In My Mailbox



This is a weekly meme hosted by the awesome Kristi at The Story Siren. It gives us a chance to showcase the books we got during the week.

I have a ton of books to show you this week, as I have two weeks worth of books.

First my review stash


Embrace by Jessica Shirvington (goodreads)
New Girl by Paige Harbison (goodreads) *not pictured Netgalley title.

A huge thank you to Raincoast Books, and Harlequin Teen/Netgalley for these two review copies.

My library stash


This Dark Endeavour by Kenneth Oppel (goodreads)
Shine by Lauren Myracle (goodreads)

Super excited for both of these titles. Savvy Reader has made me want to read This Dark Endeavour so bad. I have heard amazing things about Shine as well.

My Christmas gift stash



Incarceron by Catherine Fisher (goodreads)
Anna Dressed in Blood (goodreads) *not pictured as my friend Nikki took it to read!
Little Princes by Conor Grennan (goodreads)
Reading Like a Writer by Francine Prose (goodreads)
A Brief History of Vampires by M.J. Trow (goodreads)

That little coffin shaped thing? Blood Hot Chocolate! My friend (and former room mate) got my the vampire book and hot chocolate for Christmas. I may have a thing for vampires, and she knows this.

I am getting my friend Nikki to read Anna Dressed in Blood. I loved it, and can't wait to see what she thinks of it.

Happy reading everyone! Have a fantastic start to your New Year!

I love comments. Thank you for stopping by my blog and thank you even more for leaving me a comment.

I have decided to make this an awards free blog. I appreciate the gesture, and love that you thought of my blog, however I simply can't pass them along as required.
