In My Mailbox 15

In My Mailbox is a meme started by The Story Siren, where bloggers post any new books they bought, received, borrowed, etc.

I've missed quite a few weeks of IMM, and books have come and gone from my shelves in that time. Here's what's currently on my shelf:

A whole slew of Nora Roberts books: 
Key of Light

Blood Brothers

The Pagan Stone

Dangerous

Carnal Innocence

Western Skies 

This one I got after watching the movie. My friend's been trying to get me to read it for quite some time now, and after seeing the movie, I had no choice - I must read this. I'm not sure I'll be reviewing this one, but my 13-year-old sister already read it and we've had some interesting conversations about it:

The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, John Boyne

The first book I read by Patricia A. McKillip was The Alphabet of Thorn, and I absolutely loved it. I also read The Forgotten Beasts of Eld, which I loved as well. So now I've got

The Bards of Bone Plain.

And I don't know where my head was buried that I didn't hear of the Wicked Lovely series before, but now that I've been reading about the fifth and final book of the series, I'm finally starting with the first one. Apparently it's a "fun, edgy series about faeries," and I like fun, and I like edgy, and I like faeries, so what's not to like? Besides, I visited Melisa Marr's website, and I love her style. So now I've got:

Wicked Lovely

Ink Exchange

Fragile Eternity

Radiant Shadows
by Melissa Marr

I also got one book from NetGalley today that I've been trying to get for a while. When I got the email saying I finally got it, I was so excited I opened it and started reading right away, and I could tell right away why there's such a big to-do about this. It starts off in a classroom, but the heroine's voice is so engaging that even though nothing much is happening, I felt in the story already!

Angelfire, Courtney Allison Moulton

And I want to mention books that have been returned to the library already, but which I've read and want to have a record of. I've reviewed some of them already, but here are the ones that stayed with me:

Troubled Waters, Sharon Shinn

The Dream-Maker's Magic, Sharon Shinn

Remember Me? Sophie Kinsella

The Blue Sword, Robin McKinley

The Hero and the Crown, Robin McKinley

Vanished, Meg Cabot

Matched, Ally Condie

(This is upsetting, but after I got images for ALL these books, something went wrong and they started showing up as words, not images. So I deleted them. Ah, well.)
