Edit Post

In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by Kristi at The Story Siren. It is a feature where we share which books we've received over the week.

Jennie's IMM

Ack! The thumbnail is horrible, but believe me, I'm super excited to read Masque of the Red Death. I don't know where that face came from (and the other 2 thumbnails are just as bad). Anyway, here are the books that I received in the past 3 weeks. Actually, there were a ton of surprises and I'm super excited to read each one of them!

E-books Bought:

Special thanks to Kensington Books, HarperTeen, Bloomsbury, Simon & Schuster, Harlequin, and Taryn Browning!

Rayne's IMM

Bought:

Incarnate by Jodie Meadows

Incarnate sounds very original, and though I am approaching it with some wariness, I'm really excited to read it.

Harbinger by Sara Wilson Etheine

Look at that cover! Isn't it awesome that it looks like a tarot card? Harbinger sounds ridiculously creepy and awesome, so I'll be taking on this one next.

The Way We Fall by Megan Crewe

This one sounds like the movie Contagion that I saw some weeks ago, and though the movie disappointed me a little, I hope this one delivers exactly what I want of a story about a plague that sinks a town into desperation.

Article 5 by Kristen Simmons

And now to the obligatory dystopian part of this IMM, I present you with Article 5. I wasn't that excited for this one (what I mean is: I might be a little fed up with post-apocalyptic dystopians) but I've read really cool things about it, so I got it. Hope it doesn't disappoint!

Sweetly by Jackson Pearce

I loved the first installment in the Faery Tale Retelling series, Sisters Red. Sure, most of that had to do with the fact that I couldn't stop thinking of me as Scarlett and my sister as Rosie, because really, they were exactly like us, but I loved it nonetheless and I am really excited for Sweetly. I had to wait some time to get it, but I'm really happy I finally have it.

Finnikin of the Rock by Melina Marchetta

I'm finally back on my element with this one. High-fantasy is my thing and I've heard amazing things about this one, so I really can't wait to get started on it.

E-book:

Free on nook!

Hearts at Stake by Alexandra Harvey

I still have to read the other book by Harvey that I got a while ago, but hey, free! Hope its good!

Won:

Ordinary Beauty by Laura Wiess

Yay! I won something! This one sounds like an emotional roller coaster, so I'm in. I don't remember where I won it (sorry :( ) but, whoever it was, thank you!

So much goodness here! I loved Social Suicide. Not as much as Deadly Cool, but definitely enjoyable! I also liked Article 5--just finished it this morning. I'd like to see more post-apocalyptic teen fiction.

I know this is a IMM for 3 weeks but you got a crap load of books! I can't wait to get my hands on Masque of the Red Death.

So healous that you got Hemlock, Thumped, and Masque of the Red Death. All three have been on my to-read-when-published list for a while and I'm jealous of everyone getting ARCs already! I don't know much about the other books you got for review, but I'll be on the lookout for when reviews finally come around for them.

I've been meaning to buy Article 5 for a while too! I've heard fantastic things about it. And everything by Susan Elizabeth Phillips is a must read for me.

Great selection of ebooks as well! I love the cover for Shooting Stars. Ordinary Beauty has a fantastic cover as well, and if it is as emotional as you think it is, I love how it's all expressed in that single image!

Happy reading!
