In My Mailbox is hosted by Kristi at The Story Siren. It's a weekly meme where we all get to brag about the books and swag we got in the mail, for review, won in contests, etc.
Another busy week here at The Starry-Eyed Revue. And I got a makeover! :D So, that didn't leave a lot of time for anything else, but I did get a couple of my pre-ordered books in on Wednesday, plus I won a little something.
Won:
Mystic City by Theo Lawrence - I won an ARC from the amazing Jen at YA Romantics. (Her review can be found here.) I love books that feature memory loss because they promise lots of unexpected craziness. At least, that's what I'm hoping comes out of this book. Bring on the crazy twists and turns!
Purchased:
The Evolution of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin - I loved The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer...it was confusing and mystifying, and I still don't know if Mara is crazy or not. Can't wait to find out more about what's happening to her. Even though I have a huge "must read next" pile, I think I'm going to read this one next so I can satisfy my curiosity. :D
Finale by Becca Fitzpatrick - I know. You don't have to tell me. But I just can't NOT finish it. And once I'm done, I'll probably end up giving away the whole series. Because, yes, I bought the hardcovers of each book. Like a stalker. Like a stalker. *still shaking head at self* (Let's call it what it is...a guilty pleasure. One that I almost didn't admit to buying.)
I'm going to call this week's haul the dreary edition just because of all the blues and grays on the covers. :P

ReplyDeleteGreat list of books. All of which I would love to read. Love the new look!
ReplyDeleteI really liked Mystic City, I like what the author did with the world-building and retelling! I picked up Finale today - I hope it's as epic as everyone is saying!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your new books :)
omg YES! The Evolution of Mara Dyer and Finale! I am really excited for both of them, more exciting for Mara Dyer though because like you I still don't know whether she's crazy or not!

I got Finale too! Can't wait to read it! Love your new look!
ReplyDeleteSome nice titles there. Mystic City looks awesome and i need to read Evolution of Mara Dyer after the ending in the unbecoming of Mara Dyer.

Congrats! Mystic City looks really good :D Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteNice makeover! :D
ReplyDeleteI totally loved Mystic City! It had a very Romeo and Juliet feel to it.. it was awesome! I hope you enjoy it. :)
I am still loving the redesign!! Is it weird that I still haven't read my copy of Mara Dyer 1, and am tempted to buy number two? I'm kinda curious to hear about Finale. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteWow! You got Mystic City! Jelly! XD
