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:
Delirium - (For Review - Thank you, HarperTeen & NetGalley) - Before scientists found the cure, people thought love was a good thing. They didn’t understand that once love -the deliria- blooms in your blood, there is no escaping its hold. Things are different now. Scientists are able to eradicate love, and the governments demands that all citizens receive the cure upon turning eighteen. Lena Holoway has always looked forward to the day when she’ll be cured. A life without love is a life without pain: safe, measured, predictable, and happy.
Here Lies Bridget - (For Review - Thank you, Harlequin Teen & NetGalley) - Heroine, Bridget Duke, rules her high school, but when she crashes her car and ends up in limbo, she must confront the people she has wronged, all of whom want her to go to hell. The outcome of these meetings will decide her final destination..
Branded - (For Review - Thank you, Keary Taylor) - Night after night, Jessica stands trial before a council of vindictive angels for deeds she didn’t commit. Condemnation brings a branding as they dementedly laugh and point but exaltation starts a war over her soul. These are Jessica’s nightmares. Alex is everything Jessica could ever want and she’ll do anything to be with him. Even tell him the truth about angels, why she never sleeps, and the scar on the back of her neck.
What did you get in your mailbox this week? Leave me a link, and I'll be sure to check it out!
Yay Melissa! You got an e-reader:):) I can't wait to see what you think of Delirium, that's my next request through Net Galley. And I'll be interested to read your thoughts on Branded as well. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteLucky you! I cannot wait to get my hands on "Delirium" and "Branded"!

I asked for a Nook for Christmas :) I have my *fingers crossed* that I will get one! Lucky you!
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard of Here Lies Bridget so I am curious to see what you think about it. The synopsis sounds dark but the cover doesn't really give me that impression.
It was a great IMM! You look so pretty!
Oh my god I love your accent haha :) And awesome vlog! Delirium is sooo good, I can't wait to see what you think. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteYay! You got Delirium I hope you love it. I definitely want a Nook, I'm hoping to get one for Christmas. *fingers crossed* Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteTotally off topic, but you look so pretty in your vlog! :D
Congrats on getting your e-reader!! :D Branded looks so good! (As do the others of course!) I hope you enjoy them all! Happy reading. :D
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the e-reader and on those Netgalley books! Happy reading! :)
ReplyDeleteI have been investigating the e-readers, and even though I haven't decided to do it, I have decided if I do, it will be a Nook. I'll be looking for your comments on its use.
ReplyDeleteJust five minutes ago I read a rave review of Delirium...hope you enjoy it and the others!

Your Nook looks so pretty! I love the orange back. Seeing yours makes me all the more eager to finally get mine.
ReplyDeleteGreat books this week. I've never heard of Branded, but I'll be looking into it now and I'm looking forward to your review of it. Happy reading =)
Some good books! I got Delirium too. Can't wait to hear your thoughts on Branded :)
ReplyDeleteJust finished Delirium and am anxious to see how you like Branded. Definitely a book I have had my eye on.
ReplyDeleteI reallllllly want to read Delirium. I need to be a Lauren Oliver fan! I did not care for Before I Fall, so I am hoping this book will make me one.
ReplyDeleteOhhh Delirium, that one looks so good, happy reading!
ReplyDeleteVery cool that you got an e-reader! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for one this Christmas :)

ReplyDeleteLet me know how you like the nook. I've got a kindle, but now that they came out with that new nook color, I'm all kinds of curious.
I have Branded and am really excited to start it even though I've seen some mixed reviews :/
