In My Mailbox is a weekly event hosted by The Story Siren where we get to share the books we received over the week for review, purchase, loan or trade.
Over the past two weeks I received:
Purchased:
Fever by Lauren DeStefano – currently reading
Pandemonium and Hana by Lauren Oliver – Ahhh! Finally.
For Review:
Grave Mercy by Robin LaFevers – I’m expecting good things from this one.
Netgalley:
The Vicious Deep by Zoraida Córdova – Merpeople! Sounds awesome.
Library Audiobooks: I picked up a bunch of audiobooks to try out. Didn’t check audio reviews yet but hopefully these will be great.
The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater
Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher
Finnikin of The Rock by Melina Marchetta
Leverage by Joshua C. Cohen
A Kiss in Time by Alex Flinn
Cloaked by Alex Flinn
Don’t Breathe a Word by Holly Cupala (e-book)
What did you receive in your mailbox this week?
Lots of great books! I’ve heard The Scorpio Races is great!
Great haul! You’ll definitely have to let me know what you think of Thirteen Reasons Why and Don’t Breathe a Word. These are two stories I’ve been looking into.
I’m excited to hear about the audiobooks. I got Grave Mercy from NG and I’m really expecting great things as well. I mean, assassin nuns?! I always think that girl on the cover of Pandemonium is wearing a shirt made of flowers…
Yeah, assassin nuns is a new one isn’t it? I was excited at the audiobook selection this week. The library is one of my favorite audiobook resources 🙂
It does look like she is up to her neck in flowers on the Pandemonium cover. Can’t wait to read it!
I seriously need to get my hands on Pandemonium so I can find out what happens. I hope you enjoy everything you got this week. Here’s my IMM!

Great haul. So many books that are on my wish list. I got Grave Mercy too and I haven’t seen this cover of Vicious Deep. It’s almost scary.
My IMM post
You’re right this is an updated cover of The Vicious Deep. It does look a little scary! Hope you love Grave Mercy.
I haven’t read any but they sound really nice. I hope you’ll enjoy them all.
My IMM
Oh, you had a great week! Pandemonium is just….so good. I can’t wait to see what you think. And Finnikin!!! Yay! I hope you LOVE it as much as I do. Enjoy all your new reads.
I saw you raved about Finnikin so I’m excited to check it out! And I know you love Delirium too so I have high hopes for Pandemonium 🙂
you have the best library ever. Awesome audiobooks.
We shall see! I got lucky this week with the selection.
Pandemonium twins! I’m excited to read that one. Hopefully I’ll cut a major swath through all the books ahead of it on my TBR so I can get to it faster! I also got Grave Mercy from NetGalley (although I forgot to mention it in my vlog) and I’ve read it and it was FANTASTIC. Seriously, one of my favorite books of the year already. And The Vicious Deep! Is that really on NetGalley? Did I miss it? AHH! That one sounds great also! So many good books this week, Lucy! Enjoy 🙂
So glad to hear Grave Mercy is fantastic and one of your favorites of the year! I’ll have to bump it up somehow. So many books to read!
I seriously need to start reading more audiobooks, I just don’t have time for them 🙁 But I ought to give it a shot anyway. Anyway, you got a lot of awesome here – hope you enjoy it all!

It’s funny because I listen to more audiobooks when I’m too busy to read. But I enjoy reading and listening and try to fit in both everyday somehow. Thanks for stopping by, Tara 🙂
Ooh, I bet the Thirteen Reasons Why audiobook is great. It just seems like it was written to be read that way. I look forward to a review on that one in the future!
That’s what I thought too, Brian! I’ve been meaning to read it for awhile and at only 6.5 hours long the audiobook should be quick to get through. Thanks for stopping by!
I’m expecting great things from Grave Mercy too!
Also? You already know this, but audiobooks are the best.
Happy reading 🙂
Yes indeed, April! I know you are also an appreciator of audiobooks 🙂
Ooh, the Vicious Deep! I’m dying to get my hands on that one. Very nice haul!
Awesome mailbox! I am excited to see what you think about Pandemonium.
Woohoo for audio books! I love the covers for A Kiss in Time and Cloaked. I’m really, really excited for Grave Mercy. I might bump a few books so I could read that next. Awesome book haul!
I may have to bump up Grave Mercy too, Michelle! There are a few different covers floating around for the Alex Flinn books but I think I like these best too.
So much awesomeness 🙂 Hana’s only ebook format, right? I totally missed it when it was available to read online for free >_<
Thanks! Yes, ebook only for Hana. I had already preordered it when the free link was up.
I hope you enjoy 13 Reasons Why!! It’s intense yet so good!!
Glad to hear it! I think I’m the last blogger to have read it, and it does sound intense.
What a great looking haul! I am going to have to check out some of those books…
Thanks for sharing!

Awesome selection this week!! Enjoy them all 🙂 I still have to finish Delirium, but I’m glad the next one is out and I don’t have to wait!
Hi Lucy, you have a lot of books here! And such great titles as well! I’ve been meaning to read Scorpio Races since it has received really rave reviews from a number of bloggers/teachers/educators. Don’t Breathe a Word also seems very intriguing and I’ve seen a lot of that lately. Enjoy your new reads!
