In My Mailbox (50)

In My Mailbox is the show and tell of the book blogging world, hosted by The Story Siren.

This week, I received a couple of books for review and picked up a much-anticipated sequel. Woo-hoo! All links go to Goodreads.com.

For review:
I haven't read any of this series before, but I've heard intriguing things about it. I was also super excited to see a quote from Jenny at Wondrous Reads on the front page. Coolness! Thanks to Quercus for this one.
This looks so much fun! I already know I'm going to start reading it on my Monday morning commute, to cheer me up after the sad demise of the weekend. Thank you Random House.

Bought:
Linger - Maggie Stiefvater
I really enjoyed Shiver last year, and I've been looking forward to this one ever since. I have to confess I kind of prefer the US cover, so I might pick myself up a copy of that one too.

In other news, my contest to win a UK ARC of A Most Improper Magick by Stephanie Burgis is open until the 27th July 2010. Don't forget to stop by here and enter.

Great books. I have just started Linger *emotions running high* and looking forward to Jealousy.
My Rock Romance Diary sounds really funny - looking forward to your reviews.
Have a great week :D

Fab week Lauren!

I think you will love My Rocky Romance Diary. I think it's the best Kelly Ann book so far, and it's just so funny and realistic.

Also, yay for Jealousy! (You noticed! Cool!) This series gets better with every book, so I'm looking forward to hearing what you think.

Linger.. what can I say? My US edition arrived yesterday, and I'm probably going to read it next week. I didn't love Shiver as much as everyone else, but I have a feeling I'm going to really like this one.

Happy reading!

Curious to hear what you think of the Lili St. Crow book - I've been pondering getting a copy for a while now. I also picked up Linger and am excited about starting it, although have to admit that I wish I had a US copy too!

Nice books! Ah, Linger, I keep hearing how amazing it is. I've heard St. Crow's books rock,

Hope you enjoy all three! =)

I am starting to feel bad that I did not buy myself a copy of Linger when I went to Waterstones today. Hope you really love it!
