In My Mailbox #130: 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 had a GREAT week this week, for many reasons! I received lots of surprise books in the post, I went to London for a blogger's launch of new Orion imprint Indigo, I saw the new Harry Potter film at midnight, met Alyson Noel and sat on the Game of Thrones iron throne. Awesome!!


Here's what was in my mailbox this week:

For review:

• He's So Not Worth It by Kieran Scott

Yay, I really enjoyed the first one of these!

• Life, Death & Gold Leather Trousers by Fiona Foden

I saw this at work and thought it sounded good. Then it arrived today!

• Emerald by Karen Wallace

Been looking forward to this one!

• Rip Tide by Kat Falls

Yay! Dark Life was ace, and I'm quoted on the back of this one. Very cool.

• Wolfsbane by Andrea Cremer

I still need to read Nightshade so I better get a move on.

• Ship Breaker by Paolo Bacigalupi

I didn't know much about this before it arrived but I'll give it a go.

• A Tale Dark and Grimm by Adam Gidwitz

This sounds fun and I like the cover.

• Too Small to Fail by Morris Gleitzman

Big Morris fan here so I can't wait to read this!

• Solstice at Stonewylde by Kit Berry

I will be starting this series very soon so I'm glad I have them all.

• Nocturne by Christine Johnson

Again, I need to read Claire de Lune before I read this. Must catch up!

• Neversuch House: Mask of the Evergones by Elliot Skell

See above... I started Neversuch House but didn't get far back at the beginning of the year. Will go back to it soon.

• Invisible Fiends: Doc Mortis by Barry Hutchison

These books are creepy!

• Serpent's Gold by Sam Osman

I haven't read the first book in this series but it sounds pretty good.

• Dark Parties by Sara Grant (UK proof/ARC)

I'm really excited about this one. I met Sara on Tuesday in London and she signed this for me. It sounds ace!

• The Demon Trappers: Forbidden by Jana Oliver

Another cool cover!

• House of Night: Dragon's Oath by PC & Kristin Cast

I'm very behind with the HoN series but I believe you can read this regardless.

• Midwinterblood by Marcus Sedgwick (UK proof/ARC)

YAY! I looove Marcus Sedgwick. He signed this for me on Tuesday, can't wait to read it.

• Delirium by Lauren Oliver

This is a lovely paperback edition of one of my favourite 2011 books so far. And I'm quoted inside with some blogging friends (Carla!).

• Arthur Spiderwick's Field Guide by Holly Black and Tony DiTerlizzi
• The Nixie's Song by Holly Black and Tony DiTerlizzi
• A Giant Problem by Holly Black and Tony DiTerlizzi
• The Wyrm King by Holly Black and Tony DiTerlizzi

I really enjoyed The Spiderwick Chronicles when I read them the other week so my friend sent me these Beyond the Spiderwick Chronicles books, as well as the Field Guide which is brilliant!

• Panic by Jeff Abbott

Another I didn't know much about but that sounds quite good.

• The Immortals: Everlasting by Alyson Noel

I'm behind with this series too, but I will catch up. This cover is great, and I met Alyson on Friday in Manchester. She's lovely!

• Boys for Beginners by Lil Chase

This sounds fun!

• Crypt: The Gallows Curse by Andrew Hammond (UK proof/ARC)

I'm looking forward to this, it's YA urban fantasy I think.

Bought:

• A Dance With Dragons by George R. R. Martin

I haven't read the A Song of Ice and Fire series yet but this was on offer at work so I bought it while I could. It's HUGE.

• The Day Before by Lisa Schroeder

Read and loved this. Review here.

• Forever Summer by Alyson Noel

I bought this at Alyson's signing. Sounds good.

• The People Next Door by Christopher Ransom

I needed to buy something to make it up to £15 with ADWD, so I got this (got both for £9.70. Can't argue with that!). It sounds pretty good and creepy/weird.




That's it from me this week. Happy reading everyone!
