In My Mailbox (17)

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. 
I hope you guys had a good week. Back to business this week huh? Don’t fret, there’s only 352 days until Christmas! But, who’s counting?

What I got this week for review (click on cover for Goodreads):

I want to thank Omnific Publishing, Flux Books, Bloomsbury, Random House, HarperCollins, AR Wise, Megan Mc Dade and SJ Davis for the review copies.

I have bought:

I have won:

How did I win this? Well, I took part in the Masquerade ball over at Cambria’s site during her blog tour. We all submitted a picture of us in a gown and my picture was one of the winners! Missed it? Click here – My pic is #2. Who ever said you wouldn’t gain anything by drinking?

So, since I won this during a Masquerade ball, I figured it was appropriate to ball it up for Cambria. Here’s my failed sexy pose:

Yep, I’m a total dork!
If I haven’t scared you off, let me know what you got this week.
Leave me a link and I’ll go visit! =)

    Woo Hoo! So glad you liked it and thanks for posting a pic! Too awesome!

    I love the cover of Destiny’s Fire, but I can’t quite tell whether it is a camera or a hat on her head. Haha, I guess I’ll have to see it in person!

    Happy reading.

    Eek! Destiny’s Fire looks so good! I’ve been reading snippets all around and can’t wait for it to be out! Love the picture of you in the mask! At least you’re having fun.

    You got another awesome mailbox this week, Giselle! The Book of Blood and Shadows looks really good and I’ve heard great things about Partials. And the cover of Deadlock makes my skin crawl. They all looks like great reads. I hope you enjoy them all. Can’t wait to read your reviews. <3 :]

    You got a lot of great books this week! The cover for Destiny’s Fire looks a lot better than the original cover they were going to release. As always, I’m looking forward to your reviews on these books.

    OMG, so envious right now. Some of these I got as well, but others I wish I had! Like The Book of Blood and Shadow. Oh, man, I really want that book! And I love that mask! So pretty.

    Have an amazing reading week!

    Great stuff, Giselle! 🙂

    Destiny’s Fire is awesome! I’m very interested in reading Partials. And your new masquerade mask is very pretty — congrats on that one. 🙂

    On a down note, my brand new camera broke. *is upset* I did find the receipt though (thank goodness) so hopefully I’ll be getting that fixed / replaced / something… I’ve not even had the darn thing two weeks. *sigh*

    Anyway, I hope that you have a fantastic week! Enjoy your new books!

    I am beyond excited to see that my novella, Deadlocked, made it onto Giselle’s list. If anyone wants to read it, Amazon has changed the price to free! Also, I hope it’s not uncouth of me to pop into the comments here, but I can’t help myself. It’s just so exciting to see the cover of my book on the site. I’m all smiles here.

    haha I love the mask, it looks awesome!! ahaha and that pic of you in your dress is awesome, that will probably be me at my wedding if someone is ever crazy enough to propose haha!

    You got some awesome things this week! Partials and Book of Blood and Shadow look AMAZING!! I can’t wait to hear what you think of both of these!

    I love Alyxandra Harvey but I’m weird about the Fae, so I’m really looking forward to reading your review to see what you think!

    I hope my copy of Fated gets here this week I’m dying to get my hands on it!!

    Happy Reading!!

    @Bluebirdbrokers: Hi! People seem really freaked out by your cover haha. It’s really creepy for sure! I can’t wait for the zombie event to read it! 😀 and don’t worry about it I love author comments (except the hater ones).

  84. Katie

    I’ve heard great things about Partials. Fated looks pretty good, too! I love your picture 🙂 You are totally _not_ scary! 😉

  85. Brodie

    PARTIALS. THE BOOK OF BLOOD AND SHADOW. AM I JEALOUS? Why yes, yes I freaking am 😀 Ahhh so excited to read those in particular! Plus Stolen Away and Destiny’s Fire sound fantastic.

    I read Fated last week and LOVED IT! So badass. *grabs Lucas and runs off* Hope you enjoy!

    Hehe and congrats on you win! 🙂

    I cannot wait to read STOLEN AWAY and THE BOOK OF BLOOD AND SHADOW. Great haul! And I love your mask 😀 Thanks for stopping by! I couldn’t find your FollowFriday but I’m following you already, I think. I’m following you again, just in case =p

    The Deadlocked cover totally has me creeped out in a ‘I have to read the e-book so I can sleep at night with this on my bedstand’ kind of way. I’m so geared up to read Book of Blood and Shadow, and I can’t wait to get my hands on Partials!
