In My Mailbox #16
19 February, 2012
In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by The Story Siren. Let us know what books you’ve bought, borrowed or recieved! :)
Guess what guys! I was good again! :D This was my third week without buying a single book! I bet you must all be sooo proud of me right now. Haha.
I did however, get some good books for review :-)
So, despite not buying any books, I’ve actually had a fairly good week!
paperbacks
I got really excited when Moa came! It was my first ever win on Goodreads! And, when I opened it up and looked through it, I found out that it was also signed! It is the first book I have ever recieved that’s been signed so it was a fairly good day! (Oh, and this was on valentine’s day too, so that was just awesome!)
Invincible was totally unexpected! I want to thank Madeleine at Little Brown Books for sending me this one! This is the paperback copy, it has only been out in Hardback but as of March 12th, they’ll be released with this new and awesome cover too! I’ve not read this series before but after reading the synopsis, I realised that I really wanted to and am glad that it is in my library so I’ll be reading the first and then getting to this one! It shall be good! :D

e-books
I recieved Blood Awakening and Burden of Blood from Wenona in return for an honest review and I have to admit that I’m really excited to read these two! They have good reviews on goodreads so far and the synopsises sound really good and intriguing! It will certainly be a good series to get stuck into!
Someone Else’s Life was recieved through Netgalley and after hearing some great things about this book as well, I also cannot wait to get stuck into this one! It just seems so brilliant!

Thank you for stopping by my IMM, Faye. :-)
I totally get it when you say not buying a single book in three weeks is a great accomplishment. :D I can’t seem to stop myself from buying more books than I can read as well!
Congrats on winning MOA! It looks really interesting! I’m checking it out. ;) You’re really lucky, too, ’cause it says on Goodreads that there’s only one copy available! And it went to you!
I have Someone Else’s Life on the to-read list too. Gotta read it this soon! :-)

Thanks for visiting my IMM! I really wish I had enough willpower to go on a book buying ban. I just can’t do it!! Haha. Congratulations on your first Goodreads win! That’s really exciting. :) I love winning things! MOA sounds good! I hope you enjoy it.

Very nice haul this week. I too have refrained from buying a book for one whole month. It has been hard. My IMM is about the books I won this month.

That’s a great book haul. Congrats on your first Goodreads win. Winning becomes a bit addictive, I have to say, lol. Both the books on my IMM post this week are GR wins.

Haha. I’m glad I finally figured out who recommended Meeting Destiny, because it was driving me up the wall! I won’t hate you if I don’t like it. :P

You may be the only blogger I’ve seen who can refrain from buying books for more than a week or two! I always crack after a week or two. ;)
You got some great books though! Someone Else’s Life is soooo good!
