In My Mailbox #114: New Books This Week

This week was brilliant 'cos I met many cool people and went book shopping in London. I love you Foyles! I bought great books, all of which I'm very excited to read. Same for the ones I received for review - all sound great!

Here are this week's new books:

For review:

• Hex: A Witch and Angel Tale by Ramona Wray

I don't usually accept self-published books for review, but I've heard good things about this one. Thanks, Ramona!

• One Seriously Messed-Up Week in the Otherwise Mundane & Uneventful Life of Jack Samsonite by Tom Clempson (UK proof/ARC)
  

Does this book have the longest title ever?! I think it does. It's been called 'Adrian Mole meets The Inbetweeners', so I'm sure I'll love it.

• Wintercraft: Blackwatch by Jenna Burtenshaw (UK proof/ARC)

I liked the first book in this series, and I'm looking forward to what happens next. Also my review is quoted on the back of this proof which made my Thursday a happy day. Pic below.

• Angel's Fury by Briony Pearce (UK proof/ARC)
  

Another UK debut novel coming later in the year. I'm really looking forward to reading this one, and the proof is signed! How cool is that?!

Bought:

• Wither by Lauren DeStefano

I have heard nothing but good things about this book. I hope I like it as much as everyone else!

• Hold Me Closer, Necromancer by Lish McBride

This just sounds brilliant. Full stop.

• The Dark and Hollow Places by Carrie Ryan

Another great cover for a Carrie Ryan book. Now I just need to catch up with the series.

• The Anti-Prom by Abby McDonald

This sounds fun, and I really like Abby's writing.

• Zombies vs. Unicorns edited by Holly Black and Justine Larbalestier
  

This anthology includes many of my favourite authors I saw it in Foyles and I had to buy it. I think I'll be dipping in soon!

• Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys

I read this last week and absolutely loved it, so I had to buy a US hardcover copy. If you haven't read this yet, please do!

• Arrow by R. J. Anderson

I saw this in Foyles, and it was a signed edition. Yay!

• Infinite Days by Rebecca Maizel

I already have the hardback of Infinite Days, but I bought this because I'm quoted in it (!), and that always makes me very very excited. It arrived at work and I was just flicking through it when I saw it. :D Also, this new paperback cover is lovely!

[I think I've only ever used the term 'kick-ass' a handful of times in my reviews. Maybe I should say it less. Hehe]



Happy reading everyone, and have a great week!
