Letterbox Love (5)


Letterbox Love is a new meme hosted by Lynsey @ Narratively Speaking for UK based book bloggers to showcase the books that they’ve received each week.

 Review Books


Taken by Storm by Jennifer Lynn Barnes I haven't read any books from this series yet but have heard that it's one of the best werewolf series out there! I do love my wolf stories so I'm looking forward to getting round to this series eventually.

Rapture by Lauren Kate SO excited to read this! I love this series and am intrigued to see how it's all going to end I've heard it's a weepy so I'm anxious to see what that's all about! Will be reading and reviewing this one soon.

Shattered Dreams by Ellie James This book has some mixed reviews but the premise sounds interesting so hopefully I'll enjoy it.

The Golden Lily by Richelle Mead I'm reading this now and LOVING it! Vampire Academy and Bloodlines are my very favourite series so this was always going to be a winner for me! Review will be coming soon.

Revived by Cat Patrick I loved this authors first novel Forgotten so I'm excited to read this one!


The Villa by Rosanna Ley (Proof Copy) This sounds like a good summer read which I'm hoping to get round to sometime this summer.

What I Did on My Holidays by Chrissie Manby This will be my next chick-lit read it sounds absolutely hilarious and I've been pining for it for months now!

Why We Broke Up by Daniel Handler and Maria Kalman I have heard AMAZING things about this book but had no idea we are publishing it in the UK so was very excited and surprised to get this copy, will be reading this one over the summer.

The Ninety Days Of Genevieve by Lucinda Carrington To be honest this one doesn't really sound like my kind of thing, but with the success of the Fifty Shades books I might dip my toe into erotic fiction and give it a try some time!

 Gift


Weird Things Customers Say in Bookshops by Jen Campbell This was a gift from my lovely friend Ellie at Musings of a Bookshop Girl I love reading her bookshop anecdotes of weird things customers say in her bookshop so I'm excited to read this one, plus she's actually got one of her stories in this book so I'll be looking out for that! This was one of those "just because" gifts because I'd been ill and she wanted to cheer me up, that's the kind of friend Ellie is, thank you shug!

So those were all of the wonderful books I was lucky enough to be sent this week. As always HUGE thank you's to the lovely publishing people who have sent me these brilliant new titles and to Ellie for my lovely surprise! If you’ve read or are looking forward to any of the books I got feel free to let me know what you thought about them or request reviews and such in the comments. And if you decided to do a Letterbox Love, Book Haul, IMM, Mailbox Monday or whatever else featuring the books you got this week leave me a link as I’d love to check out your books too! ^_^ I'm feeling very patriotic today what with it being the long Jubilee weekend and waving the flag for the Brits with Letterbox Love. I hope all of my fellow Brit readers make the most of the bank holiday and get lots of extra reading done! And for everyone outside the UK, happy reading till next time folks!

  1. I can't wait to get stuck in to The Golden Lily! It's rare that I see bloggers start reading a book they received ALL AT ONCE, but they did with this one! It'll be the next one I read.

  8. I work in a bookshop myself and seen the 'Weird Things Customers Say in Bookshops' - hilarious and some of them, although they seem a little far-fetched, they do happen.

    Once a lady asked if we sold milk which I sarcastically replied it was in the crime section. Her reaction: 'Oh do you have any semi-skinned?' Erm...
