In My Mailbox (2) - I'm Back!

Hi everyone! After eons, I’m finally posting my IMM. I’ve been half-MIA for weeks now. The books have been piling up – good thing the sembreak started, so I can do something about that massive pile.

In My Mailbox is a meme hosted by Kristi from The Story Siren. It aims to encourage blogger interaction and to explore the newly acquired books of several bloggers.

I’ll start with the ones I bought because this is the first time that I spent my money on books. My money and not my mom’s or my dad’s. After 19 years of existence, I finally have a work!

Anyhoo – these are what I bought (sorry for the crappy pictures – I don’t have steady hands):

Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor – Just started this. Amazing. Prague? Karou? Wow.

Anna Dressed in Blood by Kendare Blake (loved it! Reviewed here.)

Matched by Ally Condie – I know everyone on the planet have read Matched aside from me. Now, I’m going to catch up in time for Crossed’s release.

Fateful by Claudia Gray – I love Claudia Gray! Looking forward to starting this one.

Borrowed from Kai of Amaterasu Reads!

Cryer’s Cross by Lisa Mcmann

Waterfall by Lisa Bergren (finished – it’s amazing)

Imaginary Girls by Nova Ren

Hunting Lila by Sarah Alderson
