In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by Kristi at The Story Siren.
Slated - Teri Terry
I first discovered this book a few weeks ago. I saw the cover (with those amazing green eyes), read what the book was about and I was sold. Teen having her memory erased by the government, sounds pretty epic to me. I can't wait!
This week has been pretty epic for me. It started on Monday, getting a book by one of my favourite authors - one I've been waiting months to get my hands on - and continued to be amazing on Tuesday with an explosion of Hachette books.
Tortall and Other Lands - Tamora Pierce
I may have gone a little mental when this one arrived in the mail. Tamora Pierce is...I have no coherent words for much much I love her. I can't wait to explore the stories in this book.
Gallagher Girls (books 1-5) - Ally Carter
Thanks has to go to many people for this set of books. Pavan - for donating part of her prize to me; Lisa and Brodie - for hosting a fantastic Valentine's Day Event and Hachette - for providing the books! I've never read a spy book before - unless you count Tamora Pierce's 'Tricksters' series which involves a lot of spying, but I wouldn't really call a spy book - so I'll be interested to see if I'm a fan of spy books. I've heard great things about the series, so I'm sure I will enjoy it.

Dark Heart Rising - Lee Monroe
Yay, I'm so excited for Dark Heart Rising. Can't wait to see what Jane and Luca face this time around. Their cute romance and supernatural issues were just the fun sort of book I was looking for and I'm sure book 2 will be just as awesome.
Insurgent - Veronica Roth
Kerrie was nice enough to lend me her early copy of Insurgent this week. I feel pretty special and thankful that she let me borrow it. (still don't know what I think of the purple cover though)
And that's my mailbox for this week.

EEEEE, Kim! What an awesome IMM! I am so dying to read Slated, heard it's really good! Dark Heart Rising! I really enjoyed reading this one too. So dying to read the next book already! and INSURGENT! Hmm, I love the US cover A LOT more than the UK/AU cover but I guess it's still okay. The annoying bit is just that it doesn't match my US copy of Divergent :(
ReplyDeleteAnyway, happy reading! ♥
I'm really looking forward to reading Slated. I'm going to try and start it this weekend. I agree, the UK cover of Insurgent is still okay, but I think now that I've read the book (and someone else's copy) I might wait to buy my copy when the US version is released in paperback.
DeleteThanks for stopping by, Celine.

I hope you enjoy Gallagher Girls! They're definitely fun and light to start out ;) But hey…it's nice getting away from the dark and dramatic sometimes haha.
ReplyDeleteI never read the first Dark Heart book but I love the covers! Hope you enjoy this one :D Slated sounds so interesting too…
INSURGENT! *grabs* Well, you know how I feel about that ;)
Great haul. Hope you have a fabulous week of reading!
I'm definitely looking forward to Gallagher Girls. Light and fun sounds pretty good to me these days.
DeleteI know! Some covers these days are just gorgeous. They can't help dragging you in.

Oh! The gallagher series is pure awesomeness! Have fun reading these amazing books! I seriously love the insurgent cover! Purple is the best color ever! and the leaves in the design! I seriously can't wait for insurgent!
ReplyDeleteIf you want to read another amazing spy series, try alex rider! its the best!
My IMM!
Pure awesomeness? Ok, I'm seriously going to have to try and read the first one VERY soon.
DeleteI like the colour of Insurgent, but I'd rather have the US cover.
Thanks for the suggestion :)
Kim
You got some great books! I'm looking forward to hearing what you think of the Ally Carter series!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to try and read the first one soon because everyone keeps saying it's a really good series. I'm super curious now.
DeleteKim
I used to LOVE Tamora Pierce and was always really sad more people hadn't heard of her. I'm glad to see someone else in the world likes her work!
ReplyDeleteLaruen! I <3 you so much for also being a TP fan! I'm still sad when I find out people haven't heard of her much. She one of my favourite authors, so lots of love from me :)
DeleteKim

ReplyDeleteLol, yes it is Insurgent.
DeleteSlated! Started it yesterday and I'm loving it. Such a good book so far.
Kim
These all look great, I have read Tamora Pierce - she is really good. I love the cover of Salted and Dark Heart Rising. Is Dark Hart Rising part of a series?
ReplyDelete-Andrea
I adore Slated's cover. It's just so creepy, but cool at the same time. Yes, it's book 2 of the Dark Heart series. First book is Dark Heart Forever.
DeleteThanks for commenting.
