In My Mailbox (#36)

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 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:

This Is Not Forgiveness by Celia Rees (Goodreads | Amazon)

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!

Gift:

The Pickwick Papers by Charles Dickens (Goodreads | Amazon)

The Works of Chaucer by Chaucer (Goodreads | Amazon)

The Poetical Works of Milton by John Milton (Goodreads | Amazon)

The Good Companions by J.B. Priestly (Goodreads | Amazon)

Of Human Bondage by W.S. Maugham (Goodreads | Amazon)

Nicholas Nickleby by Charles Dickens (Goodreads | Amazon)

From NetGalley:

Precious Bones by Mika Ashley-Hollinger (Goodreads | Amazon | 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!

Alias Dragonfly by Jane Singer (Goodreads | Amazon | NetGalley)

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

Catch and Release by Blythe Woolston (Goodreads | Amazon | NetGalley)

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...

Fractured Light by Rachel McClellan (Goodreads | Amazon | NetGalley)

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

On a Dark Wing by Jordan Dane (Goodreads | Amazon | NetGalley)

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."

How amazing?!

Well, that's my Mailbox.  I had an awesome week - including my epic NetGalley raid! ;)

What's in your mailbox this week?
