In my Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by Kristi at The Story Siren in which bloggers share the books they have received each week.
I decided to mix things up this week and include my recent reviews and upcoming reads on the blog. As with a lot of blogs out there, I find that meme posts receive more comments than my reviews, so while you're here to check out the memes, why not check out the reviews too! :)

For Review:
A Gathering Light by Jennifer Donnelly
Revolution by Jennifer Donnelly
Two for review this week. Revolution is a book I've been excited about for quite a while now. I can't wait to get started on it. I also love the sound of A Gathering Light. I will be taking part in the blog tour for Revolution soon, so look out for that if you're interested in Jennifer Donnelly's books!

Single in the City by Michele Gorman
Fun chick-lit. A culture clash is on the cards when 26 year old Hannah moves from the US to London!

Good coming-of-age tale, but Lee Fiora is an acquired taste.

She quickly alienates a popular professor and loses the respect of police superiors.
When another politician is killed, Clare kicks herself into high gear. She forges friendships with students and makes inroads into the secret society.

ReplyDeleteGreat post. I just gor Halo in the mail from an ARC tour and I can't wait to read it, but I have heard really mixed reviews about it.
ReplyDeleteYou have some interesting reads this week - and I love how you've done your post this week. Can't wait to read your review of Revolution. Am also dying to read that one! Happy reading as always. xx
ReplyDeleteI'm currently reading Revolution, and it is great, so far. Hope you enjoy!
ReplyDeleteGreat books! I really liked Revolution I hope you enjoy them all! =)
ReplyDeleteYou had a good reading week and you have some interesting books in your future. I didn't love Halo either but I kept telling myself that the author was only 16 or 17 when she wrote it. My Monday Report is here. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI have Halo out from the library and I tried to get into it, but I didn't get much further than the first chapter and after reading your review I don't know how much more of an effort I should really make! I wasn't feeling much of a connection to Bethany (at least not from the get-go), and if she's worse than Bella Swan...wow. I can see how that would be irritating. Thanks for the honest review though :)
ReplyDeleteIt's always disappointing when books don't live up to their great covers. Hope you have better luck with your next round of books!
ReplyDeleteI've been wanting to read Revolution for a while now. I hope you enjoy it!
