Mailbox Monday ~43~

April 19, 2013 By Jessica Filed Under: In My Mailbox 26 Comments

Format: select

Mailbox Monday is where I show all the books I’ve gotten by various means throughout the week. Mailbox Monday was originally hosted by Marcia from A girl and her books and The Printed Page. This is a touring meme.  You can check out the main site for the full schedule.  April’s host is MariReads. 

I’m also going to link up with a similar meme called Stacking the Shelves hosted by Tynga’s Reviews :)

Since I LOVE book cover art on my kindle, I took my own pictures of the covers of my ebooks.

I haven’t written one of these post for almost 2 months!

Bought

    I really wanted to re-read The Host before going to see the film, but I don’t know if I’ll be able to. Still a favorite book. If you like it may I recommend another that has similar themes? The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey. Releases next month. I loved it MORE than The Host:)

    thanks for hopping by the bog earlier!

    I haven’t read any of these books, but I am really interested in the Jennifer Neilson books. We have them at the library, and they look fun.

    Enjoy all your goodies and happy reading :)

    I haven’t read any of these, but I want to read a few of them. I’ve tried reading The Host a couple times but never got very far. I’ll finish it eventually. Haha. Enjoy your books! (:

    Great haul! Nice score with the Dark Triumph! That’s awesome. I haven’t read Grave Mercy yet, but I hear great things. Storybound is another book I keep meaning to pick up. I can’t wait to hear your thoughts.

    What a nice assortment of books. I have read The Runaway King and The Host. I recently got Dark Triumph but couldn’t make the (relatively) local signing. I envy you your signed copy. Please come see what I got at Inside of a Dog and Ms. Martin Teaches Media. Happy reading!

    Great haul! The Host was quite good but I read it YEARS ago when I wasn’t really into Sci Fi… I might reread it again because I think I will like it LOADS better! I hope you enjoy all your books and thank you so much for stopping by my post!

    I want a signed copy of LaFevers’ books so badly. Every time I see The Host I kind of wince because I still have not read it…and I’ve had it for over a year at this point.
