In My Mailbox #34

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

This week I decided to do another vlog, as I've got quite a lot to show you... It's better than the last one I did, so if you saw that, that's good I guess ;) Sorry about the rubbish lighting and sound, I recorded it with my laptop camera and it's not the best one in the world ;) Anyway, I hope you enjoy it!


Hourglass by Myra McEntire (Won from Vickie at ComaCalm)
Revolution by Jennifer Donnelly (Gifted from Cicely at Cicely Loves Books)
Embrace by Jessica Shirvington (For review from Orchard Books)
Sweetly by Jackson Pearce *Squee* (For review from Hodder Children's)
This Dark Endeavour by Kenneth Oppel (For review from Random House Children's Books)
Heist Society *signed* (For review from Orchard Books)
Nightshade by Maryrose Wood SWAG 
Heist Society swag - bookmark, buttons and a nail file(!)

In case you didn't watch the video, I went to the Heist Society signing in Bluewater today, and I got my copy of Heist Society signed, and some swag!

I also got a couple ebooks this week, which I completely forgot to show you... ;) I got:

Daimon (Covenant, #0.5)  Half-Blood (Covenant, #1)

Daimon by Jennifer L. Armentrout
Half-Blood by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Both of these books were under £3 and they're newly released this week, and I've heard so much awesome about them that I thought I may as well buy them while they're still cheap! :D

Anyway, that's what I got this week, leave me a comment and a link to your IMM in the comments! :D

    Loved your vlog Bella, and I'm with you how often do you get a book related nail file? Too cool to use I think.

    OOh nice! Congrats on the SIGNED book! And Jennifer's books were totally awesome! The prequel was soooo fun to read because it really helps you to understand the probs that the MC deals with in the beginning of Half Blood!

    My IMM goes up tomorrow, so be sure to stop by!

    Have a GREAT day!
