In My Mailbox (29)

This meme is hosted by The Story Siren.

I was so thrilled to receive Jekel Loves Hyde by Beth Fantaskey this week! I thought I'd have to wait ages for it to be out in Australia so it was a wonderful surprise.





















Also for review I received What I Saw and How I Lied by Judy Blundell. This looks like excellent historical fiction and won the National Book Award. Unfortunately the printing is terrible--the pages are wrinkled along the spine. I think this means the paper was cut against the grain. Oops.






















The Crowfield Curse by Pat Walsh has such a beautiful, sinister cover. I'm looking forward to a good paranormal mystery! Has anyone read this one?

And lastly, The Sky is Everywhere by Jandy Nelson. Not a speculative fiction read, but it really grabbed me when I read the first few paragraphs, and people have been so praising of it.

Walker Books released the thrilling book trailer for Patrick Ness's Monsters of Men this week. I am reading this right now and it's so frakking good!



I AM THE CIRCLE AND THE CIRCLE IS ME.

Happy reading!

  2. Great books. The Sky is Everywhere is very good but it took me a while to get into it I much prefer the Australian cover to the US one, it's lovely.

    Enjoy your books!

  11. Awesome books! I still have to read The Ask and The Answer, but I'm already psyched about Monsters of Men. The Sky is Everywhere sounds gorgeous too.

  12. I haven't read any of these but they have some great covers. I would probably start with The Crowfield Curse.
