In My Mailbox #7

In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by Kristi of The Story Siren and it allows book bloggers to show what they've gotten in the mail this week--as in books bought, borrowed, traded, received for review, etc.

 

Bought: 

Darklight by Lesley Livingston

Actually, upon purchasing this, I realized that I don't have the first book in the series. Because of this, I'm waiting until I go to the bookstore again before I read Darklight.

The Dark Divine by Bree Despain

This is a book I've been interested in for some time now--and since it finally came out as a paperback, I decided to pick it up.

Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins

I've heard a lot about Anna and the French Kiss, and decided that I liked Stephanie's writing style--while reading her blog and her tweets. Anyways, this lead to an eventful bookstore outing as it wasn't on display yet and I ended up having two employees help me locate a copy. Happily, as you can tell, they had it and after they handed me a copy, they put the other copies of it up on the new releases shelf. Also, apparently the manager had never heard the the word "dystopian" used to describe a book--we discussed The Hunger Games while hunting for a copy of Anna and the French Kiss. 

Matched by Ally Condie

Upon hearing so many good things about Matched and liking both the cover and the plot, I knew I had to pick up a copy. I finished reading it today and well, chances are my review will go up tomorrow night.

Received for Review: 

Across the Universe by Beth Revis (via Penguin Group)

Er, that is to say, I think that's the reason why I got another copy--not that I'm complaining. I've already read Across the Universe now and even if you aren't a science fiction person, I think you can enjoy this. That is to say that I really enjoyed it and well, there are several things that will surprise you--or at least, they certainly surprised me.

Won (not pictured):
Daughter of Darkness by V.C. Andrews
I won this from Tynga of Tynga's Reviews a little while ago and it finally came in! Admittedly I've read this already and I'm still trying to figure out how I feel about it which is why there isn't a review up for it just yet--it's sitting as a draft right now.

And that was what I got this week! :D What did you get in your mailbox?
