In My Mailbox (IMM) was started by The Story Siren a few years back, and is a great way for bloggers to give the books they are reading (or are planning to read) a quick mention. I have a bunch of good ones this week, and it pains me that I can't read faster!
Abandon
By Meg Cabot
Publisher: Scholastic
Publication Date: April 26th, 2011
Source: Purchase
Date Acquired: May 13th, 2011
Goodreads Synopsis
I have been excited about this one for quite awhile! It's another story about the Underworld, but I bet it's 10x better than Falling Under.
Flip
By Martyn Bedford
Publisher: Wendy Lamb Books
Publication Date: April 5th, 2011
Source: Library
Date Acquired: May 14th, 2011
Goodreads Synopsis
This storyline is so intriguing to me. I just found out about this one a few weeks ago, and I think it's going to be good!
The Vespertine
By Saundra Mitchell
Publisher: Harcourt Children's Books
Publication Date: March 7th, 2011
Source: Library
Date Acquired: May 14th, 2011
Goodreads Synopsis
Once again, I am reading a book for it's cover. Doesn't it rock?
The Iron King
By Julie Kagawa
Publisher: Harlequin Teen
Publication Date: February 1st, 2010
Source: Purchase
Date Acquired: May 13th, 2011
Goodreads Synopsis
A little late to the party with this one, I know...'ve been so disappointed the past few times I've read books about fey, that I skipped this when it came out. Then I heard great things, so I'm giving it a shot.
Beautiful Creatures
By Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl
Publisher: Little Brown Books for Young Readers
Publication Date: December 1st, 2009
Source: Purchase (Kindle)
Date Acquired: May 15th, 2011
Goodreads Synopsis
I know, I know! I can't believe I haven't read this book either. It just always gets pushed back, I guess.
Stay
By Deb Caletti
Publisher: Simon Pulse
Publication Date: April 5th, 2011
Source: Library
Date Acquired: May 15th, 2011
Goodreads Synopsis
I've been looking forward to this one!
I can so relate - I wish I could read faster! I hope you like The Iron King... for me, I found the fey world a little overbearing in this one. I wish it focused more on the characters than the world itself. I enjoyed it but I was expecting to LOVE it. Maybe that was the problem! Here's my first IMM!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week, Jen
Very popular books, enjoy!

OOOh I really liked Beautiful creatures, but I still haven't gotten round to reading the sequel. You got good books-hope you enjoy em all!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my IMM.
ReplyDeleteI really can't wait to read Abandon. I'm a hardcore Meg Cabot fan.
Hope you have fun with all your books. :)
I want to read faster all the time, too xD So many books and so little time, right?
ReplyDeleteOh, I received Abandon and a couple of other books today, but I have soo many other book I just have to read first because if I don't read like "First come first serve" I'd never get anywhere :D
Amen on wanting to read faster! I have The Iron King, too, but it's going to be coming up after Abandon. :) I hope you enjoy all of your books this week, and happy reading!
ReplyDeleteOmg! This may been one of the best IMMs I have ever seen! Sooo jealous! I can't wait to read The Vespertine and Stay!!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to hear what you think of Flip. I've been wanting to get someones opinion on it.
ReplyDeleteGreat IMM! Beautiful Creatures and The Iron King are both fantastic! Enjoy!

Wow- lots of great books this week! I really liked The Vespertine (It's slow starting but trust me- stick with it) and Iron King. I know exactly what you mean about wanting to read faster- so many books, so little time!
ReplyDeleteGreat books this week! The Vespertine is amazing! It does have a pretty cover. I haven't read The Iron King either...!

I wish I could read faster too!! The Vespertine looks interesting, and I just finished Abandon! I will have a review for it on my blog tomorrow :o) That's a nice bunch of books!
ReplyDeleteGood haul! You'll love Vespertine. I can't wait to get Abandon. It's been on my list for a while now. I haven't heard of Flip before! Thanks for posting that one. I'll have to go check it out.
