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.

I'm behind on posts, including this one, because my baby girl turned FOUR yesterday and I've been dealing with birthday plans, plus I'm on vacation this week, so work was extra hellish last week in preparation for my absence.  But, without further ado, here's what I found in my mailbox this last week:

Starters by Lissa Price, ARC from the publisher

Grave Mercy by Robin LaFevers, ARC from the publisher (this one doesn't have the finished cover)

All those ebook deals were thanks to my friend Jess pointing out to me that the first two books of The Dark Divine series are currently on sale.  I couldn't keep myself from browsing for more deals while I was there.  :(

So, what did the book fairy bring you this week?  Any deals?  Any much-coveted titles?  Do share...

For Review:

Monstrous Beauty by Elizabeth Fama, courtesy of Macmillan Children's Publishing Group via Netgalley
Unraveling by Elizabeth Norris, ARC from HarperCollins
Slide by Jill Hathaway, ARC from HarperCollins

  

Purchased:

Audible had a BOGO sale this past week, so I picked up the audio for a couple of books that have been on my shelf since their release.  I've really been wanting to get to both, but I just haven't found the time, so I figured I can get to them this way.  Also, just in case you were wondering, it's not uncommon for me to purchase more than one version of the same title.  I have a problem.  :)

Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater, audio
Ashes by Ilsa J. Bick, audio

Ebook deals & novellas:

Evernight by Claudia Gray, 1st book in the series is currently free from B&N

Hana by Lauren Oliver, Delirium #1.5 told from Hana's perspective

The Goddess Hunt by Aimee Carter, Goddess Test #1.5

Born at Midnight by C.C. Hunter

Daimon by Jennifer L. Armentrout

  

Did you get any surprises in your mailbox this week?  Or did you do like me and buy a second copy of something you already had?  :P

Uncovered - 2/16/12

Fabulous covers revealed this week -- and one book wasn't even on my radar until now...shocking, I know:


Amazon | Barnes & Noble | Goodreads



What's in a name, Shakespeare? I'll tell you: everything.

Rosaline knows that she and Rob are destined to be together. Rose has been waiting for years for Rob to kiss her--and when he finally does, it's perfect. But then Juliet moves back to town. Juliet, who used to be Rose's best friend. Juliet, who now inexplicably hates her. Juliet, who is gorgeous, vindictive, and a little bit crazy...and who has set her sights on Rob. He doesn't even stand a chance.

Rose is devastated over losing Rob to Juliet. This is not how the story was supposed to go. And when rumors start swirling about Juliet's instability, her neediness, and her threats of suicide, Rose starts to fear not only for Rob's heart, but also for his life. Because Shakespeare may have gotten the story wrong, but we all still know how it ends.

I wasn't aware of this book until I saw it at ALA Midwinter.  Of course, the ARC only has a black cover, which made it all mysterious and such, so I had to grab it up.  But now that I know the premise, I'm even more intrigued.  I just love a good Romeo & Juliet retelling!


Amazon | Barnes & Noble | Goodreads





In the fourth and final book in the Seven Realms series, the stakes grow ever higher as a series of murders raise tensions between the Wizard Council and Spirit Clans to a fever pitch. With treachery on every side, Han and Raisa struggle to fend off threats from ambitious neighbors while keeping the queendom from imploding from within.



I'm probably the only person I know who hasn't started this series...shoot, who hasn't even read anything by Cinda Williams Chima.  But that just means that when The Crimson Crown releases, I can read the whole series together instead of dealing with that agonizing wait between books.  Also, I do have The Warrior Heir on my Nook, but I just haven't gotten around to it.  Which series would you suggest I start with?



Amazon | Barnes & Noble | Goodreads



In the future, only one rule will matter: Don’t. Ever. Peek.

Seventeen-year-old Ari Alexander just broke that rule and saw the last person she expected hovering above her bed--arrogant Jackson Locke, the most popular boy in her school. She expects instant execution or some kind of freak alien punishment, but instead, Jackson issues a challenge: help him, or everyone on Earth will die.

Ari knows she should report him, but everything about Jackson makes her question what she’s been taught about his kind. And against her instincts, she’s falling for him. But Ari isn’t just any girl, and Jackson wants more than her attention. She’s a military legacy who’s been trained by her father and exposed to war strategies and societal information no one can know--especially an alien spy, like Jackson. Giving Jackson the information he needs will betray her father and her country, but keeping silent will start a war.

Until the cover reveal of Gravity, I hadn't heard a thing about this novel.  But it sounds right up my alley.  Aliens.  A forbidden love.  A smart heroine who should know better.  Yup.  I'm gonna have to give this one a go when it's released.  Also, the preorder price on B&N right now for this paperback is only $5.70, so it's a steal!  And you know I can't pass those up!

Are you going to pick any of these up?

This week was one of steals & deals for me:

First, Audible was having another of their awesome sales.  This time, it was for first books in popular series.  Gee, thanks, Audible.  Way to reel me in and guarantee I'll buy the rest of these awesome series.  (Honestly, though, great business practice.  :P)  The sale ends on 2/14, so check it out soon if you think you might be interested.  So, here's what I picked up in the way of audiobooks:

Some Girls Bite by Chloe Neill
Leviathan by Scott Westerfield
The Darkest Night by Gena Showalter
First Grave on the Right by Darynda Jones

Night Pleasures by Sherrilyn Kenyon

Storm Born by Richelle Mead

 

I know what you're thinking.  This woman hasn't read ANY of these series yet?!?  Yeah, I'm a little behind.  But I know a good opportunity when I see one.  And I definitely use audiobooks to get caught up on older series that I've apparently been missing out on.  Any others you'd suggest I try out?

My other steal was Jessica's Guide to Dating on the Dark Side by Beth Fantaskey, which I picked up for $3.98 at Barnes & Noble when I was pre-ordering Lady and the Tramp for my little girl.  Happy Valentine's Day to both of us, right?  :)

And then, of course, here are my ebook deals from this week:

Cold Kiss by Amy Garvey

Half-Blood by Jeniifer L. Armentrout

Cloaked by Alex Flinn

Angelfall by Susan Ee

So, did you get any Valentine's Day treats for yourself this week?
