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?

This is what I got during these past two weeks. It's been two exciting and awesome weeks :) The bad quality of the pics is due to me being able to find my camera AGAIN! All links go as usual to Goodreads.

Raw Blue - Kirsty Eagar. I jumped up and down when this book finally arrived. Shipped from New Zealand. And let me tell you, this book is THE MOST AWESOME book I've ever read. I'm officially in love with Aussie books!!

I've had some problems with my internet this week, which really annoyed me as I have a ton of reviews to post, in fact it made me so annoyed that I was close to throwing my laptop out of the window several times. Worked all morning today to finally get it fixed and it seems to work a bit better now. *Happy-Dance*. Anyway, without the distraction of my laptop I got quite some reading done :). So, this is what I got this week. Links go as usual to Goodreads. Pictures taken with iPhone.

I'm Not Her - Janet Gurtler. Even though I didn't like the plot/story in If I Tell, I liked the writing a lot, so I decided to check out Gurtlers debut.
Vanish - Sophie Jordan. The sequel to Firelight. 'Squeeeee'. Love the cover, breathtakingly beautiful!
Going Underground - Susan Vaught. Sounds certainly interestingly different.

Twenty Boy Summer - Sarah Ockler. Don't know why I haven't read this before, but, well, I'm still new to YA.

All These Things I've Done - Gabrielle Zevin. Like this cover, I expected the white-one, so it was quite a surprise when I saw this. Sounds like an exciting book :)

Kindle
The Beginning of After - Jennifer Castle. (The cover really reminds me of If I Tell by Janet Gurtler)

Isle of Night - Veronica Wolff. Sounds really interesting!!

Flat-Out Love - Jessica Park





Swag


Signed Bookmark by Victoria Schwab - The Near Witch. Isn't it preeettty and shiny?? And yes, my walls are pink :)


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

Hello and welcome to my IMM. I got a few books this week I'm really excited about and can't wait to read. Please excuse the bad quality of the photos, I only had my phone at hand when it came to taking pictures, that's also why there are so many of them :). All links go as usual to Goodreads.

Shut Out - Kody Keplinger. OMG, I'm Kody's biggest fan! Review coming on Monday.

Pure Red - Danielle Joseph. Cute little book with lots of color in the story.

Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow? - Claudia Carroll. This book was sent to me from Harper Collins. Not really sure why, maybe I won it in a competition somewhere?

Families and Other Nonreturnable Gifts - Claire LaZebnik. I'm currently reading this and l'm loving it so far. I'm a big fan of Claire LaZebnik.

I actually didn't plan on posting an IMM this week as I only got two books...but then I thought, why not :) so that's why I'm a bit late with this one.


Emerald - Karen Wallace. I love this cover, with the green, the hair and the dove :)


Pilgrim's Don't Wear Pink - Stephanie Kate Strohm. (Netgalley). This sounded like a funny Beach Read...

So, this is it from me this week. (Postie was a bit lazy a guess, or tired after last week's abundance of books)
