In My Mailbox #15

7:58 PM | Posted by Romy @ Lost.in.Stories | Edit Post

In My Mailbox is a meme hosted by Kristi @ The Story Siren once a week which explores the weekly contents of your mailbox and books bought.

For Review:

Desires of the Dead (The Body Finder #2) by Kimberly Derting (HarperCollins/March 1, 2011) – International Book Tours

Violet can sense the echoes of those who've been murdered—and the matching imprint that clings to their killers. Only those closest to her know what she is capable of, but when she discovers the body of a young boy she also draws the attention of the FBI, threatening her entire way of life.

As Violet works to keep her morbid ability a secret, she unwittingly becomes the object of a dangerous obsession. Normally she'd turn to her best friend, Jay, except now that they are officially a couple, the rules of their relationship seem to have changed. And with Jay spending more and more time with his new friend Mike, Violet is left with too much time on her hands as she wonders where things went wrong. But when she fills the void by digging into Mike's tragic family history, she stumbles upon a dark truth that could put everyone in danger.

Thanks to Kimberly Derting and International Book Tours for providing this!

No photos? Any chance you're going to be giving them away? Maybe we could do a trade...?

Also, hope you enjoy Desires of the Dead. I still haven't read The Body Finder.

Hey Cass,

I didn't put pictures up because I did a vlog which took me ages I don't know if I could be bothered doing it again, anyway I uploaded it wrong somehow so it wasn't working but now I've fixed it so ta da I've added it now. I'm not sure if I'll be giving any away maybe I'd have to read them first.

Romy :)

Ahh, I see. Nice vlog. You have a much stronger Aussie accent than I. :P I tried getting up a vlog for this week, too. But after 5 tries (3 times shooting, 2 times editing and then trying to upload) I gave up. :S It's SO time-consuming. I'll definitely be doing a vlog first week back after my "break". I'll have all the time in the world.

I have 6 out of the 31, thanks to Winter Flings. I'm going to read Ash first, since it has such a pretty cover and I like fairytale retellings. Hahahaha. Of course. Go and read them first. :)

Everyone keeps on saying I have a really strong Aussie accent I hope I don't sound like a bogan.

I wrote the dinkiest answer for the competition too, I thought I wouldn't have a chance then I get this email out of the blue saying I won.

Congrats on winning all those books! Looks like you're going to be busy reading for awhile. I loved Heist Society and just picked up the first Gallagher Girl novel at the library the other day. Here is my In My Mailbox post.

Wow. Wow-wow-wow-wow-wow. 32 books in one week - O_o *stunned expression*.

Of course, I saw it on the Winterflings website... but to see a vlog of all those glorious books is just amazing. Please do more vlogs. I love them!! And no, I don't think you've got a too an strong Aussie accent, definitely not a bogan.

Warrior Princess, Beautiful Dead, Darke Academy, and Stargirl sound great....I'm expecting reviews, coz I can't wait to see what you think about them! XD
I haven't read any of them except the Ally Carter books, but the other ones are definitely going on my TBR.

Thanks for the wonderful wonderful vlog, and I hope to see many more in the future!! Go Romy!
