In My Mailbox (26)

"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 don't know about you all but I've had a fabulous week. I'm just in an awesome mood for some reason. You know, just all around giddy - I'm sure some may have noticed on Twitter I guess my tweets have been a bit random and full of epicness, and I  LOVE you guys for joining along in my happy dance mood! *ahem* So yeah, did you miss anything awesome this week at Xpresso Reads? Well there was the Channeler's Choice blog tour stop - a series I'm really enjoying and you can maybe win something! There was also a cover reveal with TWO gorgeous new covers - check it out! I still have a bunch of open giveaways too so check out the sidebar to go and enter! Last thing - if you missed it last week, I'm on Formspring now! You can ask me anything you want here: http://www.formspring.me/Giselleco

ARCs I got this week (click on cover or title links for Goodreads):
-Siege by Rhiannon Frater (Already read and it's EPIC! See how the cover is all bent - THAT's how intense it was!)

*HUGE thank you to Penguin Books, Rhiannon Frater, Matt Merrick,  St. Martin's Press, Entangled Publishing and Random House for these awesome pretties*

Bought:
Ok so, if you follow my tweets AT ALL, you have to have noticed my borderline psychotic ravings of Rhiannon's As the World Dies series (BLEW my MIND [And my heart!]). Aanyways, I then got out and bought every thing else she's written because I'm a stalker that way. So this section is particularly Rhiannon-esque, and my paperbacks haven't even arrived yet! >.<  
And also because of Rhiannon's rec, I grabbed Jenny Pox which is FREE (here) - a Carrie-like (adult) horror. I'm reading it now and so far it's awesome!



What a freaking epically awesome week!!
So what did YOU all get!?

  2. Wow, looks like you got some great books this week Giselle!

    I'm interested to see how you like One Good Hustle, it sounds pretty interesting! Pretty Amy sounds like a really fun contemp. I have Jenny Pox on my eReader, but I still need to get to it. I see from Twitter that you are liking it so far :)

    I see that you have a few similar books in your mailbox, namely Pretty Amy (which I got RIGHT after I made my IMM post) and Yesterday. Very excited for those!

    I may or may not have already stolen your copy of Black City, so... yeah... ;-)

    I've been following your Rhiannon stalking on Twitter and have thoroughly enjoyed it all. I'm actually hosting Rhiannon next Monday and am excited to start reading her work! Especially after seeing you gush about it so much, haha!

  54. Hi there Giselle, it's always great to note your enthusiasm about books, so infectious! My husband and I are doing a Walking Dead marathon and it seems like the Rhiannon tales (are they graphic novels) fit that theme to a T. You also have a great mix of e-books and physical books here, which is always great! I've been seeing The Hunt a lot lately, do drop me a line if you think it's any good. :)
