In My Mailbox # 20

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

Hi again, it's a few weeks since I've done an IMM, so these are the books I got these past weeks.

Attachments - Rainbow Rowell. Quite an interesting cover, even though it reminds a little of Accross The Universe
Summer Loving - Allie Spencer. Perfect Beach-read?
The Beach Café - Lucy Diamond
Something From Tiffany's - Melissa Hill
It Happened in Paris - Molly Hopkins
There Goes The Bride - Holly McQueen


The Little Women Letters - Gabrielle Donnelly. I love Little Women, so I just had to have this one :)
An Echo In The Bone - Diana Gabaldon. I only have the hardback of this one, so naturally I had to have the paperback too.

Mercy - Rebecca Lim. I already wanted to buy this one back in March when I held it in my hands in THE Bookshop in Zurich. But it was a big heavy hardback and wouldn't have fit in my suitcase.
Forgotten - Cat Patrick
A & L Do Summer - Jan Blazanin


Kindle Books

Cross My Heart - Katie Klein (LOVED this one, my short review here!)
Roadside Assistance - Amy Clipston ( Had my problems with this one :( )
So Over You - Gwen Hayes
---------------
Just Like Heaven - Julia Quinn









Gift
This one was kindly gifted to me by Bookalicious Ramblings
as even though it was supposed to be *free* I had no way to get it for free. Thank you!














So, that's it from me this week.
 Happy Reading!

In My Mailbox # 16

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

IMM #16 aka Chick-lit week at its finest :)

Hello everybody and thanks for stopping by my blog.

This week was a busy week, with uni starting again (not that I was on vacation before, I could work from home for the last three months, writing my masters-thesis). I live a bit away from my uni (it's cheaper where I live and I'm doing my masters which means I can do a lot from home, no lectures or seminars).

Anyway, this week has been more chick-lit-y than my past IMM's which seems kind of weird. Also, my missing books arrived (well, not the ones that were missing, but the ones that were re-sent to me) but an other book-related parcel is way overdue ( I've ordered a bag and a sweater that are book-related and they haven't turned up, hope it was a legitimate company :S :S). So, this is what I've got this week:
Playing Hurt - Holly Schindler. This is one of my 'missing books' that finally turned up. I was waiting for ever end ever for this one. Ordered it a long time ago, it was shipped...and...nothing happened. It just didn't arrive. Anyway, I was very happy when it finally arrived on my doorstep, after lots of emails to customer-service. Anyway. I've started it, but couldn't really get into it. The story in the book is not the one described on the jacket (or at least what I'd expected from the blurb). And I have a feeling there's some cheating going on there. :/ But everyone else loves it, so give it a try :)
City of Fallen Angels by Cassandra Clare. Yay, it arrived, beautiful hardback.

Looking for Leon  by Shirley Bentely. I just love these *big*-paperbacks :)
Girl on the Run by Jane Costello. I did my own little happy-dance when this arrived. Didn't think it was out yet. So it was a complete surprise. I LURVE Jane Costello's books. I LURVE THEM!
The Truth About You - Melissa Hill. I'm quite new to Melissa's books, I've only read two of them. But I've enjoyed both of them. She has a way of writing that's just like chocolate mousse or something. And all the twists and turns...oh my...I hope I like this one as much. Love the cover, (it reminds me of Lucy Dillon's books)
The Finishing Touches - Hester Browne. A few weeks back  I was raving about Hester Browne's new book: Swept off her Feet, (here), and a few of you mentioned this book of hers, that I should read it, so I've bought it :)
The Provence Cure for Brokenhearted by Bridget Asher. I love the Provence, hope I'll love the books as well :)

So, this is it for me this week. What did you all get?
Happy Reading!

New Books # 16

Hello again, I've been very busy lately and I haven't read a single book this past week. I'll be busy with uni, kitchen and my upcoming internship in the next few weeks as well, but hopefully I'll manage to find more time to read!
Anyway, during the past week I got some really interesting and beautiful books.

 These four books were kindly sent to me by Bookalicious Ramblings , THANK YOU!

The WAGS- series by Anonymous
A Reluctant Cinderella - Alison Bond
The following books I've bought myself. 
The (Im)perfect Girlfriend - Lucy-Anne Holmes
I know I'm a bit late with this one, but I only read the prequel 50 Ways to Find a Lover last week, is has been collecting dust on my shelf since like forever..tsts. It's hilarious, funny and I stayed up late to finish it, so of course I had to order the sequel immediately!

The DUFF (designated ugly fat friend) - Kody Keplinger; The Atlas of Love - Laurie Frankel
Before I Forget - Melissa Hill
This is the start of my catching-up on Melissa Hills books. I read Please Forgive Me recently, (I actually bought it on my desperate book-shopping-day in Switzerland) and was completely blown away...Now I only need to have some free-time to read!!

Desperate Book-Shopping

Hello everybody!
I'm back from Spain again. I had a wonderful time, lot of time to read. The 9 books I brought with me weren't enough and the last few days were quite boring, suffering from withdrawal anxiety from having nothing to read.
Anyway, now I'm back in a place where I at least have an internet-connection and this morning I hurried to town. Of course, there were no english books, or at least, the ones they had I also have. But I managed to find one:

Melissa Hill - Please forgive me
I normally don't like to read books that are translated, thereof the problem with finding books this morning. I like to read books in their language of origin. In the end I bought these three books, with a little compromise:
Jessica Bird - Wenn es plötzlich Liebe ist; CécileKrug - Die Sache mit Edgar; Silke Neumayer - Die Männerversteherin


Anyway, it's only the first one that is originally in english, the second one is translated from french and the third actually is written by a german author. They looked lovely so I bought them :)
