In My Mailbox #139: 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, including Diamonds and Doom! Yay! I also got addicted to Downton Abbey and watched Series 1 just in time for the new series starting tonight. All in all, it's been an excellent week!

Here's what was in my mailbox:

For review:

• The Raven Mysteries: Diamonds and Doom by Marcus Sedgwick

YAY!! I love love love this series, but I'm sad this is the end.

• Struts & Frets by Jon Skovron

I read, reviewed and enjoyed this one when I first read it in hardback. Great music-themed book.

• Pure by Julianna Baggott (UK proof/ARC)

I think this is now my third proof copy of Pure. Better read it soon.

• Sweetly by Jackson Pearce (UK proof/ARC)

Looking forward to this one!

• Talespinning by David J. Howe

I had never heard of this until it arrived but it sounds right up my street.

• The Raven Mysteries: Vampires and Volts by Marcus Sedgwick

Already read and reviewed this one, and of course loved it. I keep all the paperbacks too though.

• Envy by Gregg Olsen

Looking forward to finally getting to this one too.

• Darkness Falls by Mia James

This was a nice unexpected surprise!

• Sir Quinton Quest Hunts the Yeti by Kaye Umansky

Sounds fun!

• The Warrior Heir by Cinda Williams Chima

I read this one almost 3 years ago and am glad to see it now published in the UK!

• The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight by Jennifer E. Smith (UK proof/ARC)

I already read this months ago and it's one of my favourite contemporaries of recent years. I, along with some other bloggers, am quoted in this proof too. Ace!

Bought:

• The Wedding Girl by Sophie Kinsella writing as Madeleine Wickham
• Cocktails for Three by Sophie Kinsella writing as Madeleine Wickham
• Sleeping Arrangements by Sophie Kinsella writing as Madeleine Wickham

I love Sophie Kinsella's books but have never tried these ones. The boxset was £5 - bargain!

• The World of Downton Abbey by Jessica Fellowes

As I mentioned above, I got addicted to this show this week. The companion book is fantastic.

• Stitch Head by Guy Bass

This looks like my kind of thing, and Pete Williamson has done the illustrations. Double cool!

• Cudweed's Birthday by Marcus Sedgwick

Just had to complete the Raven Mysteries collection. :D





Happy reading everyone!
