In My Mailbox (13)

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. 
Are we all ready for Christmas? We’re putting our tree up tomorrow and most of my shopping is done – FYI, I don’t like shopping o_O. So you know how I said I wasn’t buying any books before Christmas, well, Clockwork Prince happened to be at Costco for half price so… yeah I couldn’t very well leave it there now could I? =) Let’s see what else I got this week.

I got for review (click on cover or links for Goodreads):
I was happy when I saw KM signed her book for me, and I also got this wonderful swag from KC Neal (yes, KC, there were 4 bookmarks but the little one got a hold of one…)
I have bought:

A big thank you to HCB Publishing, Avery Sawyer, Flux Books, Karice Bolton, Harper Collins, Simon & Schuster, Beth Ann Masarik, HBG Canada, Penguin Canada and KM Parr for the review copies, and thank you KC for the great swag!

Did you get something good this week?

    First of all I am jealous that you have Clockwork Prince. Grrrr. Now that that’s out my system… I’ve seen Ripper around but it kind of feels like it would creep me out too much. Third thing: Arrrrgh! The Blood Rights series! By Kristen Painter! Arrgh! I want. *sigh* I so need some book money. Happy reading!

    Presonally I can’t wait to read Slide and I’ve heard great things about Blood Rights!

    Happy reading!!!! 😀

    Oh wow, another Clockwork Prince! You guys must have talked about this! It’s just so surreal that I find it almost everywhere! Hahaha. I should definitely get my own copy of this book that most everyone seems to love this week.

    We’re having a paranormal/dark magic/carnivale theme next month, I’d bookmark this page of yours so that I can refer to it as I search for more titles for our theme.

    Here’s my IMM for the week:

    Still waters looks like a great read. I love the cover for that one! I just finished with Clockwork Prince; it’s one heck of a ride. Enjoy! 🙂

  5. Rebecca

    Oh, Oh, Oh!! You got Slide and Future of Us? You sure have me jealous now! Those seem so awesome! 😀 And Clockwork Prince! You definitely couldn’t just leave it there. I’m scared to finish it! Haha. Great week!

  7. Kathy

    I am excited about Still Waters. I can’t wait to see what everyone thinks of it.

    Clockwork Prince is pretty much in everyone’s mailbox this week.

    Glad to see you had such a great week. 🙂 It’s been relatively quiet for me. Just got some stuff tonight but I think I’ll save that for next weekend.

    I broke down and bought Clockwork Prince, though, which is ridiculous because I haven’t read Clockwork Angel. But I figure I can order that online and now I already have the new one to go with it. Hopefully I like them. (When will I learn not to do that??)

  11. Peggy

    Great IMM Giselle! I still have to start the Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare. I can’t wait to read The Future of Us, Asher’s 13 Reason’s Why. Hope you enjoy them all!

  12. Amber

    I think everyone got Clockwork Prince this week. The draw was too hard to resist! I picked up a copy of mine at Walmart in a roped off area. People looked at me weird. I’m dying to get to The Future of Us too. I hope you enjoy all your books this week!

  13. Mimi Valentine

    GISELLE!!!! <3 Your mailbox is full of so much awesomeness this week! I really want to read The Future of Us and you're so lucky that you got a copy! 🙂 Plus, I have a copy of Blood Rights on its way and of course I bought my own hardcover copy of Clockwork Prince! 😉

    AMAZING mailbox this week, Giselle! I really hope you love them all and I can’t wait to read your reviews! 🙂

  14. Bea

    Did EVERYONE (except me, lol) get Clockwork Prince this week? It sure seems that way. 🙂

    You got quite a collection of books this week, I hope you enjoy them.

  15. Felicia

    Wow! You got a bunch of stuff! I love the covers for all of them. I got Notes to self last week too. Hope you enjoy your books!

    Talk about a mailbox full of epic! Looking forward to Slide and Still Waters, myself. I’m reading CP right now…trying to savor it, but it’s so hard not to read it in one sitting. 🙂
