Bought:

My Soul to Take by Rachel Vincent 

Had heard of this before and after reading a few interesting reviews, decided to buy it.

Candor  by Pam Bachorz

Bought off Amazon with Graceling. I'm glad to finally start reading some dystopian again, I've missed the genre. 

Graceling  by Kristin Cashore

I've heard a lot of good things about this book, so thought I'd give it a try. I'm not too keen on the UK cover though....

Received: 

Cloud Atlas  by David Mitchell

My lecturer kindly applied for about 30 of these books to give to my class in honor of World Book Night.

And here we have the gorgeous Ali modeling the new books! :D

In My Mailbox (2) Birthday Edition

In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by The Story Siren that features books bought or borrowed within the week!
Strangely, all the books I've had this week, I got today because it's my 18th birthday! Half of them I received as gifts and the other half I bought with some of my birthday money when I went out this afternoon. I've linked them to their Shelfari pages if you are interested!

Bought:

Magic Study by Maria V. Snyder

Second to the Study Series. I'm reading Poison Study, and got the next two for £1.99!

Fire Study by Maria V. Snyder

Third in the Study Series, also bought for £1.99.

Across the Universe by Beth Revis

I've been looking forward to reading this for a while, and just couldn't resist getting it today.

Received as gift:

The Killing Frost/ The Third Day, The Frost by John Marsden

I talked about the mystery of these books in a previous post here. This is part of the fantastic Tomorrow Series and had to be ordered special online from the US. I'm so excited to read it! 

Darkness be my Friend by John Marsden

The fourth in the Tomorrow Series. Again had to be ordered special as there is nowhere else to get it here. It's a second-hand library book from Australia! 

Specials  by Scott Westerfield 

Third in the Uglies Series. Looking forward to reading this too!

In My Mailbox (1)

So I thought I'd jump on the bandwagon and do my first In My Mailbox, this week hosted by The Story Siren. Especially considering I got loads of books this week (from shops and the library).

I'd previously bought two books off Amazon weeks ago, and they had only just come. But by then, I hadn't got any other books, and was itching for some more. So when I went on my trip to the beach, I specially saved up my money to do a big book shop. Though in the end I had to take one book back (The Body Finder), because I didn't have enough money for lunch or the bus back, haha!

For me, this is quite a big haul, and I probably won't be getting anymore for a while, as I need to read through these!  

Bought in the shops: 

City of Ashes by Cassandra Clare

I enjoyed the first book a lot so I'm looking forward to reading this.

The Replacement by Brenna Yovanoff

I'd heard of this book coming out, so I was pretty excited when I saw it in the shop. Though I really don't like the UK cover. I think when covers have models like that, it really commercializes a book. I like the US one with the pram and the knifes hanging over it.

Lament by Maggie Stiefvater

I hadn't heard anything about this book before, even though I'd heard a lot about the author (I know she's written Shiver and Linger which have no appeal to me because of how much it gets compared to Twilight). But Replacements was in a Buy one, get one for a pound offer, so I got this seeing as it was a pound and looked quite interesting. 

Poison Study by Maria V. Snyder 

I was interested in reading this after I read Snyder's newest novel, Inside Out. Even though I was a bit meh on the book, I liked her writing style and was interested in reading this book. I was lucked out when I walked into a cheap bibs and bobs shop and saw this selling brand new for £1.99! So of course, I had to get it.

Bought off Amazon:

Feed by Mira Grant

Incarceron by Catherine Fisher

From the Library

Numbers 2: The Chaos by Rachel Ward

Revolver by Marcus Sedgwick
