In My Mailbox #73

2011

In My Mailbox is a meme hosted by Kristi from The Story Siren once a week, feel free to participate by sharing the books you received in your mailbox!

In Order of Excitement:

Jessie ♥ NYC by Keris Stainton | So psyched about this one, I hear it's a rather quick read so my review should be done soon enough :)
A Straight Line To My Heart by Bill Condon | My copy lacks the pretty cover but I still cannot wait to read this one, I'm intrigued by the alternative review style set-up by this pub so I'll be reading this one next.

When We Have Wings by Claire Corbett | In a world dived into those who can fly and those who can't, would you give your own child for wings?

The Somnambulist by Essie Fox | I'm sure this historical debut novel would be great, if only I could pronounce the title.

Pod by Stephen Wallenfels | POD sounds pretty creepy, it's based around a twelve-year old girl whose stuck in her car garage while food and water supplies slowly run out.

The Shattering by Karen Healey | Another chilling novel... a teenage girl traces the serial killer who murdered her brother while trying to avoid being the next one killed.

Flawless by Lara Chapman | Another book focusing on nose jobs, I'm keen to see how this one plays out but it does sound a little like another high school drama.

Private Lives by Tasmina Perry | I haven't really enjoyed a chick-lit novel since Sophie Kinsella so here's hoping this one lives up to the Shopaholic series.

Q: Which duo of books would you rather read?

Great mailbox, jealous of Jessie <3 NYC. I saw it in my local supermarket but had no money, so had to pass it up!

Haven't heard of a lot of them but Flawless is great, I advise you to wait for a sunny day because it's an easy, summer garden or beach read!

Truly fantastic books this week, so many I hadn't heard of and am glad I did. The Shattering looks like it will be amazing. The Somnambulist is a tricky title, but looks really great. Happy Reading!

Some good books I've never heard of before! I love it when smaller titles get featured. Definitely checking some of these out.

Wow, Pod and The Shattering sound pretty exciting. The rest sound pretty awesome too, so I'm going to have to check them out. By the way, I only recently stumbled across your blog and let me tell you, it's amazing :)

Some interesting titles, Holly! I read JESSIE HEARTS NYC in a pretty short time frame.

Is that cover for POD the Aussie one? It looks so different to the other one ... part of the reason I didn't have an interest in reading it. Will wait to see how you thought of A STRAIGHT LINE TO MY HEART. Happy reading!

I hope Jessie turns out to be awesome.
My copy of Pod has a totally different cover.
I'm reading Straight Line next, so you won't have to wait long :)

i am pretty obsessed with the cover for "a straight line to my heart" so much so that i don't even need to read the synopsis, i just know that i have to have it.
