Book Chick City: In My Mailbox (#9)

In My Mailbox (#9)

Sunday, September 20, 2009 | Posted by Book Chick City |

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

What books did you get?

Lauren said...: 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!; 20 September 2009 11:19

Falling Off The Shelf said...: 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!; 21 September 2009 00:42
