In My Mailbox #76

Saturday, April 6, 2013 with 12 comments



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 weekend:  this morning I'm participating in The Color Run with my younger sis, then we're finally going to go see The Host, and then tonight we're going to the Victoria Scott signing/launch party for The Collector.  Squee!!!!  I hope you all got lots of goodies this week!  Have a great weekend!   =)


For Review:

This is W.A.RThe Pirate's Wish (The Assassin's Curse, #2)Firecracker
Click on the images above to be taken to the Goodreads page for each book.


This is W.A.R. by Lisa & Laura Roecker - Revenge stories are the best.  I haven't read their other series, but if this is half as good as it sounds, I'll be picking those Liar Society books up next.

The Pirate's Wish by Cassandra Rose Clarke - I think I squealed a little bit a lot when my friend Em told me this was up on Netgalley.  I just finished listening to the first book and promptly downloaded the short story from Naji's POV and was dying for more.  I even made this my WoW pick this week before I knew it was available for review.

Firecracker by David Iserson - If I hadn't gotten that email from Penguin yesterday, I don't know when I would have discovered this one.  It sounds hilarious, but even better?  This guy writes for one of my favorite shows!  View the book trailer, with cameos from several of New Girl's stars.



Purchased:

My pre-ordered copies of The Collector finally arrived!!!

Like I said, I'm going to the signing tonight, but I also posted my review yesterday as part of the 2013 Belongs to Dante tour.  Be sure to check that out and enter for your chance to win Victoria Scott's Nook Color!




So, that's my haul.  I think I did pretty good this week.  How about you?  What did you get this week?





The Week in Review:

Reviews:  The Witch's Betrayal (SSS), Dead Silence & The Collector:  A Dante Walker Novel

Current Giveaways:  Fool for Books Giveaway Hop, Dead Silence giveaway - tour sponsored, The Collector giveaway - tour sponsored

Recent Winners:  January won the A is for Audiobook Giveaway

Tours/Promotional Posts:  Dead Silence Blog Tour & 2013 Belongs to Dante Tour

Currently Reading:

The Eternity Cure (Blood of Eden, #2)
Taken (Taken, #1)Buddy reading this one with my friend Em.  Pretty much, we're both hoping for some more Kanin.  We're on schedule to read three chapters a night, but things are starting to get good, so I have a feeling we'll break that deal over the w/e.  :D


I am seriously considering my first DNF review with this one.  It's really disappointing (and frustrating) considering I was highly anticipating its release.


Currently Listening:

This Is What Happy Looks Like



I felt like listening to something cute and fluffy after finishing my re-read/listen of Graceling.  Don't worry, I'll pick up Fire soon; I just wanted to listen to something that would lift my spirits.  I hope this one doesn't disappoint!






The Week Ahead:

Reviews of Graceling (audio), Taken, This is What Happy Looks Like (audio) & Arclight

Also, I'm one of the Elementals Virgins on the Spirit Blog Tour hosted by The Midnight Garden!  You can read more about it over there, but check back soon for details on the read along I'm co-hosting with Steph from Cuddlebuggery!

  8. I didn't know about This Is War and would never have thought it's a revenge story from the cover o.O Love those!! :D
    I'm sad to hear you're not enjoying Taken though :( Everyone was so excited about it! I hope you'll enjoy Eternity Cure more, and there damn better be some Kanin :P
