Mailbox Monday is a weekly event created by Marcia that travels to a new blog each month. Join in to share your book loot and discover some new book blogs. Jennifer at Mrs. Q Book Addict is the host for the month of July.
I broke my wrist last week and so typing (and most everything else) is slow going. My family has offered to type my reviews for me in the meantime 🙂
These are the books I received last week:
Bought:
Love on the Edge: Going Too Far and Forget You by Jennifer Echols – I loved Such A Rush (review coming soon) and wanted to read some of Echols’ other titles. I’m reading Going Too Far now.
Audiobooks Won:
The Trylle series trilogy (Switched, Torn and Ascend) audiobooks by Amanda Hocking, Narrated by Therese Plummer – won from Once Upon A Twilight – thanks!
Audiobooks for Review:
Shadow of Night by Deborah Harkness, Narrated by Jennifer Ikeda – I have the audio of A Discovery of Witches so I’ll listen to these back to back.
The Orphan Master by Jean Zimmerman, Narrated by George Guidall – A mystery set in 1663 New Amsterdam (now lower Manhattan).
Books for Review:
Once by Anna Carey – for a blog tour stop later this month
Fractured Light by Rachel McClellan – for a blog tour stop in August
Not Exactly a Love Story by Audrey Couloumbis – Sounds fun! It takes place in 1977, and from the description: “Audrey Couloumbis’s YA debut is a smooth-talking Cyrano meets Saturday Night Fever and tells a quirky, flirty, and smart story that will appeal to fans of Stephen Chbosky’s The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Frank Portman’s King Dork, Natalie Standiford’s How to Say Goodbye in Robot, and John Green’s An Abundance of Katherines.”
Mystic City by Theo Lawrence – Looks like a cool sci-fi dystopian.
Under My Hat: Tales from the Cauldron anthology by Jonathan Strahan – featuring short stories by Neil Gaiman, Holly Black, Diana Peterfreund, Margo Lanagan, Peter S. Beagle, Garth Nix and more.
All you Never Wanted by Adele Griffin – A story about sibling rivalry that sounds intense.
Library:
Purity by Jackson Pearce
The False Prince Audiobook by Jennifer A. Nielsen, Narrated by Charlie McWade
Sync YA free audiobook downloads of the week:
The Amulet of Samarkand by Jonathan Stroud, Narrated by Simon Jones
Tales from the Arabian Nights by Andrew Lang, Narrated by Toby Stephens
Have a great week!
oh no – how did you break your wrist? that sucks. i hope it’s not in too much pain. at least you have some good books and audiobooks to keep you company. under my hat sounds really cool and i haven’t heard of it before. ahhh shadow of night! i just got the hard cover last week and haven’t started it yet. i might do that when i get back from vacation. have a great week, lucy!
I was distracted and I fell wrong on my wrist. It’s very annoying mainly. Audiobooks are easier to handle now than holding a book, and I’m getting good at one-handed typing! Under My Hat does sound cool, hope you like Shadow of Night. Have fun on your vacation 🙂
So awesome! Ascend, Shadow of Night and Mystic City I want. They look fab
GOING TOO FAR! It’s my fave Echols book, I hope you LOVE it! Oh and I’m looking forward to Once!
And poor you! It’s so nice of your family to type reviews up for you 🙂
I am liking Going Too Far a lot so far- glad to hear it’s your fave. I haven’t read Eve yet so I’m wondering if I’ll be too lost if I read Once on it’s own.
I’ve broken a wrist before, so not fun! You have a great selection of books this week. I have Switched from the Tyrelle series, hoping to start it soon. Enjoy!
Going Too Far is my favorite by Echols (so far, I haven’t read Such a Rush yet). I hope you’re enjoying it. I really need to read Deborah Harkness’ series. They sounds great.
Sorry to hear about your wrist! I hope it feels better asap. So nice of your family to type for you. 🙂
Wow, that’s some mailbox. Enjoy!
Those should keep you busy for a while! I got the two Penguin audio books too. I hope they’re all winners!
What tempting books! Hope you enjoy them all…and here’s MY MONDAY MEMES POST
The Orphan Master looks interesting.

Purity is a super quick read, I wonder what you will think of it.
ALSO. It’s like an explosion of audiobooks. I love it! 😀
Sorry to hear about your wrist 🙁
Looks like you got some good reads ahead of you though!
Ouch, a broken wrist sounds painful. The audiobooks will come in handy, you don’t have to hold those! I have Orphanmaster and Shadow of Night too. I’m looking forward to those.
I have to read Fractured Light this month for a tour! It looks pretty good and I just read the prologue so hopefully i’ll get through it quick. Here’s my IMM =)
