In My Mailbox (December)
In My Mailbox is hosted by The Story Siren. Join in and link up! I don’t get enough books to participate on a weekly basis, so I’m going to share highlights of the books I get for review, buy, or check out from the library. I may not read all of these (for various reasons) but I still want to share what comes my way!
All links go to the book’s page on Goodreads.
Review Copies:
Dance of Shadows by Yelena Black — I’ve been looking forward to this one about paranormal ballet.
Requiem by Lauren Oliver — The third book in the Delirium trilogy.
The Madness Underneath by Maureen Johnson — Second book in the Shades of London series.
The Sea of Tranquility by Katja Millay — Does anyone understand why the ebook comes out months before the print book?
Peregrine Harker and the Black Death by Luke Hollands — Humorous steampunk mystery.
The Rules (Project Paper Doll #1) by Stacey Kade — A half alien/half human girl tries to hide in plain sight from the scientists who want to find her.
The Madman’s Daughter by Megan Shephard — Inspired by The Island of Dr. Moreau.
The Panem Companion by V. Arrow — Essays on The Hunger Games trilogy, from the same people who published The Girl Who Was on Fire.
Gifts:
The Immortal Rules by Julie Kagawa — Thanks to my Secret Santa, Amanda at Letters Inside Out! I promise to read it because it’s outside of my “comfort zone.”
Hex Hall by Rachel Hawkins — Also from my Secret Santa.
Every Day by David Levithan — Special thanks to Michelle at Roaring Out!
The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald — Got a shelf-worthy hard copy from my mom for Christmas.
Purchased:
A Million Suns by Beth Revis — The second book in the Across the Universe series. I was afraid of the second book in the trilogy being dull (that’s been a trend lately), but I’ve been assured this isn’t the case. E-book bought on my Nook.
Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi — Audio book purchased from Audible (Holiday Relief sale!)
Wonder by RJ Palacio — Audio book purchased from Audible (Holiday Relief sale!)
Where Things Come Back by John Corey Whaley — Hardcover from Amazon.com (I got $5 off).

Great selection of books! Will have to add some of them to my wishlist
Have a wonderful New Year.
Okay, I have to get my hands on Dance of Shadows. Paranormal ballet? YES PLEASE!!!!
It’s definitely got very sexy and dangerous at the same time. I definitely recommend it!
I have heard Sea of Tranquility is awesome!
Wow, what a great IMM! I hope you have fun reading all these great books.
Also, thanks a bunch for the wonderful holiday gift. I’ve been out of town for a while, and just received it today. I can’t wait to begin reading the books you sent!
Happy New Year!

Glad I could help out by putting a good book in your mailbox
I’ve been meaning to read “Cinder” and the “Across the Universe” series looks interesting. I always find great reads when I read your blog. Thanks for sharing!
