In My Mailbox (2)

In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by Kristi at The Story Siren where you talk about the books you bought/received during the week.

Can I start off by saying I am so sorry that I haven't updated in so long! I've been super busy and I haven't had much access to a computer for a few months. I've still been reading like crazy though and now that I have a new computer expect lots of posts from me! Now, onto the books!

                                                                 Bought:





Glow by Amy Kathleen Ryan: I saw this sitting on the shelf and was instantly reminded of Across The Universe by Beth Revis. I already knew that some people were comparing it to that book so I was a bit hesitant to pick it up because I've tried and failed to get into Across The Universe earlier in the year, but so far I am totally captivated by the story so fingers crossed that I love it as much as I want to! And can I just say, Cover Love! It's even more gorgeous in person!







Unearthly by Cynthia Hand: I am so excited to read this! I've gone a bit off of paranormal romances because I can't stand the protaganists, to be honest! They seem to (with a few exceptions) be boring, whiny and weak characters but I hear great things about this book and the characters. Please don't let me down, Mrs Hand!



Bright Girls by Clare Chambers: One of those rare books I buy before hearing anything about it! I am a huge fan of UK YA and I'm always so excited to find a British title. The plot sounds interesting, maybe like a slightly older Jacqueline Wilson? (Who used to be the only author I would read haha!) Looking forward to getting stuck into this one!

In My Mailbox (1)

In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by Kristi at The Story Siren and I am so excited to be taking part for the first time!

                                                                        Bought:




Angel by L.A Weatherly: I've had my eye on this book for ages but the cover really creeps me out haha! The premise of the book sounds really interesting and original though, so when I saw it in a 3 for 2 offer in Waterstones I just had to buy it. I might have to hide it at the back of my bookshelf at night though so I don't get freaked out by the girl!

Warriors of Alavna by N.M Browne: I hadn't heard of this one before I spotted in the shop. It sounds so good! It's about two students who are on a school trip and get sucked back to Britain in 70AD. It reminds me a lot of the film Timeline which I love a lot so hopefully it will live up to my expectations. The girl at the counter had read the series and couldn't praise them enough, so fingers crossed I'll enjoy them!

Time Riders by Alex Scarrow: I have seen the Time Riders series in the YA section for so long but though they wouldn't interest me. So on Saturday when I was looking for a book to complete my 3 for 2 offer, I was pleasantly suprised when I read the blurb. It sounds so awesome- I can't wait to get stuck into this!

Paper Towns by John Green: I have wanted to read Paper Towns for ages. I started reading last night and oh my gosh, it is so freaking good! I'll try and finish it tonight so look out for my review sometime this week. (I really hope the ending doesn't disappoint!)

So that's what I got this week :) What did you guys get? Leave me a link to your IMM!
