In My Mailbox #136: 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 received some really exciting books in the post this week. I've heard lots of good stuff about Ashes and Virtuosity, so I hope I enjoy them as much as other people have. I also bought loads of Marvel graphic novels but I'm feeling too lazy to type all those up. I had a bit of an Amazon spending spree in celebration of Monday's bank holiday. Well, that's my excuse anyway ;)

Here are my new books this week! (Oh, and sorry for the bad pics. My camera's charging).

For review:

• Crusade: The Damned by Nancy Holder and Debbie Viguie

I need to read the first one of these, and soon!

• Shelter by Harlan Coben

Sounds cool and I've never read anything by this author. Will give it a go.

• Pure by Julianna Baggott (UK proof/ARC)
  

Looking forward to this one, and love the shiny new proof!

• Ashes by Ilsa Bick (UK proof/ARC)

Can't wait to read this one!

• Prized by Caragh O'Brien

Also need to read Birthmarked...

• Virtuosity by Jessica Martinez

Been looking forward to this one for a while. Hope it's good!

• Frogspell by C. J. Busby

This sounds fun!

• Secrets at St Jude's: Party Girl by Carmen Reid

Yay, I love this series! *dances!*

Bought:

• The Art of Captain America - The First Avenger by Marvel Comics
  
• The Art of Thor the Movie by Marvel Comics

These two films are possibly my favourites of the year so far, and these books are beautiful. It's really interesting to see the whole process of bringing these comic book heroes to life.

• The Art of Avatar by Lisa Fitzpatrick

Saw this for £2.99 so obviously I bought it immediately!

• Marvel Chronicle by Tom DeFalco

This is going to keep me busy for a LONG time!

• Iron Man: The Ultimate Guide to the Armoured Superhero by Matthew Manning

Saw this for £6.99 in one of my favourite shops: The Works. Same again on keeping me busy for a while.

• The Illustrated Gormenghast Trilogy by Mervyn Peake

Marcus Sedgwick recommended this book to me the other month. It sounds ace and right up my street.





Happy reading!
