In my mailbox (55)

This week's IMM is epic ...

Firstly review books from last week which I didn't get time to add to last week's IMM.

Panic by Jeff Abbott (UK paperback)
Dragon's Oath (House of Night Novella) by PC and Kristin Cast (UK paperback)
Wolfsbane by Andrea Cremer (UK paperback)
I literally can't wait to get started on this one as I loved the first.
Ship Breaker by Paolo Bacigalupi (UK paperback)

Second is my haul from the Random House Bloggers Brunch (minus a couple which have been sent out to my blogging friends)

This dark endeavour by Kenneth Opel (UK proof)
This looks amazing - Frankenstein prequel!
Blood magic by Tessa Gratton (UK finished copy)
I love this cover and it meant I could take my proof into school for one of my lovely girls who was very excited to get it.
The adventures of the New Cut Gang by Philip Pullman (UK proof)
I love Philip Pullman - Can't wait for this.
Trash by Andy Mulligan (UK signed paperback)
I really enjoyed this so was glad to get a signed copy.
Long Lankin by Lindsay Barraclough (UK signed hardback)
I already had this technically but now by beautiful copy is signed!!
Tender morsels by Margo Lanagan (UK paperback)
Texas Gothic by Rosemary Clement Moore (UK paperback)
City of Ghosts by Bali Rai

Next I have a selection of Books I picked up at the Norfolk Children's Book centre. It is absolutely by favourite bookshop in the world as it is beautiful and the lady who owns it really knows her stuff. They organise all the local author visits. I went to visit the shop with the English Department at school for a talk about a selection of the best children's and YA titles to come out over the last year.

A monster calls by Patrick Ness (UK signed hardcover)
I was so pleased to see they had a copy of this signed because it is one of the books i have most enjoyed this year so far.
Glow by Amy Kathleen Ryan (UK proof)
I was so excited to get a copy of this
VIII by HM Castor (UK proof)
Midwinter blood by Marcus Sedgewick (UK proof)
The three above are proofs that I was allowed to take that the lady who owned the shop had extras of which I was very very excited about.

Also earlier this week I had my birthday and I got all these lovelies which I am excited about every single one (thank you John, Hadley and Emma)

Darkness becomes her by Kelly Keaton (UK paperback)
The Stranger by Sarah Singleton (UK paperback)
I really enjoyed the first one in the series and am hoping this is as good
Hereafter by Tara Hudson (UK paperback)
I love the cover for this one
Ballad by Maggie Stiefvater (UK paperback)
Forever by Maggie Stiefvater (UK paperback)
Yay! So looking forward to this one.

Intertwined by Gena Showalter (UK paperback)
Anne of the green gables by LM Montgomery (Puffin Classics Hardback)
Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson (Penguin Classics hardback)
I will admit I am a bit obsessed with these!
Buffy season 8 issue 7 and 8
Charmed season 9
Whilst not that much of a graphic novel reader I do like the buffy one and am looking forward to the charmed one.

Finally I have a few books here that I got later in the week - most of them for review, but also including a couple more of the puffin classics I ordered for myself as a reward for finishing all the evil exam marking I've been doing for the last few weeks.

The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett (Puffin Classics Hardback)
Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame (Puffin Classics hardback)
I had to order these - They are just too beautiful
A Blue so dark by Holly Schindler (US paperback)
... then I met my sister by Christine Hurley Dersio (US paperback)

Delerium by Lauren Oliver (UK paperback)
