My Overcrowded Mailbox

This is a little crazy post, since it’s been a long while since I’ve mentioned what’s in my mailbox. I’m so bad, I’ve even reviewed some of the works already. So, here goes!

Print Books

Now this little number was my daughters’ doing. Or maybe it started with a twitter recommendation. Anyway, someone recommended City of Bones (my oldest daughter or twitter). I do know my oldest daughter said City of Bones was the best book she read in 2009. Either way, I purchased it. My youngest daughter often harasses me for reads. I kept telling her, “your sister said City of Bones was the best read she had in 2009.” Finally my young one gave in and read the darned book. Next thing I know, she’s asking me for all the books in the series. Well, I purchased this one and the next one for her. Still waiting for City of Glass to arrive though. As for me, 🙂 I’ve yet to read City of Bones. Shame on me.

There here’s another twitter recommendation. Well, kind of. Someone recommended I read the next book in the series. But being me, I like to start at the beginning. So that’s how this came to be. Honestly, I have no idea what this ones about. All I know is it’s a YA novel. I’m really getting into to the YA genre.

Now this one, I wasn’t expecting in the mail. I even checked my book depository order to make sure I actually ordered it. And yep… I did. The only thing I could think of is that I must have wanted closer while I was selecting books. Not that I have anything against the Tarien Soul series. Just that I thought the last book was unnecessary. Well, I have it now. Here’s hoping for the best.

Anyway… I think I might start doing a next up kind of thing on the side bar. We’ll see.

eBooks

Why am I grouping these three together you might ask? These three I’ve actually already read and reviewed. I picked up The Goblin Brothers Adventures strictly out of courtesy. Not a bad read, I might say (my review here). L.K. Rigel offered me Space Junque around the time she volunteered to do her Authors Helping Authors post last week. Another fun read (Space Junque review here). And Guilty Pleasures… what can I say? I wanted more after reading Comfort Foods. I’ll post the review for Guilty Pleasures this coming Monday.

So shortly after I read Goblin Brothers Adventure, Lindsay Buroker went all crazy and sh*t releasing all these works. One of them, which also happened to be a free read, was Ice Cracker II. Like the smarty I am, I rushed to pick it up. If I’m not mistaken, it’s a bit of a teaser leading into Emperor’s Edge.

So Amanda Hocking books are so popular, I’ve been debating buying them for awhile. After unsuccessfully trying to cram Hush Money by Susan Bischoff down my daughters’ throats, I finally suggested My Blood Approves to my oldest daughter. She read the sample chapter and hopped all over it. One by one, I purchased the novels for her. If she ever gets off restriction, she might get more Amanda Hocking novels.

Forsaken by Shadow was another book I’d been wanting to read. I kept putting it off. Last month (December 17 to be exact), I won a copy of it from Stacey Wallace Benefiel. Yes, I know… that’s how long it’s been since I’ve done my mailbox post. An entire month. For some reason, things just kept popping up. Well, I’m reading it now… so definitely expect a review in the next few weeks. Then Kait Nolan did this awesome thing. Sign up for her newsletter, and she’ll send a copy of Devil’s Eye. I already follow her blog, what’s one more email. haha So voila! I’m the proud owner of Devil’s Eye also.

So, that wraps up this crazy long post. Hopefully the next one won’t be so long. I’m still expecting a batch of books from the book depository. I just need to keep up. 🙂 Man, I need to update my Reading List and Review Page big time. Until next time. Happy readings!
