In My Mailbox # 19

In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by The Story Siren , find out more about it on her IMM-page.



Yeah, yeah, I know, it's been reaaaallly quiet around here lately. I had some pretty intense personal *days* and at uni too...and when I finally had some time off, blogger was down. And well, you all know I'm not the most organized, I didn't draft any new posts anyway, nope, I enjoyed my blogger-free days instead.
Not that I have much to write about, I've only read two books this month, I'm still in a reading-slump and can't find my way out of it....

Anyway, these are the books I got these past two weeks, got a few surprises also:

Moonglass - Jessi Kirby. This was one of the two books I've read this month. I've actually really really enjoyed it. It felt real and moving.
What Happened to Goodbye - Sarah Dessen. Yep, I'm a real big Dessen-fan. It's so bad that I actually couldn't wait for the book to arrive, so I also bought it on my kindle. I've read it, I love it. It's really my kind of book, slow development, characters you really miss when the book is finished. So happy :)

Divergent - Veronica Roth. Love the cover, love the effect the camera has on the colours :)
Die For Me - Amy Plum. Ok, I confess, I LOVE this cover even more. I'm a big fan of all things Paris. Hopefully I'll get to visit my favourite city again this summer!
Tempest Rising - Tracy Deebs. This book actually went missing at my local Post Office. I had to go there 3 times until they found it in an other PO across my tiny town..(seriously, how hard can it be??)
Bumped - Megan McCafferty. Cool cover, if you have a copy, touch it, you'll know what I mean :)

Are You Going to Kiss Me Now? - Sloane Tanen. Sounds really interesting!
Flawless - Lara Chapman

The C-Word - Lisa Lynch
The Perfect Token - Cathryn Tew. I'm quite curious about this one.
Ellie Andrews Has Second Thoughts - Ruth Saberton. It feels like I've been waiting FOREVER for this one. LOVED Sabertons first book!

RSVP - Helen Warner


So, that's it from me this week. What did you all get?

Happy Reading!

    Nothing! I've decided to be economical and only borrow books from the library for a while, but it does not feel like a fun project at the moment...

    There is a new Sookie Stackhouse-novel out that I might have to buy anyway.

    I got Die For Me as well and I'm still waiting for my copy of Divergent to arrive.
    So many great books for you! I still need/want to read almost all of them. :D

    I've read Die For Me and it's amazing. I wish I had the hardcover version. Moonglass and Tempest Rising sound interesting as well.

    Take a look at what's in my Mailbox this week!
