I had a wonderful, wonderful week this week. I got an awesome book from Bloomsbury, and another from an author. And I was given a whole load of beautiful old classics by my Granny. They're just so beautiful - I spent forever just sitting and stroking their covers! ;) Plus I had a wild moment on NetGalley... and I requested a lot of books... It was my only weak moment! I didn't buy a single book! :-D
I'm still kinda suprised 'bout that, actually...
Anyhoo, this is what I got:
For Review:
I have very, very high hopes for this one! I've loved every book of Celia's that I've read, so I really, really can't wait to get stuck into This Is Not Forgiveness. Plus, on the cover of the proof, it has an extract from the book, which has made me more-or-less desperate to know EVERYTHING. And why there is no forgiveness. Thank you Bloomsbury! :D
Feyland: The Dark Realm by Anthea Sharp (Goodreads)
The Game Is Just The Beginning...
This sounds ace - it's about a computer game that becomes terribly real... I love the sound of this twist on the fey genre. Thanks Anthea!

From NetGalley:
This sounds amazing - it's about ten-year-old Bones, who is determined to prove her father is innocent of two murders. I really can't wait to read it!
Master of Disguise.
Wanted
Dead or Alive.
This really does sound great, set in the Civil War and written by a historian. And I do love me a good historical novel! :D
A dystopian, about the only two surivors of a flesh-eating bacteria... Eek! It does sound absolutely amazing, 'though it's possibly one for the elder teens or adults...
Discovering The Strength Of Her Power May Cost Llona Her Life
This sounds brilliant - a fantasy with whole new beings, and a bit of romance thrown in too. And I do love fantasy! I just love the sound of this book! :D
Death Never Forgets...
This. Looks. Amazing. About cheating death and protecting the ones you love, I just can't wait to read it. I mean, look at this snippet:
"The choices I had made led to the moment when fate took over. I would learn a lesson I wasn’t prepared for.
And Death would be my willing teacher."
And Death would be my willing teacher."
How amazing?!
Well, that's my Mailbox. I had an awesome week - including my epic NetGalley raid! ;)
What's in your mailbox this week?

I love all the old books! I really do. I think they are awesome.
I like all the ones you have got from Net Galley too. I haven't seen those yet.
Wow... all the old books look so... smart! Lol even though they're fictional stories. Just add a little dust to them, and they could be some old science book
Oops sorry. I forgot to ask you where'd you get them?
Great books! I love Celia Rees books, but I haven't heard of There Is No Forgiveness - hope you enjoy this one and all your others! :)
I recently discovered Feyland, and it definitely has me intrigued. It's definitely one I'll be looking more into.
These are mostly new to me. enjoy!
