In My Mailbox was created by Kristi at The Story Siren. It's a perfect way to see who's reading and review what. Awesome!
I'm really sorry this is late! I would have finished it yesterday, but I went to see the last Harry Potter: I cried bucketloads! And then we all played "Cheat", a card game that's all about bluffing. I was worryingly good...
On to more important subjects than my poker face, I got my first For-Review book from Penguin! *dances around like a mad-person* It's brilliant: Morris Gleitzman is a genius. Aand, I got two books from authors, both of which look great! Aaand, late birthday presents! Don't you just love late presents? Makes the birthday cheer go on even longer. :)
For Review:
1 boy. 1 girl. 1 camel. Squillions of dollars. A plan that can't fail. Or can it?
I've started this, and it's brilliant so far! Funny, sweet, and I can feel the naivety of the main character - he's ten. Thank you Penguin!
In the 3rd century BC, frankincense was worth its weight in gold, making Arabia the envy of the world. But wealth comes at a cost...
This looks amazing! When Jody emailed me, and I saw this book I knew I had to read it! It's going to transport me back to Arabian Nights tales! :D Thanks Jody!
Golden Healer, Dark Enchantress (The Amielian Legacy, Book One) by Christine E. Schulze (Goodreads | Amazon)
Find out as you read for yourself the story of the first vampire.
I entered a competition to win this. And failed: I never win anything, I'm very unlucky. ;) But Christine offered me the chance to review her book on my kindle, so I said, yes! It looks really good, a nice, epic fantasy with elves and vampires. Thanks Christine! :D
Bought/Late B-Day Presents:
The Prophecy of the Sisters (The Prophecy of the Sisters, Book One) by Michelle Zink (Goodreads | Amazon)
I've seen so many great things about this one, so when I saw it in The Works on 3-for-£5 I had to get it, didn't it? It was a late-birthday-money present. :D
Looking for Alaska by John Green (Goodreads | Amazon)
First Friend,
