In My Mailbox #25
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.
Hello my bloggy readers, I hope you are all well. You may or may not have noticed that I’ve been MIA from blogging and *sigh* reading for most of February as uni work and actual work caught up with me. For a while there I was drowning in it but fear not I’ll hopefully be back reading and blogging this month, here’s hoping. Now with that said I’ll get to the good stuff ... all the books I received!
For Review:
7 Souls by Barnabas Miller & Jordan Orlando (Penguin Australia/March 28, 2011)
Mary expected her seventeenth birthday to be a blow-out to remember. Instead, she wakes up naked and scratched, in a mortifyingly public place, with no memory of how she got there. As her life spins out of control, Mary begins to think that someone is out to get her. But isn't she the popular girl everyone loves?
Thanks to Penguin Australia
Imagine, if you will, New York City
Society's elite: the glamour, the grandeur, the glittering parties, the most handsome beaus, the most beautiful debutantes, the sounds of decadence, the rich girl, the humble boy, the forbidden love, the hushed whispers, the stolen glances, the secret rendezvous, the sin, the scandal, the mystery, the revenge.
You are cordially invited to step into The Luxe, where the secrets are dark and the sins are delicious.
I wonder if this is as good as Anna’s other book series Bright Young Things, if so I’ll definitely love it! Bring of the historic melodrama I say.
Bought:
The Sky is Everywhere by Jandy Nelson (Walker Books/June 7, 2010)
I can’t believe I finally bought this! I’ve been wanting to read it for ages with so many glowing reviews. The book is also very purdy with it’s fabric cover, that’s right you read correctly, a fabric cover, ha!
Darkest Mercy (Wicked Lovely #5) by Melissa Marr (HarperCollins Children’s Books/March 3, 2011)
Final in the amazingly detailed and engrossing series, need I say more?
The Iron Queen (Iron Fey #3) by Julie Kagawa (Harlequin Teen/January 25, 2011)
Must find out what is going to happen to Ash ….
Hexbound (Dark Elite #2) by Chloe Neill (Signet Books/January 4, 2011)
As the author of one of my all time favourite series, the Chicagoland Vampire series, I’ll read anything Chloe writes. I’ve also read the first book in the Dark Elite series, Firespell, and am interested to find out what mischief Lily, Scout and co. will find themselves in this time.
Darkfever (Fever #1) by Karen Marie Moning (Dell/August 28, 2007) [ADULT]
With all the love it receives on goodreads I finally caved in and bought this, I hope it’s as good as everyone says.
Won:
Unearthly by Cynthia Hand (HarperCollins Australia/January 1, 2011)
Thanks to Danielle over at Alpha Reader for holding the giveaway!
Books from the wonderful, splendiferous Nicole @ The Uncommon Nonsense:
Anna & the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins (Penguin Australia/January 4, 2011)
Starcrossed by Josephine Angelini (Macmillan Children’s Books/June 3, 2011)
Destiny brought them together. The Gods will keep them apart.
When shy, awkward Helen Hamilton sees Lucas Delos for the first time she thinks two things: the first, that he is the most ridiculously beautiful boy she has seen in her life; the second, that she wants to kill him with her bare hands.
With an ancient curse making them loathe one another, Lucas and Helen have to keep their distance. But sometimes love is stronger than hate, and not even the gods themselves can prevent what will happen . . .
The above cover is the UK one which is okay, I personally prefer the US
Which do you prefer?
Nicole if you’re reading this I have something for you *kisses*
Thanks so much to Nicole for sending these books over to me. I love the look of Starcrossed, and by ‘look of’ I mean the cover as it has metallic gold on the inside, how cool is that, it’s a very fancy ARC. Whilst I like the look of the book and the blurb sounds like the book will be pretty amazing (enter the words destiny and love and I’m a goner) apparently the content of it is not so good (I got the info from a very trustworthy and well read source), but we’ll see.
Also here is a shameless plug for Nicole’s blog The Uncommon Nonsense, so please click HERE or HERE or HERE, you won’t be disappointed, the book reviews are both informative and very witty, sometimes I even laugh out loud when reading the reviews, so what are you waiting for go, vamoose!

I'm going on to read 7 Souls next. I'm not sure what to expect of it. I really want to love it, but only time will tell. Happy reading!

I prefer the US cover of Starcrossed, more dramatic with beautiful colors:)
