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 missed last week's post because of back problems, so this is a recap of two week's worth of books...
For Review:
Taken by Erin Bowman - Boys being mysteriously taken at midnight on their eighteenth birthday. I'm all kinds of curious as to why. Plus, it sounds like it's written from a male POV, which I love.
Thanks to HarperTeen & Edelweiss.
The Darkest Minds by Alexandra Bracken - All I needed to hear was "frightening abilities" to know I wanted to read this book. Plus, everyone I know has really enjoyed it.
Thanks to Disney Hyperion & Netgalley.
Poison by Bridget Zinn - POISON! Traveling with her ex-boyfriend and a too-cute pig? Sounds like fun times. Can't wait to get started on this one!
Thanks to Disney Hyperion & Netgalley.
The Demon Lover by Juliet Dark - I'd seen a lot of positive feedback from friends who've read this one, so I decided to check it out myself. Not YA but not far from my usual read, so I'm game. =)
Thanks to Random House & Netgalley.
Not Exactly a Love Story by Audrey Couloumbis - I'm all about quirky little love stories these days, and this one sounds super fun! And it's set in the 70s!!!
Thanks to Random House & Netgalley.

I really want to read not exactly a love story! Hope you enjoy it :)
ReplyDeleteYou got some really great books. I want to read Taken, and have had my eye on The Darkest Mind. I have read the first book in The Birth Marked Trilogy, and it was good. Hope you Enjoy them.
ReplyDeleteI'm reading Darkest Minds now and recently finished Not Exactly a Love Story. Curious to see what you think about that one. It's like old-school contemporary YA -- no vampires or paranormal powers or swoony stuff. I enjoyed it!
ReplyDeleteOMG JEN TAKEN AND POISON!!! *lucky* I have also been interested in The Demon Lover. Also Congrats on winning all of those AWESOME books and Signed!!! @_@ Woah.
ReplyDelete-Keep on rocking,

WOW, what a great bunch of swag you won! Shadow & Bone is outstandingly good and one of my 2012 favourites, I hope you like it too! :) Also, Taken's cover has me drooling and I love YA books from a male's POV. I hope you enjoy your goodies. :)
ReplyDeleteI wanna hug your face. I think you're awesome, too! Hope you enjoy those bad boys!
ReplyDeleteAlso - so jealous about Taken and The Darkest Minds. And I TOLD YOU you'd get accepted for The Demon Lover. ;)
