In My Mailbox (16)

Button from Bewitched Bookworm
In My Mailbox is a meme started by Kristi at The Story Siren with some inspiration from Alea of Pop Culture Junkie where we get to post about the books we receive each week through publishers/authors, our own purchases, contests won, and libraries.

For Review


Thank you Netgalley and Disney-Hyperion!

If you're not already following either of these bloggers, then please click on their names and visit their blogs. Both are fantastic blogs that I read frequently and highly recommend.

I am almost finished with The Iron Queen (and hopefully by the time I finish writing this post the universe will have stopped conspiring to not allow me to read and I'll have finished it!) and I am loving it! Everything I thought I felt about this series has been chucked out the window.



What did you get this week? Has anyone read any of these books yet? Did you like them? 
Feel free to comment with links to your mailboxes or your reviews of these books!

  1. How cool that you got Royal Treatment. I really, really want to read Princess for Hire.

  2. Looks like a grand old haul! You are so lucky to have won 2 books. I enter contests, but have yet to win one. The Royal Treatment is a #2 in a series. What is the name of book #1?

  3. I got The Royal Treatment too! So I'm aiming to reading both it and Princess for Hire soon.

    I actually did get some stuff this week. My cousin came from a visit and she brought me some books I had ordered (all 60$% off or more!) so I got: I did (But I wouldn't now) by Cara Lockwood, Fat Cat and My Most Excellent Year by two other authors I can't recall just now. And some others she surprised me with.

  6. Great batch of books! YAY for loving The Iron Queen - I really enjoyed the first two books, but this one solidified my love for the series. Can't wait to hear your thoughts on it!

  7. Eyes Like Stars has been on my shelf forever! Many of the scenes are like play directions. If that makes sense. It sounds like a cool book. I haven't read any of the books. Can't wait to read The Iron Queen, though. I got Mercy, too! Love the cover on The Royal Treatment. Happy reading!

  8. Smalls, Are you trying to take my winning streak away from me? :P

    Love your mailbox this week. Congrats on your wins. I totally want those books. You've got me all kinds of curious on TIQ.

    And what is up with that cover for Mercy?

    Happy Reading!

  9. Ooh you got some lovely books and congratulations on your wins. The Iron Queen (and the rest of the series) sound awesome and I can't wait to get to them.

    I love the cover of Eyes Like Stars and I've seen lots of people receive it over the last month or so, but I don't think I've read any reviews on it yet. Looking forward to hearing what you think of that one.

    I saw Mercy in Waterstones when I went shopping last week. It was very expensive for a paperback - about the price I'd pay for a hardback. Mind you, Waterstones is always expensive. I can get twice as many books for my money at Amazon, but I feel sorry for the highstreet shops loosing so much business. Oh I'm waffling and it's not even really about your IMM. Sorry 0_0

  10. Thanks for reminding me that I have to request a copy of A Tale of Two Castles as well. I would love to read it. And lucky you for winning the contest! I'm dying to read The Iron Queen, but for some reason my shipment from Book Depository is running extremely late. Meh.


    Take a look at what's in my Mailbox this week.
