Hi everyone and welcome to my 23rd In My Mailbox! In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by The Story Siren. It’s our opportunity to get a sneak peek into what books everyone  received for review, borrowed from libraries, bought in bookshops and downloaded onto eReaders.

I didn’t do an IMM post last week because I didn’t have anything to show you but this week was amazing book-wise and I got lots of amazing books. Shall we check them out?

A Kestrel For a Knave by Barry Hines (paperback)
Love on the Dole by Walter Greenwood (paperback)
Billy Elliot by Melvin Burgess (paperback)
Union Street by Pat Barker (paperback)

I’m writing my dissertation on the British working class so these four are basically research material. I’ve actually read Union Street before but I didn’t have my own copy, that’s why I ordered it a few weeks ago. It’s fantastic, by the way! I loved it.

For review:

Someone Else’s Life by Katie Dale (hardback)
The Watcher by Charles Maclean (paperback)
Breathless by Anne Swärd (paperback)
The Life of Rebecca Jones by Anghard Price (hardback)
Agatha Raisin: As The Pig Turns by M.C. Beaton (paperback)
Run Rabbit Run by Kate Johnson (ebook) 
All These Things I’ve Done by Gabriel Zevin (paperback)

* A massive thank you to Book Divas, Penguin, Maclehose Press, Constable & Robinson, Pan Macmillan and Choc Lit *

This week was even more surprising in the way that I got my first unsolicited (i.e. not asked for) books from a publisher! How exciting is that?! Plus, I got another copy of All These Things I’ve Done – I received a copy a few weeks ago with a different cover so I’m not sure what happened, but I adore both versions Also, I’m reading the Agatha Raisin one right now so keep an eye on my blog for the review!

Hi everyone! Let’s kick this month off with a brand new In My Mailbox post ) I’m still trying to get through my HUGE review copy pile – which includes 38 titles at the moment – so I’m not taking any review requests and I try not to request Netgalley titles either, BUT I still managed to get two books this week. No photos this time since one of them is an ebook (and I’m super lazy ):

Masquerade by Cambria Hebert (for review)
Life As We Knew It by Susan Beth Pfeffer (puchased)

I won’t be able to start reading them for a while but I’m really excited about both. I read the first few pages of Life As We Knew It and it sounds fantastic! Have you read any of these two? What did you get in your mailbox this time? Make sure to leave a link to your own post below so that I can check out your books too!

Hi guys! I know I keep saying this but I can’t believe another week has just passed. Oh my. Anyway, it’s going to be a super short IMM this week since I’m still trying to catch up with my review copies (which is going to take a pretty long time) so I haven’t requested any more books for a while. I’m not on a book buying ban because … well, I just can’t resist the temptation. Plus, my own copies can wait and I don’t feel guilty if I don’t have time to read them for another 3 months. Anyway, here’s what came in the mail today:

Room by Emma Donoghue (purchased)
All These Things I’ve Done by Gabrielle Zevin (for review)

That’s it! I’m super excited about these two! I’ve heard great things about both of them so I’m really looking forward to picking them up. And can I just say how gorgeous the cover of ATTID is?! I can’t take my eyes off her eyes. *____*

So that’s it for this week, folks – what did you get in your mailbox? Have you read these two books? Make sure to leave a link to your own post below so that I can check out your books too and visit you back!

Hi guys! Can you believe it’s Sunday already?! Time is going by so flippin fast! Anyway, I didn’t get a lot of books this week since I’m still trying to catch up with my review copies. Although I did request two Netgalley titles – I just couldn’t resist the temptation! 

The Look by Sophia Bennett (paperback)
The Raft by S.A.Bodeen (e-ARC)
Monument 14 by Emmy Laybourne (e-ARC)

That’s it for now I’m still waiting for a book I ordered from the Book Depository so that’s probably what I’m going to show you next week.

Hello everyone! I hope everyone had a nice week! I had quite a hectic week – I’m back at uni, I’m trying to read all the remaining review books I have, I’m working as a blog tour assistant (which I really enjoy!), and if it wasn’t enough, I’m working on two blog templates at the moment. So I’m very glad I actually managed to find the time to put this post together, wahoo! So, let’s see what came in the mail this week.

Gifted:

• The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins – A massive thank you to Dani @ Pen to Paper for sending me this. I might be the only one who actually hasn’t read this book yet so now’s the time to pick it up!

For review:

• The Long Weekend by Savita Kalhan
• On the Fringe by Courtney King Walker
• Mice by Gordon Reece
• Mockingbird by Kathryn Erskine

I had a great week book-wise – I got some great books for my Kindle and I only have two exams left! Which means that by the end of next week, I’ll be able to go back to normal: reading, blogging and designing blogger templates for my gawjusss bookish friends. Wahoo!
