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 need summer to last a couple months longer -- I mean the time between school years, not just the season. (We pretty much have six months -- at least -- of summer here in North Texas.) So I can take another vacation. So I can get more books read. And so I can stop freaking out about my baby starting kindergarten at the end of August. I'm just not ready!
For Review:
click on covers to be taken to the Goodreads page for each book
Keeping Her by Cora Carmack - Love this series! I've already read this novella and I shall be reviewing it on Short Story Sunday this week. :D
Conjured by Sarah Beth Durst - Amnesia? Magic-wielding serial killer? I am all over this one!
White Space by Ilsa J. Bick - The Matrix meets Inkheart? That. Sounds. AMAZING! I love her Ashes trilogy -- I'll be reading the final book in that series VERY soon -- and can't wait to see what she does with this new series!
The Shadow Prince by Bree Despain - I'm gonna be honest...this will be my first Bree Despain book. But I love the Persephone myth, so I couldn't pass it up. :)

The Week in Review:
Reviews:
Promotional/Discussion Posts: SYNC's 2013 Week 9 offerings are up for download, with Grave Mercy and Hamlet up for grabs this week -- FOR FREE! The Truth AND Dare Blog Tour hosted by Paper Lantern Lit has kicked off. And I helped reveal the cover for Secret, the fourth book in Brigid Kemmerer's Elementals series! Also, I teased Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea and waited on Evertrue.
Jen's Currently Reading/Listening To:
Dude. I wasn't supposed to read this yet. But it had been calling to me ever since I discussed it with my friend Lauren, and I couldn't say no any longer. Plus, I've been wanting to do a re-read of Angelfall which I don't have time for. And I've heard this is an angel book on the same level as that one. And so far, IT IS. Very readable. Very.
I was having trouble deciding on my next listen -- too many choices -- so I decided to re-listen to an old favorite. Check out my review to see why I love it so.

ermahgerd. i want the liberator. *kicks you*
ReplyDeleteI am really wanting to read White Space and Into the Dark. I've not requested them yet but am so tempted to (though my ARC pile is growing intimidating). Wonderful haul!
ReplyDeleteMy Friends Are Fiction
I got White Space and The Shadow Prince, too. I can't wait to read them as well as your own reviews on both. I haven't read Angelfall yet :{, but I'm going to have to pick up Shadows soon. It sounds fantastic. Hope you enjoy all your new reads!

Nice books, Jen. I'm looking forward to Keeping Her!
ReplyDeleteThe jump to kindergarten is so scary at first! *holds hand* It gets better. I think I was more freaked out for the anticipation of the first day.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to hear what you think about Proxy!
I can't wait to hear what you think of the Proxy Audiobook. I'm looking for a new book to buy but wrestling with which to buy next. Great haul this week btw. Happy reading!!
ReplyDeleteWeekly Wrap Up
I can't wait to read Conjured. It looks so awesome. White Space looks intriguing, too. I hear you, I could definitely use an extra vacation as well. Great haul this week!
