FOR REVIEW


Sorry for the dark picture... ;) 


Kill All Enemies by Melvin Burgess (UK Proof)
I was a little bit worried about what I would think of this as it's not the kind of book I would normally read, and it was for a blog tour... But I'm half way through and it's AMAZING :D So good! Thanks to Penguin for this one!


Glow by Amy Kathleen Ryan (UK Proof) *SQUEE*
I am SO EXCITED to have this one, it sounds AMAZING :D Thanks to MacMillan for this one!


VIII by H.M. Castor (UK Proof)
This is also for a blog tour coming up in October, and I'm really excited for it! It's a fictional account of Henry VIII's life and it sounds really good, and it's had some amazing review, so I'm excited to read this! Thanks to Templar Publishing for this one!


Abandon


Abandon by Meg Cabot (UK Proof) *Squee*
Again, another really exciting book! :D And the UK paperback cover is GORGEOUS. I mean, the US hardback is nice, but this one is even better :D I've even included a picture so you can see the amazingness of it :) In my opinion, anyway... ;) Thanks to MacMillan for this one!


Dark Inside by Jeyn Roberts (UK Paperback)
I'd never heard of this one before I opened the parcel, but it sounds really good so I'm excited to give this one a try! Thanks to MacMillan again for this one!


WON







Haunting Violet by Alyxandra Harvey and some goodies! (Won from Liz at My Favourite Books)
I'm so excited to read this one too, and I know I've said that about almost every book I got this week... ;P Anyway, it looks really good and the goodies are awesome! I got 4 HV badges and a tote bag :D Thanks Liz! :D 


What did you all get in your mailboxes? Anything nice? Leave me a link in the comments! :D

    I received Dark Inside a few weeks ago. It sounds interesting. Hoping to get to it sometime before it's released. The covers are different, but I guess that's normal.

In My Mailbox is hosted by Kristi at The Story Siren. The lighting's not great, and neither is the sound. Again. My laptop camera is crappy... Sorry ;) For Review: Pandemonium by Lauren Oliver - OMGosh, SO excited for this one! Gifted: Destined by PC & Kristin Cast - From Andy (@PewterWolf13) THANK YOU :D Bought: The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater - I already had a proof but I wanted a finished copy Free: Fracture by Megan Miranda - Free from the Maggie Stiefvater event This week I went to another event in Foyles, this time it was Maggie Stiefvater! :D She is one of the coolest and nicest people ever, and her talk was hilarious! I had to try really hard not to snort-laugh at her, it was AWESOME :D I met Cicely from Cicely Loves Books and her mum (again) and as always they were lovely, and I got all 7 of my books signed by Maggie :D We were second in the queue too - I think that event was the best one I've been to :D Maggie and me :)
