In My Mailbox (#62)

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! 






Ok, so I've not done an IMM since like forever.  So, this is like a month or something of books.  
I was lucky enough to go to HotKey and Templar's Blogger Brunch, where I met some great authors, publishers and bloggers.  And, of course, got some cool books.  
And, given this is a month, I've gotta say: I didn't buy too many books.  Y'know, for me.  :D
Anyways, this is what I've got...

From HotKey&Templar Blogger's Brunch:



Stray by Monica Hesse (Goodreads | Amazon)
What Happens When You Live A Life That Isn't Yours?
This one looks awesome - very much for fans of Insignia and what not.  Squee!
Death & Co. by D.J. McCune (Goodreads | Amazon)
There's More To Life Than Death
This looks totally awesome too - totally new and awesome take on the Grim Reaper!
The Ghost Bride by Yangsze Choo (Goodreads | Amazon)
OMG, this one looks amazing!!  I love learning about ancient traditions and beliefs and I love it even more when there's a brilliant sounding plot line!!
The Beautiful and the Cursed (The Dispossessed/Grotesque, Book One) by Page Morgan (Goodreads | Amazon)
This looks awesome - forget angels and vampires, it seems gargoyles are the new big thing! :D
Friday Brown by Vikki Wakefield (Goodreads | Amazon)
I'm intrigued by this one - it looks really really good and Wakefield is a huge author in Austrailia so it's exciting to see what she's like. :D
Ferryman by Claire McFall (Goodreads | Amazon)
Life.  Death.  Love.
Which Would You Choose?
OMG, currently reading this one and it's incredible!!  Like seriously awesome!  And the cover is just so pretty - it's shiny!! :D

Harry Styles by Alice Montgomery (Amazon)
The Unauthorised Biography
Ok, I'm going to say two things from the word go.  One: I'm not a big fan of biographies, unless they're historical ones about Martin Luther King or Queen Elizabeth I.  Two: I'm also not a die-hard One Direction fan.  So this book isn't something I'd buy myself.  But, who knows?  I skimmed a bit to see what it was like and the writing was very good - very engaging, so Harry Styles fans will love this.  

Pretty Girl Thirteen by Liz Coley (Goodreads | Amazon)

Ok, to explain these I should probably point out that my family is thinking of getting a Goldendoodle puppy.  My aunt has the loveliest Labradoodle who is completely crazy but so sweet.  And Goldendoodles - I don't know if you guys have seen one, but they are GORGEOUS!!  :D



Ok, so that's what I got!  I really will need to sleep less and read more to get through all of these!!  I have seriously got to stop buying books until I get my TBR pile under control!! ;)
