In My Mailbox #97: 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!

So, this week was ACE. I received some very exciting surprises in the post, and bought a few books that I can't wait to read. I'm particularly excited about The Iron Witch by my buddy Kaz, as well as the Ally Kennen books. I've never read anything by her, and they were a fab surprise! Also, it appears that this is the blog post where my Narnia obsession is showing itself... 11 days until Voyage of the Dawn Treader, people!

Here's what arrived in my snow-covered red postbox this week:

For review:

• Johnny Swanson by Eleanor Updale

• Annexed by Sharon Dogar

• Forge by Laurie Halse Anderson

• The Secret History of Elizabeth Tudor, Vampire Slayer as told by Lucy Weston (US ARC)

• Beast by Ally Kennen

• Bedlam by Ally Kennen

• Berserk by Ally Kennen

• Quarry by Ally Kennen (UK proof/ARC)

• The Betrayal of Natalie Hargrove by Lauren Kate (UK proof/ARC. Check out the UK cover!)

Bought:

Gift:

• Beyond the Wardrobe: The Official Guide to Narnia by E. J. Kirk

(This was going to be destroyed and thrown away at work because it's old stock, so they let me have it. It's out of print and I've never been able to get it! Yay!)

• Crescendo by Becca Fitzpatrick

(Becca sent me this copy, and signed it with a lovely inscription. I haven't been able to afford to buy the US edition, but she knows how I like to collect different versions of my favourite books. Thanks so much, Becca!)



Hope you all had a great week! Happy reading!
