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.
Woohoo! Three-day weekend!!! More time to read! And the weather here in North Texas is supposed to be pretty nice, low- to mid-60s. I intend to get out on my patio at some point with a good book. =)
For Review:
Dark Triumph by Robin LaFevers - I loveloveloved Grave Mercy when I read it as an ARC last year and although I'd like to continue Ismae's story, I'm also very excited to read Sybella's. I almost dropped everything else to read this when it first arrived.
Boundless by Cynthia Hand - I did drop everything to read Boundless when it showed up in my mailbox. It might possibly have been the finale I was most anxiously anticipating in 2013. Find my spoiler-free review here, and stop back by on the 24th for my stop on the Boundless Blog Tour!
Altered by Jennifer Rush - I've been waiting (not so) patiently for my turn on the DAC ARC Tour, while all my friends have read (and loved) Altered. It's finally here, and I can't wait to love it, too!
And I got my signed Through the Ever Night bookplate and bookmark plus an awesome temporary tattoo from the amazing Veronica Rossi!
Huge thanks to Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, HarperTeen, DAC ARC Tours & Veronica Rossi for these awesome, awesome books and swag!!!
You guys! I walked into a bookstore yesterday and didn't buy a single thing! But that's probably because it was B&N and I know I can get everything cheaper online. =) I'm serious, though...those gift cards aren't going to last much longer. :P

You can hate me over Siege and Storm and if I can hate you over Dark Triumph. ;)
ReplyDeleteThat is a pretty awesome haul of books! I can't wait to hear what you think about Altered and of course, EEP! Boundless! Sadly, I still need to read Grave Mercy but I totally plan to within the next few months, before the author comes here in May. Enjoy! :)
ReplyDeleteCome see what books I got!
I need to catch up with Cynthia Hand's books. I have only read Unearthly.
