In My Mailbox (3)

In My Mailbox is hosted by Kristi @ The Story Siren and is my first ever meme where you share all the books you received during the week whether it be from the library or in the mail post.
This week I got:


You Against Me ~ Jenny Downham (Library)
Matched ~ Ally Condie (Library)
Plague ~ Michael Grant (Library) YAY!! I've been waiting for this for ages!
Divergent ~ Veronica Roth (Library)
Hush Hush ~ Becca Fitzpatrick (Library)

Forgive My Fins ~ Tera Lynn Childs (won x2 - many thanks to Donna & Jess @ Book Passion for Life and also Leanna @ Daisy Chain Book Reviews - I genuinely had no idea I'd ever win both!!
Flawless ~ Lara Chapman (won - many thanks to Karen @ The Slowest Bookworm for this)
The Betrayal of Natalie Hargrove ~ Lauren Kate (Library)
Timeraiders ~ Alex Scarrow (Library)

I'm really grateful to have won so many books, but how typical is it that I finally start winning books and end up with two of the same title?! :P I've also discovered I'm allowed to join two different boroughs of libraries, and the new borough I've joined has FREE RESERVATIONS, so obviously I've ordered everything I've been dying to get, and some of it has already arrived, so I'm a very happy bunny this week :D
What did you guys get in your mailbox this week?

  6. -Wow! You got a lot of great books! I'm jealous that you got TWO Forgive My Fins! You are a lucky duck! :) I hope you enjoy all your books! Especially You Against Me. I read Jenny's other book, Before I Die, and was amazed. Hopefully the same will happen for You Against Me. :) I adore your blog; I'm a new follower!

  11. @PeggyThank you for following :) I'm quite enjoying Matched, it's a very nice concept, but not as much as I thought I would! Thank you :)

  12. I'm going to end up reading Flawless sometime in the near future because of the Modern Retelling Challenge I'm involved in is so big I'm sort of having to read whatever modern retellings I can find. It looks good though.

  17. @Book Sake I've heard great things about both, especially Divergent, but Matched isn't really living up to my expectations. Thank you for commenting :)

  18. Hi Alicia, Thanks for stopping by my blog and commenting. I'm a new follower. You have a great IMM. Plague looks intresting, I'll have to go check it out on Goodreads. i really want to rea Betrayal by Lauren Kate, I've read Fallen and Torment and it's always cool to read a book from a different series to see how the writing changes.

  20. @Tristan No problem - thank you for following :) Plague is brilliant, as is the rest of the Gone series - I couldn't recommend them enough!
    I really want to read Fallen, I should (hopefully) be getting it soon; I know what you mean about reading the author's different series :)

  21. @Kristin Thank you - I'm glad you enjoyed Hush Hush :)

  24. You have a lot of reading to do! I haven't had that happen to me yet, winning 2 of the same books. You can always do a giveaway for one of the books or give it to a friend.

  26. @Kristina I know - my mum's banned me from reserving anything else until I've read them all :P I certainly wasn't expecting it; thank you for the suggestions :)

  27. @Alison Can Read Thank you for commenting :) I wasn't too keen on Matched if I'm honest...

    ReplyDelete
  28. Alicia what a great set of books. I'm waiting to collect "Divergent" at my local library, I reserved it because it's YA Reads book chat this month.

    I was very lucky to have met Lauren Kate this weekend but I only got her to sign my trilogy, and now that I've seen "Betrayal..." cover...is so beautiful! Reminds me of the Luxe series covers.

  29. @Angelica Joy Thank you :) Divergent looks really good, but I've not got round to reading it yet - I hope you enjoy it :)
    Ooh you are lucky! I've heard great things about the Fallen trilogy, but I have to say I really didn't like Betrayal, so I hope I like Fallen better; the cover is gorgeous though :) I got The Luxe this week - I agree it has a very nice cover. Thank you for commenting!
