Letterbox Love (21) Book Bloggers Went a Book Buying!


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

So this week I got kidnapped up to Bakewell for bookish shenanigans with Rach and Ellie *waves*, and when book lovers get together we buy books! I had a lovely day visiting Ellie's bookshop, eating some delicious chocolate crackle in the office, talking books and everything else under the sun and painting Bakewell red nerd style! Raiding the charity shops and discount book shops, we know how to roll people! So of course I got a few bookish goodies that I'll share in this post but first let's get on to review books!

 For Review

 
Geek Girl by Holly Smale - This sounds like such a Jess book!
Girl of Nightmares by Kendare Blake - Excited to read this sequel to Anna Dressed in Blood.
The Hit by Melvin Burgess (Proof Copy)- This has such an incredible premise, sounds a little like the movie Limitless.
Between the Lines by Tammara Webber - Loved Easy so I'm excited to read this one.
Barely Breathing by Rebecca Donovan - I still need to read the first book but I'm glad to have the sequel on hand!

 Pre-Orders


Pivot Point by Kasie West - This sounds incredible! I wish I could see the outcome of my choices. Plus I've heard amazing things about it. One of my most anticipated books of the year!
Sever by Lauren DeStefano - The last book! *Le sob*

 Bargain Books From Bakewell


Graveminder by Melissa Marr - £2 bargain couldn't resist!
The Book of Summers by Emylia Hall - I've wanted to read this one for such a long time so when I saw it in Ellie's shop I snatched this baby right up!
Pear Shaped by Stella Newman - Another £2 clearance bargain, I've heard good things about this and it's a foodie chick-lit - my favourite kind!
I Heart Vegas by Lindsey Kelk - So I haven't actually started this series yet BUT I have the first 3 books so when I noticed this was £2 I figured why not you know? I'll really have to get on to this series soon.

 Bookish Goodies!


Yeah, yeah, I got yet MORE bookmarks, I just can't help myself, I have a problem. I also got this lovely book journal I've had my old one for 5 years now and it's kinda falling apart and I fell in love with this one and it was the last one Ellie had in stock so I bought it with a generous discount from Miss Ellie ;). I also got some Geek Girl swag along with my copy and I've proudly attached the pin to my book bag along with my Nerdfighter pin, Mockingjay pin, and Time Turner Keyring. Coolest. Book Bag. EVER! 

E-Books For Review

Someday, Someday, Maybe by Lauren Graham - Gilmore Girl love! 
The Eternity Cure by Julie Kagawa - EXCITEMENT OVERLOAD! 
Mila 2.0 by Debra Driza 
 The Disgrace of Kitty Grey by Mary Hooper

Wild Awake by Hilary T. Smith - This sounds like another Jess book

 That’s it from me for another week! If any of these books have caught your eye and you’d like to find out more about them simply click on the title and the link will take you to Goodreads for a full synopsis, reviews, and to add them to your wishlists. As always thank you to the lovely publishing folk for the review copies. If you’re looking forward to a certain book in particular and want to request a review feel free to in the comments and I’ll do my best to get around to the book sooner rather than later. And if you decided to do a Letterbox Love, Book Haul, IMM, Showcase Sunday, 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! ^_^ 

 Happy reading till next time!

  2. I was lucky enough to read Geek Girl last year and absolutely loved it. I really hope you do too! Isn't the badge just wonderful?! I wear mine everywhere and have given a few to my friends to wear as well.
    The journal is so pretty! I haven't had my current one long but it's so worn and tattered and I've nearly used it up.I'll have to look out for one as nice as yours.
    I got Wither from the library earlier and am really looking forward to reading the trilogy. Happy reading! :)

  5. I've pre-ordered The Hit, I'm a bit of a Burgess fan and the premise sounds SO AWESOME. Looking forward to seeing what you think of the new Webber, and I'm VERY curious about Lauren Graham's novel, of course! I actually pre-ordered that one too, then felt guilty and cancelled it, so now I'm even more intrigued to find out what it's like! Think I might *cough* pop back to that new little bookshop for a second look this week, it was just so much better than I expected in there! ALL THE BOOKS! :D

    1. Oooh! I've only read Junk by him and thoroughly enjoyed it! The Hit sounds amazeballs so hopefully we'll both love it :) I'll let you know about the Lauren Graham I'm kind of anxious to read it because I love her so much and don't want it to suck. JEALOUS! Now I'm home there are a couple of others I wished I'd picked up, darn being good!
