In My Mailbox #9



Hello, honorary librarians!


In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by the lovely Kristy at The Story Siren. Here's what my poor mailman had to carry around this week:




Blood of the Demon by Diana Rowland
Hounded by Kevin Hearne
First Grave on the Right by Darynda Jones
Second GRave on the Left by Darynda Jones
Third Grave Dead Ahead by Darynda Jones
The Replacement by Brenna Yovanoff
These are all book I either owned in e-format, or already owned but gave away. In any case, I loved them all so much that I just had to order physical copies/replace them. Now I can look at them on my shelf and reread them a trillion times if I want to. (I also hug them occasionally, psssst.)


I also bought: 



Don't you just love the new paperback edition of Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys? That is one of the most amazing books I've ever read, so powerful and touching, and although it has many covers, this one is my favorite. I preordered Gone, Gone, Gone by Hannah Moskowitz the second I finished reading the arc. I know I'll want to reread it many times in the future. I'm also incredibly excited about The Book of Blood and Shadow. This is one of those times when I simply had to have the paperback because the cover is so much prettier. I'll be reading/reviewing it sometime next week.

Here's some of what I received for review: 




A Brighter Fear by Kerry Drewery
Immortal City by Scott Speer
Struck by Jennifer Bosworth (I accidentally received an extra copy of Struck so I'll probably give it away sometime next week.)





Something Strange and Deadly by Susan Dennard
Echoes of the Past by Tim Marquitz
Clarity by Kim Harrington

Thank you to HarperCollins UK, Scholastic UK, Macmillan, HarperTeen and Tim Marquitz.

I apologize for the messy formatting. Blogger has a mind of its own today.

What did you get this week?

  2. Gone, Gone, Gone sounds amazing, I just had a look on Goodreads and will definitely have to add it to my TBR list! I still love the cover for Struck, and the new cover for Between Shades of Grey is stunning, too. Happy reading!

  3. You got some fantastic books this week, Maja! I have the same copy of The Book of Blood and Shadow but I still haven't read it and I have read good things about the Replacement so it must be good if you just had to order yourself a copy. I also want Gone, gone, gone and Between Shades of Grey!

  15. AWESOME week. O_O The Replacement, Gone, Gone, Gone, Between Shades of Gray, The Book of Blood and Shadow, Struck, Something Strange & Deadly, Clarity . . . very high levels of awesome. Also, regarding The Book of Blood and Shadow, I wish they had those paperbacks in the US; the US hardcover is nice, but that cover is just gorgeous. I'm tempted to order one of those.

    Oh Maja, you are my favourite =)!
    I really want to read the First Grave on the Right series! I also adore the UK covers. I have a list of books going that I want the UK version of and I am hoping to order them for myself soon!

    Between Shades of Gray has been on my radar for a while and I really want to pick it up soon!

    These are fabulous books -- just like you!

  25. Hahaha your poor mailman, indeed! x) (My mailman is just lucky that he usually comes around while I'm still at school -- otherwise I'd probably give him the biggest bear hug! Just like you hug your books <3)

    But you have some AMAZING books this week, Maja! I know how that you didn't like Struck as much as you hoped, but I'm super-happy that you DID like Clarity -- and I've heard some interesting things about Something Strange and Deadly and some awesome things about The Book of Blood and Shadow! I'm excited to hear your thoughts on those ones too :) Have a FANTASTIC day, Maja! <3

  26. You have such exciting covers for things over there. I'm always so jealous! I love the way the spines for the Jones series look. Perhaps a picture of your bookshelf is in order? (read: I want to see your bookshelves) Also, I'm really liking Hounded so far:) x

  27. Excuse me while I...........

    REYES!!!!!!!! *faints* Yes, I can definitely understand the need to have him on your shelf, which reminds me, I need to get myself a copy of Third Grave Dead Ahead!

    There is lots to love in your stash this week, Maja. I might be a little green with envy right now. ;)
