Letterbox Love was thought up over Twitter very recently by Kirsty, Laura, Carly, Lynsey, Emma and Leanne (if I’ve missed anyone involved out let me know and I’ll give credit where it’s due!) Basically Letterbox Love will be a new meme for UK based book bloggers to showcase the book’s that they’ve received each week. I love the name and the idea and figured it was about time we had something like this with other meme’s like In My Mailbox and Mailbox Monday sounding very American. As soon as I heard about it I knew it was a feature that I would love to take part in to help showcase UK books, publishers and British authors as well as books from the US. The linky and host and button for Letterbox Love is still under discussion as this is a really new idea, but I’m looking forward to the meme getting into full swing and wish the girls all the success in the world with it! I for one think it’s a brilliant idea and will be taking part when I can. Anyway now that all that need to be said stuff has been said let’s get on to what were all here for, the books!

Bought
Bitterblue by Kristin Cashore (AAAHHHH! *dies*)
So that’s everything that I got through my letterbox over the past two weeks! It’s been a very very awesome past two weeks for books and I’ve been very lucky to receive some of my most anticipated books of the year like Insurgent, Between the Lines, Bitterblue and Until I Die all in one go! My biggest dilemma is which of these awesome books to read next!? Big thank you’s to all of the lovely publishing people who have sent me review books and to my poor postman for lugging them all to me *looks sheepish* 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! ^_^
Happy reading for another week everyone!
Insurgent!! I can't wait for everyone's reviews to be released. Adorkable looks really good as well, can't wait to see your review of that

Me either! I'm itching to see what everybody thought. I plan to read it really soon I really enjoyed Sarra Manning's books as a teen so excited for her latest!
DeleteWe've got Insurgent too. I haven't read it yet but am looking forward to it. And I like the sound of Letterbox Love - looking forward to seeing how it develops.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your books!
I hope you enjoy it!
DeleteI'm so jealous that you have Poison Princess for review! Kresley Cole is my favourite author and I can't wait to see what she brings to YA. I've preordered both Insurgent and Adorkable, can't wait for them to arrive. Hope you enjoy all your new reads :)
ReplyDeleteAnd also, Letterbox Love is a great idea: all the other memes have seemed very American which is misrepresentative of the number of great bloggers from other countries, including the UK. Can't wait to see the button looks like.
ReplyDeleteI was lucky enough to win a US ARC from the UK publishers I've never read one of Kresley's books but have heard good things so excited to read her venture into YA! I hope you enjoy Insurgent and Adorkable :) and glad you like the idea of Letterbox Love!
DeleteOoh you got so many great books! Jealous of Deadly Hemlock, it looks awesome! And I can't wait to start Scarlet - I love retellings. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteAlso, thanks so much for your lovely comment on my new feature. Glad you like it :).
No problem it was fab and very fun to read! Happy reading to you too :)
DeleteI like the sound of Letterbox Love - looking forward to seeing how that pans out! And congrats on all the yummy new review books, you'll be spoilt for choice through May... :)
ReplyDeleteGlad you think so Ellie! And yes, yes I will! I have a feeling that May will be a very good reading month ;)
DeleteThank you for your lovely comment on my book haul. You got some fab books and I hope you enjoy them all :)
ReplyDeleteYour very welcome :-)
DeleteAhh. Just jealous of Insurgent <3 I am sooo looking forward to that landing on my doorstep in the next few days!!
ReplyDeleteAlso, Dying to Know You? I have this too and NEED to read it! I got Scarlet last week and am excited to read this one too. I LOVE anything Robin Hood-esque!
I've not yet read Die for Me but I clearly need to get on it, as Until I Die seems to be a huge hit!
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on your new books!
