In My Mailbox #125: 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!

I'm very late posting this week's IMM because I was out late seeing Take That last night and had a blog tour to post today. Anyway, here it is! I've wanted to see Take That with Robbie since I was 5 or 6 years old in 1993, and this was the first time they've all toured together since 1995 I think. One more thing I can tick off the life to do list! They were AMAZING.


Now onto the books!

For review:

• Game Runner by B. R. Collins

I really like B. R. Collins' books so I hope this new one is good!

• David by Mary Hoffman

I've never read any of Mary's books so I'm looking forward to giving this one a go.

• The Radleys by Matt Haig

I read the trade paperback last year, and Walker have quoted me in the paperback along with some other UK bloggers. Very cool! My review is here.

• The Island of Thieves by Josh Lacey

Never heard of this one before but it sounds good.

• Epic by Conor Kostick
• Saga by Conor Kostick
• Edda by Conor Kostick

This is another series I'd never heard of before this week. It sounds brilliant though, and I love the covers, especially Edda!

• Brother/Sister by Sean Olin (UK proof/ARC)

I already have a copy of this so this one will be going to a good home. Sounds like a hard-hitting read.

• Tempest Rising by Tracy Deebs

Half-mermaid! Cool!

• Small Change for Stuart by Lissa Evans

I just finished this and enjoyed it. It's kind of a detective story with a great MC.

• The Last Summer of the Death Warriors by Francisco X. Stork

Looking forward to reading this!

• Cold Hands, Warm Heart by Jill Wolfson (UK proof/ARC)

I'm noticing a bit of a trend with YA books about heart transplants. I got another for review last week!

• Half Brother by Kenneth Oppel

This is my third copy of this (hardcover, proof, paperback) so I really will have to read it soon. I think it will be good but a bit sad.

• How the Light Gets In by M. J. Hyland

Love the sound of this one!

• Wolf Blood by N. M. Browne

Great cover - very Arthurian. Hope it's a good read.

Bought:

• Werewolves by Zachary Graves

This was £5 and is similar to the Vampires book I have. I can never resist a book about supernatural creatures, although wolves aren't my favourite. ;)

• The Map of Time by Felix J. Palma

I love the cover and sound of this one. I first heard about the US edition over at Steph's blog.

• The Extraordinary Secrets of April, May & June by Robin Benway

I never bought the hardcover of this so waited for the cool paperback (with lots of blogger quotes on the back!).

• The Lover's Dictionary by David Levithan

Saw this for £4 yesterday and thought why not!

• A Game of Thrones by George R. R. Martin
• A Clash of Kings by George R. R. Martin
• A Storm of Swords by George R. R. Martin
• A Feast for Crows by George R. R. Martin

I think I've already mentioned my teeny tiny (ha!) obsession with the Game of Thrones TV show. I LOVE IT. Can't wait to read the books, I'm so so excited. And this is a nice US boxset which means I don't have to crease the nicely bound spines. :D



Hope you all had a great week! Happy reading!
