In My Mailbox 1/9

Sunday, January 9, 2011

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:

    Ooh, congrats on winning The Last Sacrifice! Ahh, I've yet to read Blood Promise! I seriously adore that series. And The Water Wars, I heard, was real good. Happy reading, Melissa! :)

    Oh you won Last Sacrifice, lucky you! Now you need to get moving on the other books in the series so you can get to it;) Glad you enjoyed the first one though, I thought you might hate it and then I would have felt like an a-hole for recommending it to you. Can't wait for your review of Water Wars too, I'm waiting to buy it until I've read what you think!

    I love dystopians so I can't wait to read Water Wars. Hope you like it.
    You got some great books. The Fate of Nature sounds really interesting. I might have to check it out.

    I've heard thst Last Sacrifice is a great end to a brilliant series! I've just taken Frotbite out from the library. Also, congratulations on getting 7th in the Best Blog Awards- you truly deserve it.

    Yes, I saw some other bloggers creating a seperate page for 2011 reads too and thought it would be a really good way of keeping my reads organised on top of my review archive.

    Congrats on winning a readers choice awards! That's so great.

    I'm glad you gave the Vampire Academy series a shot. I feel like a lot of vampire books are just the same old plot over and over again, but Richelle Mead managed to do something creative and different. Out of the first five books, the third is definitely my favorite. I haven't read Last Sacrifice yet, but I can't wait!

    Hope you have a good week! :)

    Nice books you got this week! I've heard good things about Priscilla the Great, so I'll be looking forward to reading your thoughts on that one.

    I love words too! I'll have to keep an eye out on your Goodreads reviews because that euphemisms book sounds like something I'd like.
