In My Mailbox #141: 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 an amazing week this week! I spent two days in London, met Christopher Paolini 3 times, visited various publisher friends and received many exciting books. It'll be hard to top this week for a while! I'm also glad to say I think I'm finally out of my reading slump. This calls for a Snoopy Dance a la Xander Harris!

Here's what was in my mailbox (and my trusty S&S tote bag) this week:

For review:

• Space Lizards Stole My Brain by Mark Griffiths

This sounds funny and is illustrated by the brilliant Pete Williamson!

• Eve by Anna Carey

Love the sound of this!

• The Killables by Gemma Malley (UK proof/ARC)

I am a HUGE Gemma Malley fan. Can't wait to read this.

• When You Were Mine by Rebecca Serle (US ARC)

I've heard really good things about this one.

• The 13th Horseman by Barry Hutchison (UK proof/ARC)

I've been waiting for this for AGES. I'm sure it will be hilarious!

• A Beautiful Evil by Kelly Keaton (US ARC)

I enjoyed the first book in this series and am looking forward to the sequel.

• Variant by Robison Wells

I think this is a dystopian thriller. Sounds good and great cover!

• The Straight Razor Cure by Daniel Polansky

I had heard nothing about this until Hodder gave me a copy. Looks intriguing.

• This Dark Endeavour by Kenneth Oppel

Duplicate copy which will be going to a good home.

• Fever by Lauren DeStefano (US ARC)

I still need to read Wither!

• Everlasting by Elizabeth Chandler (US ARC)

Another series I enjoy - hope this one's as good.

• The Wizard Heir by Cinda Williams Chima

This will also be going to a good home as I have a US hardback already.

• My Sister Lives on the Mantelpiece by Annabel Pitcher

A lovely paperback edition of this brilliant book. And I'm quoted on the inside back cover!

• Falling Fast by Sophie McKenzie (UK proof/ARC)

This sounds GREAT!

• And the Band Played On by Christopher Ward

Another book about Titanic. Really looking forward to reading it.

• Dead to You by Lisa McMann (US ARC)

Reading this at the moment and really enjoying it. I love Lisa McMann.

• Dear Bully by Various Authors

Sounds ace!

• Advent by James Treadwell (UK proof/ARC)

This is another I'd heard nothing about, but it sounds SO GOOD.

• Carrier of the Mark by Leigh Fallon

If the book is as good as the cover, I think I'm in for a treat!

• The Snow Child by Eowyn Ivey (UK proof/ARC)
  

Sam at Headline basically sold this to me in 2 sentences. She's good, she is. It's a pretty proof copy too.

Bought:

• Star Wars Year by Year: A Visual Chronicle by Ryder Windham, Daniel Wallace, Pablo Hidalgo and Gus Lopez

This came in at work and ended up costing me about £6. Not bad at all.

• The Art of The Fellowship of the Ring by Gary Russell
• The Art of The Two Towers by Gary Russell

I went to The Cinema Store in London and found these two gems. They're both AMAZING.

• The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern

Something about this book just keeps calling to me, and I think it's the overall look of it. Basically I just need this book on my bookshelf.

• The Inbetweeners Yearbook by Damon Beesley and Iain Morris

It's The Inbetweeners. It's hilarious. What more can I say?






Happy reading, everyone!
