In My Mailbox #19


In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by The Story Siren, where we spotlight the books that we've received for review, swapped, or purchased that week. It's a really great idea and I'm excited to take part! :)


FOR REVIEW: 

Take a Bow Elizabeth Eulberg
Perception by Kim Harrington
Fairy Blues by J.L. Bryan
Article 5 by Kristen Simmons (read my 5-star review here)
Masque of the Red Death by Bethany Griffin
Of Poseidon by Anna Banks

Don't they all look so beautiful??? I didn't think this much awesomeness could ever exist in one mailbox before!! Thank you SO much to Scholastic Canada, J.L. Bryan, Tor Teen,  HarperCollins Canada, and Macmillian, who all make "amazing" look mediocre! Really, truly, honestly thank you! :)


WON: 

Tempest by Julie Cross (audiobook)

I've never owned an audiobook before, so it made me really happy! Thankyouthankyouthankyou to Macmillan for sending it and to the awesome Giselle @ Xpresso Reads for hosting the contest! Go visit her blog she's one reason why I'm proud to be Canadian! ;)

Eeeeeep!! You wouldn't believe how many times I danced because of books that arrived in my mailbox this week! My parents laughed every time they brought home a package and I squealed. It was GREAT. x)

Another gajillion THANK YOUs to Scholastic Canada, J.L. Bryan, Tor Teen, HarperCollins Canada, Macmillan, and Giselle @ Xpresso Reads for knowing how to make a book blogger's day! :)

  21. Ooooh!!! Masque of Red Death and Of Poseidon!!! Lucky!!!

    I've never listened to an audiobook, but I have two on my Kindle. I'm just not sure how much I'd enjoy listening to a book rather than reading it at my own pace.

  39. Mimi! This is suuuuch a great Mailbox!! :D Ok, so first of all, I've been reading about the Articles of the Constitution in American History, so I'm DYING to read "Article 5"... And thennnn.... "Take a Bow" and "Masque of the Red Death" look great! Masque has got me totally stumped as to if I want to read it or not but I'm so intrigued I can't passed it up. It actually made me add a "intriguing idea" shelf to Goodreads...haha!

    Ok, so anyways...no more rambling. I'm also very interested in the "Tempest" audiobook. I can't wait to hear all your thoughts on these awesome books! :)

    ReplyDelete
