In My Mailbox # 32

In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by The Story Siren , find out more about it on her IMM-page.
First of all I'm sorry for my long hiatus. After my first week being sick I got even MORE sick! And yeah, I still don't feel 100% back to normal. And, I somehow (lol)  got all the people around me sick too (imagine that. Hihi). So I've been kind of taking care of them too. Anyway, I have two weeks of awesome books to show. And, I got an iPad. How awesome is that??? I'm sorry for the weird pictures and the bad quality, I had just too much fun playing with different apps.


 Crossed - Ally Condie. (Matched # 2). I just had to get this one, to continue the series, even though I didn't like Matched at all.
Wherever You Go - Heather Davis. I really liked this book, it's a very interesting premise and there are three different POV's that really worked for me!
Little Women and Me - Lauren Baratz-Logsted . I really like Little Women, one of my favourite classics.
Never Cry Werewolf - Heather Davis
Don't Expect Magic - Kathy McCullough. Sounds very interesting and zany.
Amplified - Tara Kelly. This book BLEW me away. I simply loved it!

The Prophecy of the Sisters - Michelle Zink. This was really cheap on bookdepo, so I thought I'd check it out.
Amy and Roger's Epic Detour - Morgan Matson. I already own the Hardback version of this book. But the paperback is soo pretty, I just had to have a second copy :)
The Iron Knight - Julie Kagawa. I already had an e-version of this awesome book, but of course I had to have a finished copy too.
Book Journal - It has pretty stickers :) an awesome way to keep track of what I read, love it!
A Book Lover's Diary - So pretty and it has awesome quotes!

Australian Made:
Days Like This - Alison Stewart
On the Jellicoe Road - Melina Marchetta. I love Marchettas books, but somehow I just couldn't get into into Jellicoe Road when I tried to read on kindle, so now I'll try again :). ( I don't like this cover :/)
Looking for Alibrandi - Melina Marchetta. To complete my Marchetta-collection :)
Saving Francesca - Melina Marchetta. One of my fave books I've read this year, already have the kindle-version.

Chick-Lit Corner:

The Secret of Happy Ever After - Lucy Dillon. Dillon writes the perfect cozy-wintry-warm-charming books.
It Started With a Kiss - Miranda Dickinson
The Summer of Living Dangerously - Julie Cohen. Julie Cohen is one of my all-time favourite chick-lit authors!
Any Dream Will Do - Maria Duffy

Kindle Books:
The Predicteds - Christine Seifert. (NetGalley)
Obsidian - Jennifer L. Armentrout (NetGalley)
Pure - Julianna Baggott (NetGalley)
Harmonic Feedback - Tara Kelly. I was a mess whilst reading this book. It's so real and raw. And I want a poster of that cover, it's so beautiful and there's so much meaning in it!
Zero - Tom Leveen (NetGalley)
Only Us - Susan Mallery
Alias Dragonfly - Jane Singer (NetGalley)



So, that's it from me this week. What did you all get?
Have a nice Weekend and Happy Reading!

In My Mailbox # 3 (New Books # 28)

In My Mailbox

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

As usual I'm doing things in the wrong order: I always read the last page first ( interested in the how instead of the where), this is only my third IMM even though I've been blogging now for over two years, I read my first book for adults when I was 11 ( Outlander - Diana Gabaldon) my first historical romance when I was 13 (The Duchess - Jude Deveraux) lots of Crime, Drama and the Classics after that. I started reading chick-lit a few years back and now I've recently discovered YA..this time next year I'll probably be reading children's books with lots of pictures in them. Anyway, these are the books I've bought this week, there should've been a few more, I guess my Postie got lost in the snow :P
