In My Mailbox: Week 52

Just a quick note: I hope everyone had an awesome holiday! Mine was great. Hubby was home since Christmas and started back to work today. :( I miss him so much! See my previous post about where I’ve been! I will be posting reviews so stay tuned. :)

Here’s what I got the last few weeks!

Christmas Gifts




Fallen by Lauren Kate



Swoon by Nina Malkin



Leviathan by Scott Westerfeld



Feed by M.T. Anderson



Impossible by Nancy Werlin



A Certain Slant of Light by Laura Whitcomb

All of these I requested (all but 1 came from hubby!) and I can’t wait to read them all!

I’m currently reading Fallen. It’s not as good as I was hoping it to be. It’s rather slow and anti-climatic.

I also got a ton of necklaces! My favorite is this one:

It was purchased at The Well Dressed Reader, which has some awesome book lover jewelry!

For Review





Shadow by Jenny Moss

In a time of kings, queens, and conspiracy, it's impossible to know whom one can trust. . . .

In a kingdom far away and long ago, it was prophesied at her birth that the queen would die before her sixteenth birthday. So Shadow, an orphan girl the same age as the young queen, was given the duty to watch her every move. And as prophesies do tend to come true, the queen is poisoned days before her birthday. When the castle is thrown into chaos, Shadow escapes with a young knight, whom she believes was betrothed to the queen.

Unsure of why she is following Sir Kenway, but determined to escape as far as possible from the castle, her long-time prison, Shadow sets off on an adventure with the handsome knight who has been charged with protecting her. As mystery builds, and romantic tension does, too, Shadow begins to wonder what her role in the kingdom truly is. Soon, she learns, it is up to her to save her land.

Jenny Moss's novel is a lyrical, fast-paced adventure filled with mystery, magic, honor, and romance that will lead readers on an incredible journey.

So that’s what I’ve received! I can’t wait to read all of these!

  2. I couldn't wait to read Fallen and was so disappointed. I recently finished Impossible too. Need was ok, thought it would be a bit better--it was better than Fallen! I liked Beautiful Creatures. Can't wait to see all your reviews!

    I'm currently reading Dead Girl's Dance (Morganville Vampires book 2), Tempted (House of Night) and Eternal. Yes, I'm reading on all 3 at once. I bought the Morganville book but my library has an AWESOME YA section and I picked up several I was planning on buying.

    Too bad about Fallen. I hate when that happens. It happened with The Dark Divine for me.
