It also gives me a chance to be nosy and see what everyone else has got to read, and so gives me plenty of new books to pine after!
Seriously AMAZING book haul this week- check it out!

I told you!
This week I spent the rest of my Amazon vouchers from my birthday, then I made use of the 10% off discount at The Book Depository, then I discovered an incredible site called FishpondWorld, (an Australian booksite with free worldwide shipping) where I found a lot of the American hardbacks that I had been pining for on Amazon (but which were too expensive) were only about half the price on there. I think I did a little happy dance for nearly all of these when they dropped through the door!
Ones that I am most excited to read are Sweet Venom Tera Lynn Childs, and Tiger's Voyage by Colleen Houck, which is book 3 in the fantastic Tiger series. Reckoning is the 5th and FINAL book in the Strange Angels series which I love so much and can't wait to see how it ends (Team Graves!). So Silver Bright Lisa Matchev is book 3 in the Theatre Illuminata series- I loved book 1, which was so original and fun, but I still haven't read book 2 yet. Breadcrumbs by Anne Ursu is a retelling of the fairytale The Snow Queen. Steel by Carrie Vaughn sounds like a fantastic read with action, adventure, pirates and time travel, and then Faerie Ring and Watched- I'm not too sure what they're about but look at how pretty the covers are!
Descended By Blood- fantastic review by Ashley at The Bookish Brunette.
Deadly Cool- this looks like such a funny book- check out this review by Lesley at My Keeper Shelf.
Drink, Slay, Love- It was this review and then the book-boyfriend post by Missie at The Unread Reader that sold this book to me. Vampires and unicorns in a unique supernatural romance story.
From the Library:
The Name of the Star by Maureen Johnson. I'm really looking forward to reading this book- I've heard so many great things about it. It is a historical book set in London about (or featuring) Jack the Ripper (I think).
For Review:
Saving June by Hannah Harrington. I didn't originally take any notice of this book, but then the reviews started coming in- all 5 stars! The reviews that I read (that I now can't find grrr!) made it sound so much better than the blurb on the actual book. I don't read a lot of contemporary books but this one looks cool, funny, and heartbreaking all in one- so excited to read this now!
Touch of Power by Maria V. Snyder. I love Maria Snyder's books, so even though I'm not entirely sure what this book is about (something magical) I still can't wait to read this book.
Thanks to Harlequin publishers and Netgalley for the advance e-copies of these books.
So, those were the books that came into my house this past week... yikes, I had better get reading...!
What did you get in your mailbox?
Happy reading!

Great mailbox! Loved a lot of these and quite a few should be arriving in my mailbox for review soon ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm an Aussie but had no idea Fishpond had free shipping! That's fantastic. I've only bought from the once and that was early 2011, I think. Back then there was a delivery charge!! Must go investigate!
