In My Mailbox (9)

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. 

How is everyone on this long weekend (at least for Canadians)? We just celebrated my father’s 60th yesterday. Had a family gathering with some yummy Acadian fricot- If you don’t know what fricot is, you’re missing on some awesome grubs! Also, I just realized the next long weekend will be Christmas! Anyone have their tree up already?
So, what have we got here… books! *cheer*
I have gotten for review (click on cover for Goodreads):  
 

I have bought:
As you can see I’ve already read/reviewed Touch and it was fantastic so I had to get a nice finished copy for my bookshelf. I’m also really happy about my review copies. I’ve had my eye on a few of them for a while now.
*I want to thank Kevin M. Turner, Salli Lundy-Frommer, Random House and Harper Collins (Katherine Tegen Books) for the review copies.*

What’s in your mailbox this week?

    Thanks for stopping by!

    I JUST put in a request for Incarnate and I glanced at Pretty Crooked but I think that’s more of Kaitlin (my blogmate’s) type of book. 🙂

    Nice haul this week!

    Another great week! I didn’t know Incarnate was on NetGalley. I’m trying to catch up on my review books anyway, but I just love the cover. Dust Girl and Pretty Crooked sound intriguing as well. Enjoy!

    Ooo.. I just added Yesterday’s Daughter to my TBR list. That sounds good, and those eyes.. gorgeous!

    We have a long weekend here too, but we still have Thanksgiving before Christmas. Happy birthday to your father!

    My Dear! how have you been? Awesome IMM!! =9

    btw, bookplates are designed stickers where author sign and dedicate books to readers =). This a goodies I have seen only a few author do. They come super in handy when we are not able to see them live U_U… sniff!!
    Hope it’s clear enough =)

    muah!

    Christy (Love of Books): I didn’t know you had a long weekend too – you in the states I assume? We had our Thanksgiving last month. No other long weekends for us until the holidays. It’s exciting though!

    Love the comments guys 😀 Incarnate is definitely popular this week!

  21. Amanda

    Lots of goodies this week!!!!

    Love the cover for Yesterday’s Daughter, I’m going to have to check it out.

    Thanks for stopping by mine. 🙂

    Lots of great books here, Giselle! 🙂 I’m really excited to read Incarnate and Pretty Crooked! Yesterday’s Daughter and Dust Girl look really interesting too – very pretty covers!

    And I LOVE TOUCH! I need to buy my own hard copy!

    Thanks for stopping by my blog and commenting on my IMM! Hope you have another fab week full of books!

    Ooooo such pretty covers in your mailbox this week! Incarnate looks amazing, I’m really excited for that one! And I’ve heard Touch is outstanding, I can’t wait to give it a try myself:)

  46. Nimue

    I got Dust Girl too! I’m so excited about it. And Incarnate is on my wish list. The cover is just too amazing.
    I haven’t heard of Yesterday’s Daughter before but it does sound interesting.

    Can’t wait to see what you think of Incarnate! It seems like everyone has got it but me (which is fine, I have plenty to read!). It sounds amazing though! The others look really good as well!

  57. Rebecca

    Yay on Incarnate! 😀 And Pretty Crooked looks real good as well. I’m also starting to get curious about Dust Girl ;o Thanks for stopping by and enjoy!

  58. Lindsey (A Storm of Words)

    Ooh, I’m really wanting to read “Touch”. Many people who’ve read it have enjoyed it, so I’ll have to check it out. The rest of these books seem really great, especially Incarnate. I’m looking forward to your review for it!

    My IMM is here! 🙂

    PS. I think only some cities/provinces had a holiday on Friday! I honestly didn’t even know that some people got the day off work until seeing it on the news! Glad you had a good weekend though and happy belated birthday to your dad!

    Ooh you got Touch!! I need to buy this soon! I just want to have a copy to stare at and re-read whenever I want haha.

    I’m jealous about Incarnate and Pretty Crooked! Dying to read them and just quickly went and requested them on Netgalley… so heres hoping I get accepted!! Can’t wait to see what you think of them both!

    I always seem to find out about awesome books being released on Netgalley in everyone’s IMM, I need to get on top of things!

    Thanks for stopping by my IMM.

    YAY GISELLE!! You have Incarnate! 🙂 The cover for that one is just GORGEOUS and it sounds like such a cool book! I can’t wait to read your review on it because that will help convince myself whether I should break my buying book limitations and get a copy of that when it comes out LOL! x)

    And I’m glad Touch was one of those books for you! I’m the same way — if I love a book that much, I have to own a copy! 😉

    Awesome mailbox, Giselle! I hope you love all of your books! 🙂

    I got Incarnate a few weeeks ago and I am still desperate to read it! *Stares at huge TBR pile and dreams of reading Incarnate*

    I also JUST requested Pretty Crooked off of NG. Hope you enjoy!!! It looks so fabulous.

    Happy reading and awesome IMM!!! Thanks for stopping by 🙂

    I keep seeing Touch everywhere, I’m going to have to go ahead and add it to my to-read list because every review I’ve seen has been positive.

    Love your blog, adding it to my RSS feed so that I can follow. Thanks for commenting on mine! 🙂

    Nice mailbox! I’m starting to see Incarnate pop up in several mailboxes lately. Looks like a good read! Enjoy!

    Thanks for stopping by my blog earlier!

  101. Katie

    You are so lucky to have a copy of Incarnate! It looks sooo good, I hope you enjoy it. Have you started reading the Magi yet? I have and I’m loving it so far. Great IMM this week, also super cute blog 🙂

    Thanks for stopping by my blog! Incarnate looks fabulous! I have seen Touch on a few blogs, but haven’t looked into it yet. Might have to! Hope you enjoy them all!

  114. KtTurner

    Awesome books this week. Thank you for stopping by my IMM this week and leaving a comment. Love all. Covers on your IMM, they are so pretty. Can’t wait to read your reviews.

    I’ve fallen in love with the cover for Incarnate. That butterfly is so pretty, and this is coming from a person who is terrifed of all bugs (butterflies included). I’m crossing my fingers that this book is just as wonderful as the cover. Thanks for stopping by my blog Giselle!

    What a very very great IMM! I hope you enjoy Incarnate! I’m so dying to read that one! I am also really interested to read Touch! I should get a copy for myself! Thank you so much for stopping by! Enjoy reading! 🙂

  123. AimeeKay

    Ok, I don’t know what a fricot is, but I want one!
    I also want what’s in your mailbox! I have to get me a copy of Incarnate, I’ve seen it everywhere lately, and the others look really good too!

  128. Brodie

    Happy [slightly belated] birthday to your father! Ooh AWESOME books this week. So, so, so excited to read Incarnate! Dust Girl and pretty Crooked sound fantastic too and the eyes of Yesterday’s Daughter cover really draw you in.

    Also, very happy to hear Touch is fantastic! Happy reading 🙂

  134. Ailsa

    It’s nice to get finished copies of things 🙂 While I like the cover for Incarnate, I don’t think it’s something I would actually like. Hope you enjoy all of them, though!

    Thanks for visiting the blog!

    I love the Incarnate cover. I know everybody does, but I’m not usually a fan of covers like that so it’s a change for me. I missed it when it was on NetGalley so I’m really looking forward to getting my hands on a copy 🙂

  151. Petra

    Hi, thank you for stopping by! 🙂
    I haven’t read any of your books, but they look good, so I hope you’ll enjoy reading them! 🙂
