In My Mailbox 8/28

Sunday, August 28, 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:

FOR REVIEW
ARC - Thank you, HarperTeen

Juliette hasn't touched anyone in exactly 264 days. The last time she did, it was an accident, but The Reestablishment locked her up for murder. No one knows why Juliette's touch is fatal. As long as she doesn't hurt anyone else, no one really cares. The world is too busy crumbling to pieces to pay attention to a 17-year-old girl. Now so many people are dead that the survivors are whispering war- and The Reestablishment has changed its mind. Maybe Juliette is more than a tortured soul stuffed into a poisonous body.

FOR REVIEW
ARC - Thank you, Simon Pulse

Now is not the time for Carmen to fall in love. And Jeremy is hands-down the wrong guy for her to fall for. He is infuriating, arrogant, and the only person who can stand in the way of Carmen getting the one thing she wants most: to win the prestigious Guarneri competition. Carmen's whole life is violin, and until she met Jeremy, her whole focus was winning. But what if Jeremy isn't just hot...what if Jeremy is better? Carmen is sick of not feeling anything on stage and even more sick of always doing what she’s told, doing what's expected. Sometimes, being on top just means you have a long way to fall....

FOR REVIEW
ARC - Thank you, Flux

Braden was born with witch eyes: the ability to see the world as it truly is: a blinding explosion of memories, darkness, and magic. The power enables Braden to see through spells and lies, but at the cost of horrible pain. After a terrifying vision reveals imminent danger for the uncle who raised and instructed him, Braden retreats to Belle Dam, an old city divided by two feuding witch dynasties. To stop an insidious dark magic from consuming the town, Braden must master his gift—and risk losing the one he loves.

    Oooh. Shatter Me is definitely one of those books on my 'To Buy' list. I never realised blogging would be so expensive. I expect to be very broke at the end of my third year with all these books I plan to buy :) Hope it's as good as all the hype claims it is :) Happy reading!

    Shatter Me looks amazing, and the premise reminds me of Rogue from X-Men, don't you think? She found out about her ability to harm people with touch when she kissed a boy.

    Witch Eyes - that looks like a great one and I love a male protag - thanks for sharing, Melissa!
