In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by The Story Siren, where we all share what we got during the week!Ok, here's what I got this week. Everything here is from the library EXCEPT for the bit of awesomeness is the middle...which was gifted to me from sweet Rachael of Book Love: Teen !! Thank you so much, hon! Everyone remember she is having a fabulous 50 follower giveaway at her blog with some great prize books, so go enter!!
When You Reach Me by Rebecca Stead
Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver
The Dark Days of Hamburger Halpin by Josh Berk
The Fetch by Laura Whitcomb
The Morganville Vampires: Glass Houses by Rachel Vincent
I have to admit now...the book at the bottom, Glass Houses...I only brought this home so I could test run a few chapter to see if I want to read more. I have to fess up to being a huge "Cover" girl and the US covers of these books compared to the UK covers, well, its just no contest, the UK covers win. So, if I like the first couple of chapters, I am going to order the UK editions of the first few books from Book Depository. Am I crazy? Hope not :)
The Fetch is from author Laura Whitcomb, whose book "A Certain Slant of Light" I read and loved last year. If you haven't read that one, I highly recommend it!!
Ok, what did you get??
I've heard great things about before i fall!! enjoy!
ReplyDeleteOh God, I'm so in love with BIF cover... Since I first saw it! Wonderful picks. I hope you love each of them :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat books. I hope you enjoy Before I Fall...I loved it!
ReplyDeleteI've just read When You Reach Me, and I loved it. It's a really unusual book, although I found myself connecting with it in a similar way to Before I Fall in the end. They're both such amazing books.
ReplyDeleteI'll be interested to hear what you think of The Fetch, since I really liked A Certain Slant of Light.
Before I Fall is amazing and I hope you'll like it too! I've also been wanting to read When You Reach Me so I can't wait to hear what you think of it! Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteGreat books you've got there! I've heard positive things about Before I Fall :D
ReplyDeleteAll fantastic books this week! Happy reading :)
ReplyDeleteI loved Before I Fall - amazing! And I also loved When You Reach Me. Very different books, but I loved them both :)
ReplyDeleteHappy reading!

I loved A Certain Slant of Light. I read it for school a couple of years ago. I hope The Fetch is just as good. Before I Fall is on my TBR list. I understand what you mean about book covers. I prefer the UK version of Celia Rees' new book, Fool's Girl, and if I were going to buy it I would definitely get that one. I haven't purchased anything from Book Depository but it sounds like a neat store and the prices are great. Enjoy your books!
ReplyDeleteI really loved A Certain Slant of Light and I can't wait to read The Fetch.
ReplyDeleteGreat books this week - Happy Reading!
Ooh great books! I still haven't gotten my hands on "Before I Fall"!
ReplyDeleteI gave you an award here!
I love the Morganville Vampire books. There are some inconsistencies between books as the series goes on but they're a good, fun read. Can't wait to read before I fall.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love, love, love the Morganville Vampire series :) It's my favorite of all time. The second book is the best in the series, in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteI've heard good things of Before I Fall. I hope you enjoy all your books, happy reading!!
The Dark Days of Hamburger Haplin- I love the title! Great books.
ReplyDeleteHappy reading!
Loved Before I Fall, but haven't read the others. Hope you like it as much as I did! Enjoy!
