In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by The Story Siren
This week I got:
Borrowed:
The Sky Is Everywhere by Jandy Nelson
The copy I have of this book is absolutely gorgeous- it's bound kind of like a moleskin journal (with the elastic string around the front to keep it together), the text is all in blue ink and there are fully coloured pages scattered throughout which I think, after a quick skim through, are scraps/notes etc that are relevant to the story. Not sure what the book is about, but being the cover whore that I am, I had to pick it up!

Hex Hall by Rachel Hawkins
Now the cover for this one is the complete opposite of the last- it's just awful! It just looks cheap and teeny-boppery- the US version is definitely much nicer. It's a shame too because I've heard really good things about this book and I hope it doesn't put people off (it would have if I had just seen it on a whim at a bookshop).

The Vampire Diaries: The Struggle (Book 2) by L.J Smith
I read the first one and thought it was pretty good so I picked this one in hopes of filling the void that's been left in my life now that the TV show is on a break! I miss my weekly Damon/Stefan hit dearly!

Hostage by Karen Tayleur
A random browse through the YA section of the library brought this to my attention- its about what happens after a girl is abducted for 24hrs. I don't know much else about it, except my little sister's favourite author Carole Wilkinson recommends it.
Bought:
Fire by Kirsten Cashore
I've had Graceling on my TBR shelf for months now- not because I don't want to read it like crazy (because I so do!), I just haven't had time with uni being as crazy as it's been and with all the library books taking precedence. As soon as holidays hit in 2 weeks, these will be some of the first I read- they both look incredibly awesome!
The Princess Diaries by Meg Cabot
I got this at the Lifeline Bookfest, just because this was probably the first real young adult novel I ever read (I was 12!). Oh, and just because I adored it then and I still do! My cover is the original UK one though, but I couldn't track a good quality picture of it down.
Have a great week everyone!

Hex Hall is an excellent read, and isn't The Sky is Everywhere beautiful to look at? I would have bought it even if I had no intention of reading it, lol.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy!
Fire is a fantastic read! Better than Graceling! i have a few of these on my TBR list.
ReplyDeleteHappy Reading!
You have a great haul this week.
ReplyDeleteI have both Fire and Graceling as well but haven't had the chance to read both books. Hope you enjoy them.
Here's my In My Mailbox post for this week.
I loved Hex Hall, Graceling and Fire! Definitely read those as soon as you can! :)
