In My Mailbox (9)

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??

  4. I'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.

    I'll be interested to hear what you think of The Fetch, since I really liked A Certain Slant of Light.

  12. 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!
