In My Mailbox (23)

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. 

How are all my lovely readers this week? I had a great week full of zombie goodness! Did you miss any new Zombies vs Unicorns month post? Click here for the event posts so far. Lots of amusing guest posts and fun giveaways went up. And for my fellow Canadians, a new giveaway was posted for a Hardcover copy of Starters by Lissa Price (Big thanks to Random House Canada : Click here to enter). I was also excited to book a new tour this week for the upcoming release by Shannon Dittemore, Angel Eyes – which I am highly anticipating. You can take note of the date on my sidebar and make sure to visit. This is all for Xpresso Weekly >.<  Moving on to what goodies I got this week:

I got for review:

For trade:
 I received this from the lovely Anna over at Literary Exploration in exchange for my copy of Hemlock (which I loved so she better love it too! >.<)

I bought:

I’m very happy with my haul this week!

    Of Poseidon looks awesome! I hear such good things about the Mythos Academy books so I should really check out the first book sometime. I keep meaning to read Blood Red Road. I had it from the library but just never got around to it.

    I know I already fangirled on Twitter, but:
    BLOOD RED ROAD!

    Okay. I’m done.

    Yay for Of Poseidon and Social Suicide! Of Poseidon just sounds really really cool (in addition to having a gorgeous cover) and I’ve heard the Deadly Cool series is great. Also, I just bought Born Wicked today! I can’t wait to read it. It looks amazing.

    Yay! I got Born Wicked too. I’ve been dying to read it. I’m so jealous that you got Of Poseidon. I feel as if I’ve been waiting for that book for centuries. And I just love the new cover for Blood Red Road. I really want to pick that book up.

    *weee* The rest looks pretty awesome, Giselle. I can’t wait to hear what you think of them all so I can decide if I should pick them up too! Happy Reading 🙂

    Wow- great books this week. I’m hearing a lot of good things about Born Wicked lately. I also have Blood Red Road on my shelves but haven’t gotten around to reading it yet.
    I just looked up Awaited to see what it is about. WANT IT NOW! I’ll look out for your review ;D

  23. Sam

    Great haul for you again! I can’t wait to see what you make of Blood Red Road. I really enjoyed that book! I think I like that cover the most. 🙂

  26. Amy

    Oh, the physical copy of Born Wicked is so pretty. I have it on nook, but need to get a HC. I really liked Blood Red Road. Of Poseidon is on my list of highly anticipated books! Great haul!

    Ack, I still need to finish KISS OF FROST. I’d better do it soon if DARK FROST is on the way now! I haven’t heard of AWAITED but I love the cover and must go read more…NOW! I still need to read my ARC of OF POSEIDON as well! I was planning to flash review BLOOD RED ROAD this week with some other dystopian stuff, but ran out of time. This week! Enjoy everything!

  36. Rachel

    Amazing IMM as always. The book faeries are always so good to you!
    I still need to read the first Mythos Academy book which is sitting on my shelf and I’ve never heard of Awaited before *races off to Goodreads*

    Happy reading!

    Giselle! 🙂

    Great books this week, I want to start the Mythos Academy series, have you read any of them yet? Are you liking them?

    I LOVED Of Poseidon, it was really really good and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a book in the mermaid genre, it’s probably my favorite one so far!

    Have an awesome weekend and happy reading! 😀

  46. Heather

    Awaited and Poseidon look intriguing, and I’ve been dying to read Blood Red Road. And Born Wicked, love that title. How can I resist that? Can’t wait to hear what you think of these!

  53. Nicola (pocketfullofbooks)

    Yay! Great books. 😀 I’m still waiting to see if I get approved for Dark Frost. I got Of Poseidon last week- it looks amazing!

    I’m going to order Blood Red Road from the library as everyone but me seems to have read it!

    Happy reading!

    I’ve been hearing great things about Blood Red Road, and I’m just dying to read Of Poseidon. Social Suicide is also on my TBR, since I loved Deadly Cool. Enjoy your books!

    Social Suicide is a great sequel. I didn’t love it as much as Deadly Cool, but it was still a fun read. I got Dark Frost, too, but totally forgot to add it to my IMM! Great haul!
