In My Mailbox #3

Another Sunday, another great IMM. This is a feature hosted by the amazing Story Siren and even though we're new here, we love it!

Without further ado, let's find out what we got in our IMMs this week:

Maja’s IMM:

Apparently, my mailman is on vacation and they have no one to replace him, so I didn’t get everything I ordered this week. But fear not, my precious book lovers, something did come, albeit a little late.

I got the beautiful 2010 HarperCollins UK edition of Looking For Alaska, even though it’s paperback, and I’m not a big fan of paperbacks, no siree Bob. Books are meant to last and they’re supposed to survive for generations, and besides, I get apoplexy when someone breaks the spine on one of my books. It’s a capital offense. … whoa, getting a little sidetracked here.
I also got Suicide Notes by Michale Thomas Ford, an amazing book that kind of went unnoticed, so I urge you to get a copy and read it as soon as possible, it will be good for you. I already had this book, but I gave it away to my sister and I absolutely had to replace it. That’s how good it is. If you don’t believe me, please read Lisa’s fantabulastic review.
I got Room from my library because I’m not quite sure that I’ll like it so I didn’t want to risk buying a copy just yet. Fortunately, it’s popular enough that even my little Croatian library has it in English. *cue the Macarena* I’ll let you guys know how it goes.

On the other side of the Adriatic, as per usual, another mailbox was waiting to be filled out...


Lisa's IMM:

This was my first week of work after a loooong time so I didn’t have really much time (nor strength) to acquire lots of books. In fact, the only one I really looked for is Bittersweet by Sarah Ockler, which everybody seems to have read and loved last week so my expectations are pretty high - let’s hope it lives up to them.

The other two books were offered to me for review; I had all intentions of reading Poughkeepsie by Debra Anastasia after some glowing reviews on GR - luckily, the lovely Debra Anastasia herself later that week became my friend and kindly offered me a copy, which I promptly accepted.
Darkhouse by Karina Halle finally showed up in my mailbox after quite a long wait (postmen do get lazy sometimes, right Maja? I got your Christmas card today after ONLY 45 days), and I am quite eager to read this one, hoping it will follow the lead of the other great self-published I read last year and earlier this year (GASP! Angelfall...).
That’s it for this week lovely ladies - and gentlemen, if you are reading this too - hope you have a relaxing Sunday and a productive week ahead of you!


Your favorite European duo,
Lisa and Maja
