In My Mailbox (4/16/12)



In My Mailbox is a weekly event hosted by The Story Siren, and it's all about talking about what you got in your mailbox each week! 





I'm a day later than usual on this, but I did get more books today so I'll just include them, too. Anyway, here we go!


FROM THE LIBRARY



-My Soul to Keep by Rachel Vincent. For the Soul Screamers Reading Challenge! Yays. I already reread it (I'd only just finished it when the proper Challenge month ended!), and you can see my review if you like!

-Embrace by Jessica Shirvington. I'd heard about this one, so I decided to give it a try! I've also already read this one, and I enjoyed it!


-SHADE by Jeri Smith-Ready. This is another reread, as I'm gearing up for SHINE's release!!!!


-Frostbite by Rachelle Mead. Vampire Academy was the first vamp book I read in a while to make me want to read the sequel, so...there it is :)




The books in this picture I just got literally twenty minutes ago lol, at my second library trip this week :)


-SHIFT by Jeri Smith-Ready. I really did mean to wait until a bit closer to SHINE's release to reread this one (I have SO MUCH to read rereads should be lower on my list, but...) but after rereading SHADE I just couldn't reist!


-Deadly Little Voices by Laurie Faria Stolarz. I've been DYING to read this one for FOREVER! It was checked out by various people for quite a while, but finally it's my turn to read it!!


-BZRK by Michael Grant. I'd heard about this one a while ago, but I just found it sitting on the "new" shelf at the library today! I'd gone in intending only to get SHIFT and Deadly Little Voices, but I just couldn't resist when I saw this!


-Black Heart by Holly Black. Another one I didn't mean to get, but couldn't NOT get once I saw it sitting there! I'm so excited to read this one!!!


ON MY KINDLE




-Untouched by Jus Accardo. Yay! I read this one and LOOOOVED it! There will be a review of it coming!


-The Book of Lost Souls by Michelle Muto. Looks awesome!!


-Eternal Eden by Nicole Williams. I've heard interesting things about this one! Looking forward to starting it!


-The Vincent Boys by Abbi Glines. I loved Existence by Abbi Glines, and lots of people seemed to like this one, too! I read it already and will admit it wasn't my favorite, but of course every book isn't for everyone!


IN MY ACTUAL MAILBOX




-Enthralled: Paranormal Diversions. I won this in an awesome #SHADEboys twitter chat, and I was so excited to get it!! And to make it even awesomer...





It's signed by Jeri Smith-Ready, and Logan even signed his story, Bridge :)


Plus, Jeri also included some super-cool swag!




How awesome is that?


So, what's in your mailbox this week?

Waiting on Wednesday: Predestined by Abbi Glines

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event hosted over at Breaking the Spine, spotlighting books that have not yet been released but are being greatly anticipated. Today, my pick under the category "OH MY GOSH YOU GUYS HAVE YOU SEEN THIS??" is the second book in the Existence Trilogy by Abbi Glines: Predestined.

(Watch out for Existence spoilers in the synopsis!)


You would think after helping save her boyfriend from an eternity in Hell that things would go back to normal. Well, as normal as life can be when you can see souls and your boyfriend is Death. But for Pagan Moore, things are just getting weirder. 

The high school quarterback and reigning heartthrob, Leif Montgomery, is missing. While the town is in a frenzy of worry, Pagan is a nervous wreck for other reasons. Apparently good ‘ol Leif isn’t your average teenage boy. He isn’t even human. According to Death, Leif doesn’t have a soul. The quarterback may have skipped town but he’s still showing up in Pagan’s dreams... uninvited. 

Dank has known from the beginning Leif wasn’t human. But he hadn’t worried about a simple soulless creature. Now, he realizes he made a grave mistake. Pagan’s soul has been marked since birth as a restitution, to a spirit so dark not even Death walks near it. Dank knows saving Pagan’s soul won’t be easy but Pagan is his. And he’s already proven he’ll defy Heaven to keep her. If Hell wants a piece of him too, then bring it on.
I only just read Existence, like, two days ago, but I thought it was awesome! (Review coming soon.) And I loved Dank from the very beginning. I'm totally excited to find out what happens next for Pagan and Dank. And I love the last line in that synopsis--so Dank :)

What are you waiting on this week?
