In My Mailbox 26th February 2012

In My Mailbox is a weekly event hosted by Kristi at The Story Siren where book bloggers can talk about the books they've gotten the past week- whether bought, borrowed, swapped, or given for review. This feature was started to increase interaction between bloggers and to increase our awareness of all the new books coming out.

A good week in books for me! I got-


Bought:

• Torn by Amanda Hocking. (Goodreads). This is book 2 in the Trylle Trilogy. I won a signed copy of book 1 Switched a few weeks ago, so now I have to keep on ordering copies of these books with the gorgeous American covers so that they match! They are so pretty. Can't wait to actually read one either- not just staring at them!

From the library:

• Another Torn, this time by author Cat Clarke. (Goodreads). This sounds like a thrilling contemporary book about a tragedy on a school trip. "A compelling story of guilty secrets, troubled friendship and burgeoning love". It's getting great reviews so far and will count towards the Britsh Books Challenge.

• Witch in Winter by Ruth Warburton. (Goodreads). This is one that I've been on a waiting list for for a while, so I'm thrilled I've finally got it. It sounds like a fantastic witchy story, and it's set in Cornwall, England as well, which I love. I'm very encouraged by the fact that it's written by a former book publisher too. This is another one for the British Books Challenge. 

• Legend by Marie Lu. (Goodreads). This is another dystopian novel. There has been a lot of hype about this book, but I really like the sound of it, and haven't overdosed on dystopian books yet!

For review:

• Allegiance by Cayla Kluver. (Goodreads). This is book 2 in the Legacy series, a fantasy series. I read a review by Lisa at Read Me, Bookmark Me, Love Me and it made me desperate to read this series. When I saw it on Netgalley I couldn't resist requesting it- I've just got to try and get hold of a copy of book 1 now!

Thanks to Netgalley and Harlequin publishers for the review e-copy.





Those were my books- hope you had a good week for books too.
Happy reading!
