In My Mailbox (38)

In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by The Story Siren.

I'm Alison. I've been blogging for 11 months. I review mainly YA with a few MG books and a weekly manga feature.

After my light book acquisition week, I followed it up with an over-enthusiastic one:

Library Stash


Please Ignore Vera Dietz - A.S. King


Demonglass - Rachel Hawkins


Bloodfever - Karen Moning


A Touch Mortal - Leah Clifford


Chibi Vampire vol. 1 - Yuna Kagesaki

    A Touch Mortal has a really cool cover and so does Bloodfever. I love all the read! I haven't read anything by Rachel Hawkins but she's gotten heaps of good reviews so maybe I should rethink that, lol. Looking forward to seeing what you think of all these books!

    Happy Reading!

    Great books!
    Looking forward to reading your reviews, especially on Demon Glass. I am still indecisive about reading this series.
    Happy reading,

    You got really awesome books! I was supposed to go to the library a week ago to borrow Please Ignore Vera Dietz but someone got there before me. Anyway, Demonglass is really awesome. I have Touch of Mortal in my TBR. Great books. Happy reading!

    I haven't read Hex Hall but I love the cover to Demonglass and how they match unlike the UK ones. I've seen Please Ignore Vera Dietz around a bit but don't really know much about it so I can't wait to see what you think of it! I hope you enjoy them all :)

    I'm curious to see what you think of Please Ignore Vera Dietz. I read another book by that author and I hated it, so it's kind of turned me off to anything else she's written. I've heard such good things about PIVD though, so I'm not sure.

    Ooooo so many good books this week Alison! I adored Demonglass and of course the Fever series rocks. I have A Touch Mortal on my shelf and am looking forward to starting that one!

    I've heard so many good things about the Fever series. Unfortunately, it is written in the first person and that is one of my pet book peeves.

    I can definitely tell you that "Karen" (renamed to "Chibi Vampire" for US distro by Tokyopop for no reason whatsoever, is really pretty great. "A Touch Mortal" is in my tbr hold pile (which will drown me soon), and "Demonglass" was awesome. I love my library, too. *__*

    Some fantastic books there! I still have to read Hex Hall- which I've been meaning to get for AGES. Plus, I absolutely loved KMM's 'fever' series, I seriously couldn't focus on anything else until I'd read these books! Happy reading!

    OMG! Please Ignore Vera Dietz! I so want to read that but unfortunately, I haven't been able to find a copy.

    And it is weird that you have more trouble looking up than looking down at great heights. But in a way, it's awesome :D

    Thanks for dropping by my blog. Have a great weekend!
