In My Mailbox (24)

In My Mailbox is hosted by The Story Siren.

ZOMBIES!!

Look what I got this week:

Lovely gooey horror! I think this is also called The New Dead elsewhere in the world, but this Australian/UK edition is called Zombie: An Anthology of the Undead, edited by Christopher Golden.

My library request for The Windup Girl by Paolo Bacigalupi came in finally. I WoWed this a short while ago, even though it's one for adults, because it's dystopian and has had rave reviews. Bacigalupi has a YA dystopian coming out later in the year as well, called Shipbreaker.


Also for review I received Blue Bloods and Masquerade by Melissa de la Cruz. I really love these covers compared to the US ones. What do you think?


Up this week will be reviews of Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury (in a word, outstanding), The Puzzle Ring by Kate Forsyth (delicious) and The Dead Tossed Waves by Carrie Ryan (Frakking. Awesome.) I have so much catching up to do! With any luck I'll also get my reviews of If I Stay by Gayle Foreman and A Breath in May by Robin Hogan up as well.

So what did you get?

  1. Great books! And I totally prefer the UK covers for the Blue Blood series as opposed to the US versions. They're a lot more eye catching in my opinion.

    Anyways, enjoy all of your great books. :D

    Looking forward to your review of The Dead Tossed Waves - I just can't wait to read that one.

    I got lots of great things but most excitingly The Extraordinary Secret of April, May and June by Robin Benway.

  5. Zombiiiies! (are awesome)
    You got great books this week. I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts on Melissa De la Cruz's books, since I've been hesitant to read those for a while now. I (re)read Fahrenheit 451 recently too, and really enjoyed it. I can't wait to read your review of this one, too!

  10. I like this cover of Masquerade better than its US counterpart but I feel the other way around with Blue Bloods, lol! Call me difficult ;P

    I really liked Fahrenheit 451-I had to read it in high school and it blew me away :) Puzzle Ring!! I read a review for it and it made me want to try it! Can't wait for your review now :D

  13. Great books! I've been meaning to read Windup Girl for a while now. Can't wait to see what you think! And I'm SO jealous you've read The Dead Tossed Waves! I've been waiting for that since I finished The Forest of Hands And Teeth a year ago!
