In My Mailbox (16)

Posted by

“In My Mailbox” is a meme, created by Kristi at The Story Siren, that features books I have

received/ purchased/ borrowed during the week. 
It’s 2012!!!!! *throws confetti* Another year gone. I hope you all made your goals and did important things. Like stop world hunger and stuff. Me, I went well over my goal of reading 100 books – I made it to 153! Hurray! What? I recycled too!

Here’s what I got for review (click on cover for Goodreads):

 I want to thank HBG Canada, Feiwel & Friends and Simon & Schuster for the review copies.

I have bought:
Me and a few other bloggers are having a super secret special monthly event for which I needed this awesome Zombie Vs. Unicorns short story book. Stay tuned!
I was gifted:
From Lucy over at Moonlight Gleam I received awesome swag in that lovely Christmas card. And from Samual of Books For All Seasons I got this wonderful (and pink!) Christmas card. Thanks so much you’re both sweethearts! <3
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I hope you all have a fabulous year in 2012!

What did you get to start the new year?
Link me up and I’ll be sure to visit! =)

    Ooo, I’m really interested in After the Snow–look forward to your review! That’s an impressive haul of books, and a great way to start off the new year. 🙂

    Happy New Year, Giselle! 🙂

    This is a great bunch of books! I’m undeceided whether to request Life is but a Dream… it sounds good, but not like something I’d usually read. Looking forward to hear what you think of it and the other books!

    Happy New Year, Giselle! It’s been great meeting you and your blog is truly fabulous.

    The Alchemy of Forever is on my wishlist, so I’m salivating a bit looking at it there. Can’t wait to see what you think!

    Have an amazing reading week!

    An event involving Zombies v.s. Unicorns, huh? Sounds interesting. 🙂 I hope that your holiday season was awesome and that 2012 is off to a fantastic start! Happy New Year!

    What a cute Christmas card!

    Also Zombies Vs. Unicorns is awesome, I remember doing a Zombies vs. Unicorns blog event with a friend when it first came out, fun times.

    AND YAY for the Humming Room and After The Snow.

    I loved Zombies vs Unicorns. There are a lot of really great stories in it. The Humming Room, After the Snow, and Alchemy of Forever all sound like good books too. Happy New Year!!

    I wish I lived in the US or any other English speaking country. All the physical copies.. All the ARCs.. All the.. *swoons*

    Yep, I’m horribly jealous right now. ;(

    Anyway, Happy Reading & Happy New Year!

    I have yet to read PD and OS, but they’re both sitting on my shelf all ready to be cracked open! Hopefully you enjoy them as much as the hype around them says you will.

    Happy reading!!

    Oops, wrong comment! That was for another blog. LOL, sorry 🙂

    I did not like Personal Demons, but I hope it works for you.

    Happy 2012, Giselle!

    Zombies vs Unicorns was an awesome collection! One of the few I actually really enjoyed! I am intrigued by the words “super secret”…/grins

    I’ve been dying to read Zombies vs. Unicorns, it sounds great, hope you enjoy it.
    Life is but a Dream, After the Snow and The Alchemy of Forever also sound awesome.
    Happy reading 🙂
