In My Mailbox (90)

In My Mailbox is hosted by Kristi at The Story Siren and is where we share the books we got through the week.  
I'm not accepting many review books this year and didn't get any this week {it sure is nice getting some books read that I've owned for a long time!} but I did get quite a few that came in at paperbackswap and I ordered a couple as well.  
My camera isn't showing up when I plug it in to the computer so I'm not able to share pictures, but from Holly Cupala I got awesome Don't Breathe a Word swag.  A magnet for myself, lots of bookmarks and stickers to share along with some poster flier things that I plan to take down to the library and the Indie bookstores.  Big thank you to Holly!  It was an awesome package!

Paperbackswap:
Kiss Me Kill Me (Scarlett Wakefield #1) by Lauren Henderson {I've heard this series is great!  It's a YA mystery set in England.}

How I Live Now by Meg Rosoff {I saw a review for this one and it sounds so different!}

Corsets & Clockwork Anthology {I bought this one when it came out but ended up giving it away.  I'm very happy to have another copy!}

Darkness Calls (Hunter Kiss #2) by Marjorie Liu {I loved the first one! Can't wait to continue the series!}

Bought:
Dragonswood by Janet Lee Carey {I plan to attend her signing on Monday}

Skinwalker (Jane Yellowrock #1) by Faith Hunter {I've been told this series is great and I got the most recent for review.  I picked up this first one used for cheap.}


So that's what was in my mailbox.  What was in yours?

  2. I've had Skinwalker sitting on my shelf for two years now and still haven't read it. I'll definitely be checking out your review for it, see if that will help me get into the mood for it! Happy reading. :)

    My IMM!

  10. I know what you mean about getting the chance to read and review some of the books that you've owned for awhile. A giant review pile can make that a rarity, so I'm accepting less review books this year as well.

  14. I'm hoping to have my review up of the final Scarlett Wakefield book soon. It is a really good series. Of the four, books #2 and #3 are my faves. Enjoy!

  18. I'll need to check out How I Live Now, it sounds interesting! And I know how you feel, I'm not accepting review copies at the moment either - I don't have much time now plus sometimes it's nice to read your own books you purchased a while ago. :)

    Great haul, I hope you enjoy them all!
    Here's my IMM for this week.

    Have a nice weekend!

  20. Dragonswood!!! It's amazeballs, and I hope you love it as much as I did. :-)

  21. How I Live Now was good, but very different. :) Some people had mixed feelings on it.

  22. Great books this week...and the wonderful thing about no review books (not that review books are not wonderful too!) is that you 100% picked each one of them!

    I'm going to check out Dragonswood and How I Live Now!

  27. Oh my gosh, you have Dragonswood!! I think I might be in love with that cover, and it's so cool that you're going to her signing soon -- I've actually never been to one before! Can you believe that?? LOL! x)

    Awesome mailbox this week, Candace! I really hope you love all of your books and have tons of fun at the signing! :) <3

  28. I don't know about you, but my Paper Back Swap account has been extremely busy lately. I've had to spend some money shipping books out and added some books from my stash to my bookshelf, but I had four come in this week that had been on my list forever!

    I'm all for getting caught up on the books on your shelf, but that first book looks really good!

  29. Hmmm... the cover for Kiss Me Kill Me is so emo. LOL

    And I wasn't the biggest fan of How I Live Now, but it is an interesting read. Looking forward to your thoughts on it. :)
