In My Mailbox #113: 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 got so many good books in the post and I have no idea what to read next. I'm leaning towards Wood Angel though, as recommended by Canadian Cat and Michelle Harrison. I also got to go to an event at HarperCollins in London, which you can read all about here. And I'm going to London again on Monday with Crooked Carla, to meet Lauren Oliver. *breathes*

Thanks so much to the publishers - I love you all!

For review:

• Heavenly by Jennifer Laurens
• Penitence by Jennifer Laurens
• Absolution by Jennifer Laurens

Thanks to Jennifer for offering to send me Heavenly (wasn't expecting the other two as well!). I've heard good things about these!

• Viola in the Spotlight by Adriana Trigiani
  

I loved the first book in this series. Yay!

• A Year Without Autumn by Liz Kessler
  

I read a proof of this a few weeks ago and really enjoyed it. The finished copy is lovely!

• Dead Beautiful by Yvonne Woon
  

I have the US edition of this but haven't read it yet. Again, heard good things!

• Stones for My Father by Trilby Kent

This is for a Tundra Books blog tour, and it sounds like an unusual historical read.

• Chronicles of Nick: Invincible by Sherrilyn Kenyon

I read the first book in this series, Infinity, last year and thought it was okay. This has another great cover!

• The Weirdstone of Brisingamen by Alan Garner

I nabbed this from the HarperCollins event. I love fantasy but have never read this. Part of it is set in Alderly Edge, which isn't too far away from me!

• Die for Me by Amy Plum

Can't wait to read this!

• The Crowfield Demon by Pat Walsh

Again, I loved the first book in this series. There's a fey hob!

• The Gathering by Kelley Armstrong

I've never read one of Kelley's books (YA or adult), so I'm looking forward to this.

• Buried Thunder by Tim Bowler

Sounds creepy!

• Vanished by Meg Cabot

These were originally published 10 years ago, and are being republished by S&S. I shall give them a go!

• Florence and Giles by John Harding

Another one I got from HarperCollins. It just sounded creepy, and I like me some creepy. It's adult though, not YA.

• Wood Angel by Erin Bow

A shiny finished copy of this arrived, and I can't wait to read it!

• Tomorrow When the War Began by John Marsden

My friend Lucy Christopher tells me this is amazing. She's usually always right, so I shall look forward to it.

• The Opposite of Amber by Gillian Philip

I need to read this soon. Gillian's books are great!

• The Raising by Laura Kasischke

I think this is technically adult, but one that could also be aimed at older teens. Sounds good. And dark.

• Witchfinder: Gallows at Twilight by William Hussey

Yay for YA horror!

• Monster High: The Ghoul Next Door by Lisi Harrison

I read the first one of these last year, and again thought it was okay. Great concept.

• Department 19 by Will Hill

Everyone who attended the launch event was given a finished copy. It's so nice, and now signed by Will. Yay!

• Strange Angels: Defiance by Lili St. Crow

Oh how I love this series. And my quote's in the inside of this one again - woohoo!

Bought:

• Clarity by Kim Harrington

Check out that cover! The book sounds ace too :D

• The Vampire Diaries: The Return - Midnight by L. J. Smith

I so need to catch up with this series. Pretty US edition though...

• Afterlife by Claudia Gray

Ditto catching up with this one. I better get to it!




Happy reading guys!
