In My Mailbox (2)

Thanks to Kristi at The Story Siren for hosting In My Mailbox every week.

Christmas Presents:
(I got a couple more books as a Christmas from a friend who I've not seen since before Christmas)
Simon Tolfield's book of cartoons based on his series of Simon's Cat videos on You Tube
Jen Yates' book Cake Wrecks based on her famous website
These are both great books for flicking though & if you haven't heard of either of them before I really recommend checking out both of the webistes above.

Books Purchased:
Lili St.Crow - Strange Angels & Betrayals
Nancy Holder & Debbie Viguie - Wicked Volume 1 (Witch & Curse)
Becca Fitzpatrick - Hush, Hush

I've heard good things about all of these books but I'm particularly looking forward to reading Hush, Hush.  I just have such a massive to-read pile at the moment but I'm going to try to get to that one quite quickly!

  2. I bought Hush, Hush too! And I am very excited to MAKE time to read this one! My big thing is MyPileofBooks is much to big for me to read them all, but there are some I just have to fit in!

  3. Hmm. I haven't read so many reviews of Strange Angels but I kinda like the title and the cover... And I was thinking if I should read it. Hmm. Hush, Hush is awesome. Read it. Enjoy it. Love it.

  4. Cute christmas books! And Hush Hush and Strange Angels were both pretty good. I think the shaky effect on the picture of Strange Angels/Betrayals is because of the camera (?), but it looks pretty cool, lol. Happy reading! :D

  5. Thanks for dropping by everyone :o)

    I'm glad to hear more positive comments about Hush, Hush & Strange Angels.

    Aubrey I have exactly the same problem with my to-read pile. At the rate I buy books sometimes I wonder if I'll ever get them all finished lol

    Ralia I've seen some good reviews of Strange Angels & the 2 books were on sale so I couldn't resist them. I'll post reviews as soon as I've read them :o)

    Jenn I think you're right about the picture. It was taken at about 3am so I'll put my shaking hands down to lack of sleep lol
