In My Mailbox #15


In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by Kristi at The Story Siren.


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.



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!







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.

  1. 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 :(

    Anyway, happy reading! ♥

    1. 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.

      Thanks for stopping by, Celine.

    INSURGENT! *grabs* Well, you know how I feel about that ;)

    1. Pure awesomeness? Ok, I'm seriously going to have to try and read the first one VERY soon.

      I like the colour of Insurgent, but I'd rather have the US cover.

      Thanks for the suggestion :)

  5. 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!

  8. 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?

    1. 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.

      Thanks for commenting.
