In My Mailbox!

*Comes in happy dancing* I don't mean to brag but Mr. UPS Man dropped off an AMAZING surprise today. I don't know exactly where it came from (I'm guess Goodreads?) but Madame Tussaud by Michelle Moran showed up. As a HUGE Michelle Moran fan I am really excited about reading it, but I fear it will be another week or so before you see my review.

 

"When Marie Tussaud learns the exciting news that the royal family will be visiting her famed wax museum, the Salon de Cire, she never dreams that the king's sister will request her presence at Versailles as a royal tutor in wax sculpting. As Marie familiarizes herself with Princess Elisabeth and becomes acquainted with both Marie Antoinette and King Louis XVI, she witnesses the glamorous life of the court. It's a much different world than her fome on the Boulevard du Temples in Paris, where bread can only be had on the black market and men sell their teeth to put food on their tables.
The year is 1799, and men like Desmoulins, Marat, and Robespierre are meeting in the salons of Paris, speaking against the monarchy; there's whispered talk of revolution.
Spanning five years from budding revolution to the Reign of Terror, Madame Tussaud brings us into the world of an incredible heroine whose talent for wax modeling save her life and preserved the faces of a vanished kingdom." Book Blurb

Have you guys gotten any awesome goodies in the mail this week?

In My Mailbox! (Playing Catchup!)

Okay, so I know I haven't done a 'In My Mailbox' in a while, so I thought I would play a bit of catchup today. (:

So here it goes:


Out for Blood by Alyxandra Harvey

I did not request this book, but from what I understand the Entice tour and the tour for this book were done together (sort of?) so that's probably why they sent it to me. It looks like a pretty cool book though! But I have to say-- the guy model is in no way good looking. Since I haven't read the book, I don't know, but maybe he's not supposed to be. On my ARC copy I swear he looks like a girl. Okay. I'm done cover bashing for a moment.




Lost on Spirit River by Tommy Batchelor

Again, not the best cover art in the world. However, I will be doing a blog tour for this book in a couple of weeks, so I have high hopes for the story.

Lore: East and Eight by Chad T. Douglas

So I don't have the actual cover for this book yet (online), but it is pretty awesome. Its the second book in the awesome Lore Trilogy, so I am dying to read it! But I'm sticking to my resolution (hah!) and waiting until I finish The Fellowship of the Ring first.

That's about it! Has anyone else gotten any awesome reads in the mail over the holidays?

In My Mailbox!

Yes, In My Mailbox is a meme started by the Story Siren! <--- Check it out!

This week I didn't get much in the mail. Heaven knows I don't need to get much in the mail as far as books go, but I couldn't help doing a little happy dance when this came in! 




That's right! Its the third in the Need Series by Carrie Jones!! I can't wait to read it. Entice will be released in hardcover by BloomsburyUSA on December 14th. Sounds like a pretty awesome Christmas gift to me!

"Zara and Nick are soul mates, meant to be together forever. But that's not quite how things have worked out.
 

For starters, well, Nick is dead. Supposedly, he's been taken to a mythic place for warriors known as Valhalla, so Zara and her friends might be able to get him back. But it's taking time, and meanwhile a group of evil pixies is devastating Bedford, with more teens going missing every day. An all-out war seems imminent, and the good guys need all the warriors they can find. But how to get to Valhalla?
 

And even if Zara and her friends discover the way, there's that other small problem: Zara's been pixie kissed. When she finds Nick, will he even want to go with her? Especially since she hasn't just turned. She's Astley's queen." -Goodreads.com

In My Mailbox (On Thursday!)

Yes, I'm posting this on Thursday. *Le gasp!* Anyways, I got some pretty cool stuff in the mail this week and get this... All of it a surprise! Meaning, no I didn't ask for it and not all of it the type of stuffs I read. But nevertheless the shiny covers have caught my attention and I'm sure I will read them. Even if it does mean being blinded by the hot pink ARC! =)

I received:

For Keeps by Natasha Friend


Plus by Veronica Chambers


Invisible Girl by Mary Hanlon Stone
(No cover photo online yet)

The Extraordinary Secrets of April, May, & June by Robin Benway


And... *Drum roll, please* 10 Vampire Academy tattoos plus a blue Vladimir Tod button. I'm thinking about saving them for a kickin' (or should I say bitin'?) future contest! ;) Keep looking for that.

I'm really looking forward to reading April, May, & June!

Much love,
Arya
