Letterbox Love #9


The UK edition of In My Mailbox, showcasing the wonderful books we've been given, bought or won over the last week. Hosted by Lynsey at Narratively Speaking. Even though I'm now an international, this is a fantastic meme! All links will take you to the Goodreads page for that book.


So it's not been a good week for me.


Okay, so before you go all Boo you whore on me, I really am. It's not fun, as I have to take the most disgusting cough medicine in the world and even though I have so much to do, all I am doing is sleeping. On the plus side, I've eaten a lot of icecream and slept a lot. And read books. And slept. 

For Review

Something Like Normal by Trish Dollar
Poison Princess by Kelsey Cole
Sacrifice by Cayla Kluver

A big thank you to the lovely people at Bloomsbury Australia, Simon & Schuster Australia and Harlequin Teen Australia!

Some fantastic books on this pile! If you haven't had a chance to, you HAVE to read Something Like Normal. It was amazing! And I'm looking forward to Poison Princess as well, although I'm a little wary of magic and post-apocalyptic mixed together as genres. But we'll see! :D

Bought

Chosen Ones by Tiffany Truitt
A Beautiful Dark by Jocelyn Davies
On the Jellicoe Road by MelinaMarchetta
The Immortal Rules by Julie Kagawa
Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick
Silence by Becca Fitzpatrick
Half Blood by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Wooo! All these books are packed full of awesomesauce. I love them all! Although I haven't read The Immortal Rules, Silence and On the Jellicoe Road yet, but I cannot wait!! And by the way, this was two weeks worth of books. I know I have an addiction, but still. I'm not that bad! :D

And then to be totally fangirling, I went and saw The Beach Boys on Thursday night who were ABSOLUTELY AMAZING OMG LIKE REALLY REALLY AMAZING. I love oldies music, and the Beach Boys have been my boy band crush since my Dad first played their record for me when I was eight. Take note, One Direction. You've got a long way to go yet!

How has your week been? Don't forget to hit me up with your book love fro this week!

  1. Aahhhh you saw the Beach Boys! I love them, my dad gave me a cassette tape of them when I was a little kid and I've been a huge fan ever since. Hope you enjoy your books this week!

  2. Boo, you whore.

    Now that that's been said, I'm so sorry to hear you sick, being sick is the WORST and yucky cough medicine? Aw! *hugs from afar* Hope you feel better soon :)

    Something Like Normal is my favourite 2012 release. SO GOOD. On the Jellicoe Road is my favourite book ever. *swoons* I LOVE IT. Confessions of an Angry Girl is such fun! The Hush, Hush series is addictive. I read the first book in 24 hours. I inhaled it. And Patch? SWOON ALERT.

    Enjoy all your book, lovely! ♥

  4. BOO YOU WH- oh. You really are sick :( *hugs while wearing hazmat suit* I hope you feel better soon! Sleep and ice cream are good, but much preferred when you're feeling GOOD, not crap.

    I am super excited to read Something Like Normal and Poison Princess! I've been hearing AMAZING things. Must acquire asap.

    And gah, On The Jellicoe Road. Everyone is talking about that lately! Clearly the universe is sending me a message? Silence is also my fave in the series, so I hope you like!

    FAB HAUL THIS WEEK. HAPPY READING! And may you feel on top of the world as soon as possible <3
