In My Mailbox (January 22nd, 2012)

In My Mailbox is a lovely meme for book voyeurs hosted by The Story Siren. 

This is my first IMM of 2012 and I actually do have quite a few books that need to be shown - but due to the nature of, well, my life, I only have one photo! They rest of my books are off in countries where I am currently not.

For review:

• Hallowed by Cynthia Hand
• Oliver Twisted by J. D. Sharpe - Please sir, I want some Goooore. Hehe! Sounds adorably disturbing.
• Fracture by Megan Miranda 
• Pandemonium by Lauren Oliver - Eep! Can't wait to read this one.
• Advent by James Treadwell - I had not heard a thing about this book before I received it for review... but it sounds bloody brilliant. It comes out February 2nd, so I am going to have to get to it soon!
• Blood by K. J. Wignall

Bought:

• Eona by Alison Goodman - I haven't actually read Eon yet, nor do I even own it. But I have heard so many fantastic things about this duology that I am convinced I will enjoy them both.

 

 

Also for review:

• Crossed by Ally Condie - So glad I've started this series as it really is rather good!
• Revolution by Jennifer Donnelly - I had already purchased the hardcover of this book, but I do ever so like the paperback as well!
• Tiger's Voyage by Colleen Houck - I am not a fan of this series so will likely be giving it away.
• Betrayal by Lee Nichols - Just realised that this is the second book in a series... huh.
• Anthology - The Best Science Fiction and Fantasy of the Year Volume 6

  

Bought:

• Angelfall by Susan Ee - Alert the media: this is a self-published novel that I purchased on my own volition. I am stunned by myself - but I read fantastic reviews of this book and am convinced that it will be brilliant.
• Hana by Lauren Oliver - This Delirium novella had be quite excited when I first heard about it... but then I read quite a few disappointing reviews for it. Oh well.
• Daughter of the Flames by Zoe Marriott
• Genus by Jonathan Trigell
• A subscription to Lightspeed Magazine - I had been reading the free Lightspeed stories online, but decided that I should just go ahead and subscribe to the Kindle version of the magazine... especially now that it contains both Fantasy and Lightspeed stories. It's a fantastic mag, and if you want to read some unexpected, unusual stories I would highly recommend it!

And.... the signed book:

• The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater - SQUEE! I was so epically disappointed when Maggie did her first UK tour while I was not there.... but luckily, Foyles saved me a signed copy. Because they are awesome like that.

*wipes brow* I'm pretty sure that's it - when you put off posting your IMM posts for a month, things start to pile up!
