In My Mailbox #96: New Books This Week

In My Mailbox idea from Kristi @ The Story Siren, and all links take you to Amazon. Click images for a bigger picture!

This week was another ace week for books! I've already read a couple of them, and they have got me straight out of my slight reading slump. Yay! There's so much good stuff coming out next year, I'm really excited - it's looking like it might even be better than 2010. And no, that's not *just* because Markus Zusak finally has a new book scheduled to be published... *whistles*

Here's what landed in my mailbox this week:

For review:

• Rosebush by Michele Jaffe (UK proof/ARC)

• Cryer's Cross by Lisa McMann (US ARC. Read it and loved it! Thanks K!)

• My Soul to Take by Rachel Vincent

• Milo and the Restart Button by Alan Silberberg (UK proof/ARC)

• Nightshade by Andrea Cremer (UK proof/ARC)

• Half Brother by Kenneth Oppel (Nice finished copy!)

• A Year Without Autumn by Liz Kessler (UK proof/ARC)

• When You Reach Me by Rebecca Stead (I already read this in January. Review here).

Bought:

• War Horse: Special Edition by Michael Morpurgo
  

(I really liked this book, so I bought the new hardcover illustrated edition).

~

Borrowed:

• Elsewhere by Gabrielle Zevin
  

(Borrowed from the lovely Mr. Phil Earle, January debut author of Being Billy. I've been meaning to read this for years but wasn't sure about it. Cheers Phil!)

Won:

• Nothing Like You by Lauren Strasnick

(Signed. I won this in Firelight author Sophie Jordan's 'Jacinda in the Wild' contest. Thanks so much, Sophie - it looks great! My picture is the second from the bottom, by the way, titled 'Firelight & Friends'.)

Hope you all had a good week, and happy reading!
