I can’t wait to see what you think of it.

    Enjoy!

  17. Amanda

    I’m so excited to get to Dearly, Departed! It looks awesome.

    YAY on Clockwork Angel. I love Clare’s writing so much.

    Thanks for stopping by mine. 🙂

    I need to read Clockwork Angel too. I was hoping to do the Mundie Moms read-a-long to encourage me to get through it. Glad you enjoyed Dearly, Departed. I’m excited to read it!

  19. Ailsa

    Ooh, Clockwork Angel! I’m still reading (*cough* – it’s in my pile of ‘books i’ve partly read but got distracted from before I could finish’) City of Bones, but I love Cassie Clare’s writing 🙂

    My IMM is here:The Book Bundle

    Great mailbox! I’m looking forward to reading Dearly, Departed, and I really need to read Clockwork Angel in time for Clockwork Prince. Hope you enjoy your books!

    Thanks for stopping by my IMM 🙂

  21. Daisy

    Shopping for books is the perfect way to get over the fact that the ones you bought already aren’t there yet 🙂
    I want to read Fire and The Lost Hero so badly! I loved Graceling and the Percy Jackson series, I hope these will be just as amazing 🙂 Hope you enjoy!

  22. Shellie

    I have only read *grabs my nook* City of Bones. I was uber shocked at the ending so I just quit but now that I know it’s different I’ll have to pick them up again. I have had my eyes on Dearly Departed, hope you get your stuff in soon =)

  23. Felicia

    I’ve been dying to get my hands on a copy of Dearly, Departed! Clockwork Angel was a great book. Thanks for stopping by! 🙂

    I am so glad to see that you loved Dearly, Departed! The book looks wonderful. Also, sorry your books haven’t shown up yet 🙁 My order from B&N took over a month and one book STILL hasn’t come in. Enjoy all the wonderful books you did get though 🙂

  25. Raine

    Oh, “The Lost Hero” is being highlighted at my bookshop here at the mall as a special price offer. Hope to check that out soon. Enjoy!

  26. Amber

    You got some really amazing books this week! I’ve got to grab a copy of Dearly Departed because I’ve been hearing good things. I haven’t read any Rick Riordan which is a shame because I loved the movie. Hope you enjoy all your books!

  27. Shirley

    CLOCKWORK ANGEL! A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!!!! Can’t wait for Clockwork Prince to be released!!!! Pyxis looks interesting…hmm..must check it out soon!
    Enjoy!

  28. Novels On The Run

    Great books. I love Clockwork Angel . I am trying to decide if I am Team Will or Jem…very hard to choose. I am so looking forward to Clockwork Prince. Lordy I hope I can get an early copy, I have waited so long…lol!!!

    I’ve been seeing Pyxis everywhere this week! 🙂 And Dearly Departed – SO dying to read it! I hope you like them both! I’m looking forward to your thoughts! Happy reading!

  30. Reading Angel

    You’re not the only one who hasn’t read Clockwork Angel, only Cassie Clare book I’ve read is City of Bones, I need to get caught up!
    I got Dearly Departed last week, can’t wait to read it!

  31. Majanka

    I’ve received Dearly, Departed as well but I’ve yet to read it. It sounds great though. I’ve read Fire before, and it was absolutely wonderful, got me even more amazed than its predecessor, Graceling.

    I’m a new follower btw 😉

    Enjoy reading!
