In My Mailbox (#9)


In My Mailbox is hosted by Kristi at The Story Siren.

I’ve had a pretty amazing week for books. Most of them have been sent by publishers for review during my All Hallows Eve event. However, I have decided not to share these with you yet and leave them for the event itself *grins*

So, these are the books that are not part of October’s ‘festivities’:


For Review:

• Legend by David Gemmell (Orbit)
• Red Claw by Philip Palmer (Orbit)
• The Wyrmling Horde by David Farland (Orbit)
• The Popularity Rules by Abby McDonald (Arrow Books)
• Luxury by Jessica Ruston (Headline Review)
• The Runaway Wife by Susy McPhee (Ebury Press)

Bought:

• The Graceling by Kristen Cashore

Great books, I'm particularly jealous of the last three!!! :)
ps: The book you sent me still hasn't arrived. :( I was hoping I could start reading it today, but no luck – fingers crossed it shows up tomorrow!!

I'm actually jealous of anyone getting Graceling for the first time, because it's wonderful and I kind of wish I could unread it in my mind and then read it for the first time again. (I'm possibly making no sense there). Have a great week reading those!

I'm envious of The Graceling! What a nice pile of fun you have there!

I've only heard of Graceling out of the books on your stack and I haven't read that! Sounds like a must-read though. I'm interested to here what Legend is about…

Great stack of books you have there!

Can I ask though (not trying to start a big thing, I'm just curious!)..did you request most of these review books, or have you reviewed for them in the past and they offered them to you?

I haven't really emailed a lot of publishers for books, but I have received the 2 that I did request by emailing them directly. You can email me at jennilovevirgo@aol.com with your answer…cause I'm curious, and we both seemed to have started our blogs in June together :)

Great stack of books, I'm looking forward to your reviews!

Cool you got Graceling, I stood and stared at it this weekend, and wanted to buy it, but then looked at the internet and realised it would be cheaper to order it online

Krista September 21, 2009 at 7:37 pm

Wow, congrats on all those books! I have Graceling too, but haven't had a chance to read it yet. I look forward to your review of it! I just got a few this week and just posted them at http://slkcivilrwr.blogspot.co.....box-5.html. Happy Reading! ~Shauna
