In My Mailbox 10/24

Sunday, October 24, 2010

In My Mailbox is an amazing weekly meme hosted by Kristi from The Story Siren that features the books we have received during the week. It's so much fun because we get to see what our fellow bloggers stumbled upon this week and add even more to our piles of books! Without further ado, this week I received the following books:


The Mockingbirds - (ARC Gift from YA Book Queen) - Themis Academy is a quiet boarding school with an exceptional student body that the administration trusts to always behave the honorable way--the Themis Way. So when Alex is date raped during her junior year, she has two options: stay silent and hope someone helps her, or enlist the Mockingbirds--a secret society of students dedicated to righting the wrongs of their fellow peers.

The Golden Spiral - (ARC Gift from YA Book Queen) - The hourglass door has closed behind Dante, sending him back in time to hunt down Zo, Tony, and V. Abby knows that Dante, as a Master of Time, is the only one who can stop them from destroying time itself. She also knows that he will need her help. But almost immediately, things start to change and Abby’s worst fears are realized when Zo begins targeting her past specifically.

Crescendo - (Bought) - Nora should have known her life was far from perfect. Despite starting a relationship with her guardian angel, Patch (who, title aside, can be described as anything but angelic), and surviving an attempt on her life, things are not looking up. Patch is starting to pull away, and Nora can't figure out if it's for her best interest or if his interest has shifted to her arch-enemy Marcie Millar. Not to mention that Nora is haunted by images of her father and she becomes obsessed with finding out what really happened to him that night he left for Portland and never came home.

The Lost Hero - (Bought) - Jason has a problem. He doesn’t remember anything before waking up on a school bus holding hands with a girl. Apparently he has a girlfriend named Piper (who is hiding a secret). His best friend is a kid named Leo (who has a way with tools), and they’re all students in the Wilderness School, a boarding school for “bad kids”, as Leo puts it. What he did to end up here, Jason has no idea — except that everything seems very wrong.

  4. Great books this week! I've heard all sorts of good things about The Lost Hero so I'm definitely considering adding that one to the list:) I just finished Crescendo and I'll be very interested to see what you think of it, I think I'm one of the few that wasn't overly impressed with most of it:(

  12. Great vlog! I did my first one a couple weeks ago and my second one today. It was a little intimidating to me at first!

    The Mockingbirds looks really good and I can't wait to read The Lost Hero! I loved the Percy Jackson series too.

  20. I am so glad you are happy with your new books! :) I have been wanting to get into the Hush Hust series, but have not got to it yet. :) I have a Borders Express here. Thats actually the store I go to on lunch hour at the mall. :) I usually do rather well there, but they will order and ship to the store or you if they don't have what you want on the shelves. :) Have a great week and enjoy your new books!

    If you would like to stop by I have Monday's Beginnings up...
