In My Mailbox #74

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.

How is it that on the first official day of spring, the weather decided to take a nose-dive?  Now it's yucky and gross and cold again (well, for Texas).  Guess you know what I'll be doing all weekend!  Especially with all these new goodies!  =)

physical copies - look at all the shiny!

Look at all of those awesome covers!!!!


For Review:

Dead Silence by Kimberly Derting - look for my review & a giveway as part of the Dead Silence Blog Tour on April 4th!
Loki's Wolves by Kelly Armstrong & Melissa Marr - sounds like a fun middle-grade novel, plus Norse mythology, yay!
Thin Space by Jody Casella - righting the wrongs of the living...and the dead...color me intrigued
The Bitter Kingdom by Rae Carson - this should need no explanation as it is one of my favorite fantasy series ever.  HECTOR!!!
Not a Drop to Drink by Mindy McGinnis - this one sounds eerie but also a bit like times before the country was settled & I'm really looking forward to it, plus the cover gave me a Wizard of Oz vibe, so you know I'm all over that.  :)
The Burning Sky by Shelly Thomas - MAGIC!!!  Yes, please!
The Chaos of Stars by Kiersten White - I have been suckered by the cover.  This is White's last chance to impress me.  Shouldn't be too hard with Egyptian mythology, but that's what I thought about sister assassins, too.
Some Quiet Place by Kelsey Sutton - such a pretty cover and emotions manifested as people?  Sounds awesome!

Thanks to Simon & Schuster, Little, Brown, HarperCollins, Flux, Edelweiss & Netgalley for the review copies!

Purchased:

Clockwork Princess by Cassandra Clare - audio & hardcover -- WHAT?  I needed to see that family tree for myself!  But I just couldn't wait to start so I got the audio, too.  :P
Requiem by Lauren Oliver - Now I can read that Alex chapter!!!
With All My Soul by Rachel Vincent - Time to say goodbye to yet another group of characters I've grown to love over the years.  Even Sabine and Sophie.  =)
