In My Mailbox 11


In My Mailbox is weekly meme hosted by Kristi at The Story Siren.

My eleventh IMM post - here we go.

Books I received this week.

In The Post:

Jessica's Guide to Dating on the Dark Side - Beth Fantaskey
The second book in the series was featured in a couple of Waiting on Wednesday posts this week so I thought it was time to get the first it's been on my wishlist for a while.

Cinnamon and Roses - Heidi Betts
An old romance novel that was recommended on the amazon.com forums.

The Sweetest Thing - Jill Shalvis
Yay! The second book in the Lucky Harbor series, I loved the first.
Blood Law - Jeannie Holmes
A new vampire series I thought I might try.

For Review:

Called Home - Gloria Schumann

Kindle:

Class Collision - Annette Mackey
A few people had this in their IMM posts last week so I thought I would see what the fuss was about.

Netgalley:

The Vampire Narcise - Colleen Gleason

Won:

Diary of a Wimpy Kid - Jeff Kinney

From the lovely Amber @ The Mile Long Bookshelf. Thank you Amber!





Yay me - I didn't go to crazy this week. I am saving my pennies for April 5th. I've already pre-ordered Red Glove, Where She Went and City of Fallen Angels.

That's all for now.

    I read Jessica's Guide a few years ago, but wasn't too impressed. I hope you enjoy it though, it's got a lot of good reviews! And I've been meaning to read Diary of a Wimpy Kid for aages - it looks so funny, and I've seen a lot of positive ratings for it! Happy reading :).

    Haven't read any of these books, but Jessica's Guide to Dating on the Dark Side and Diary of a Wimpy Kid are supposed to be good. Enjoy!

    I haven't read any vampire books in about two years, but I've been meaning to go back to them. I hope you like Blood Law because then it might push me back towards the vampires.
    Hope you enjoy all of your new books :)

    Eon is awesome. Like seriously awesome. I think everyone should read but I am an insane fangirl like that. Jessica's Guide is interesting. Not great but interesting and definitely entertaining. I believe there may be an (albeit ill-advised) sequel too.

    Diary of a Wimpy Kid started my nephew really to getting into reading. How fun to have won a copy. I'm not familiar with any of the other books, but it looks like you got some great stuff on pre-order! I'm jealous.

    I keep hearing about Diary of a Wimpy Kid. I'm really curious about it. I'm hoping when I can finally get a library card here (I just moved and have to get a new state id) that I'll be able to rent it.

    I hope you love JESSICA'S GUIDE as much as I did, back in 2010. It was wonderful. And those other books look pretty neat as well!

    Blood Law looks good, and I hadn't heard of it before, so I'll add it to my reading list. Is Netgalley working out for you? I just signed up and have yet to request anything.

    Thanks for stopping by my blog!
