In My Mailbox #5
4 December, 2011
In My Mailbox is a meme hosted by Kristi over at The Story Siren. Let us know what books you’ve bought, borrowed or received for review!
I’ve had another fairly decent haul this week and I’m somewhat glad for the upcoming Christmas break where I can read, read, read, to my hearts content! [silly uni stopping this from happening!]
Anyway, here’s what I got this week;
purchased
My Blood Approves by Amanda Hocking
I saw both of these books and instantly wanted them! My Blood Approves is also a monthly read for one of my Goodreads groups and so I thought that it was a good time to buy it! I’m really looking forward to reading both of these though!!
borrowed
I actually got both of these books today from the library. They’re both on the monthly reads of two groups I belong to on Goodreads and I actually can’t wait to get stuck into both! I’ve seen the film of Shutter Island so I cannot wait to see if the book is just as good, time to work out if the film did it justice!

As I absolutely adored Krystle’s other book, The Scarlet Dagger (review below), I am really looking forward to reading this one and once again falling in love with one of her stories!
for review
I am really, really looking forward to reading all of these reviews! Symphony of Blood was one that I told myself I wasn’t going to sign up for because I wouldn’t have time but after I read the synopsis I simply couldn’t resist! And Bridger and Forbidden both sound absolutely incredible and I just want to get reading them now!
so that was my week!
what did you get this week?

FIRELIGHT. LOVE! <3 I was all, “Dragons? MEH. So not my thing.” But then on a whim I grabbed a copy from the library and it was SO GOOD! Love the romance and the draki mythology is so intriguing. Can’t wait to see what you think!
So many great reads you have! I’ve heard so much buzz surrounding Amanda Hocking, I so need to read one of her books. Happy reading!

Hope you like Shutter Island. The movie is a REALLY good adaption of the book so if you like the movie, you love the book. Happy reading!

Thanks for visiting my IMM, you had some great arrivals this week. I didn’t know Shutter Island was a book too. I’ve watched the movie but didn’t like it that much.
I hope you enjoy your reads! :)
Nicole
Wow, I didn’t know there was a Shutter Island book. I’ve seen the movie too, so I’ll def have to check that one out. Great IMM!
A. Knight
The draki mythology in Firelight is mind-blowing. And while I wasn’t too fond of the instalove, I’m so reading the sequel because of the world-building.
And oh my gawd, look at the rest of what you got! You’re going to be very busy!
Have a fabulous reading week!

Great IMM! I’ve heard Shutter Island is a really good read (and movie).
Thanks for visiting my IMM, I’m reviewing holiday books for the month of December (and lets face it, 31 reviews of chapter books in a month is hard, so I’m borrowing a TON of picture books from the library!)

Shutter Island is so good! It is one of my favorite book to movie adaptations.

Firelight and My Blood Approves are both on my to-read list!
How do you sign up to review books? That sounds like a lot of fun! I’m still new to the whole book reviewing thing.

Great set of books! Shutter Island is on my TBR list. I am waiting to see the movie until after I read the book!
