In My Mailbox (5)

December 4, 2011

In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by Kristi over at The Story Siren. It’s awesome. Every week, we all get a chance to tell everyone what new books we’ve gotten so that we can tell you guys and we can all drool and squee together! Huzzah for squees!

Lots of fun stuff from the library and my own pocketbook this week, friends! Happy December to everyone!

FROM THE LIBRARY

A Touch Mortal: A Touch Trilogy, book 1, by Leah Clifford (February 22, 2011 from Greenwillow). I’m still catching up on my angel books, and this one sounds really good. A girl, who is caught between life and death, falls in love with a fallen angel and becomes a key piece in the war between heaven and hell. I’m in.

The Magnolia League: Magnolia League, book 1, by Katie Crouch (May 3, 2011 from Poppy). Southern debutantes who make deals with hoodoo priests? Sounds like something I would LOVE.

All These Things I’ve Done: Birthright, book 1, by Gabrielle Zevin (September 6, 2011 from Farrar, Straus and Giroux).  This book sounds SO FAB! First of all, I don’t even want to THINK about a time or place when coffee and chocolate are AGAINST THE LAW. I’m fascinated by the twisted mind that could imagine such a place! But this book also sounds a little Russian-mafia-ish, and I’m loving that, too. I’ve been waiting for this one for a while from my library and I can’t wait to devour it…while drinking coffee and stuffing chocolate in my face.

Darkfever: Fever, book 1, by Karen Marie Moning (October 31, 2006 from Delacorte). This series has been floating around my brain for a LONG TIME, but I’ve always managed to grab other things–usually thing that, unlike this series, are YA books–but I decided the other day to get on it already. So I am VERY EXCITED to read about grown-up fairies!

BOUGHT

Pyxis: The Discovery: Pyxis, book 1, by K.C. Neal (November 4, 2011 from StoneHouse Ink). I’ve been hearing lots of great things about this book. It’s a paranormal fantasy about a young girl who realizes that she’s being haunted–along with her boyfriend–by a dark force, and also by a creepy lady, who may be able to give Corinne some answers to her questions about her grandmother, who has some interesting secrets.

That’s it for me this week! What about you guys?
