Letterbox Love (20) J-Scribble, Hanklerfish, Belated Birthday Gifts and More!


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.

This time last weekend I was on a train to London to meet John and Hank Green. That sentence right there still feels crazy to me. I'm not going to go into all of that here though because I plan to do a write up on the event very soon, but this weeks book haul is extra special as it's full of signed books, the last incoming of my birthday books, and some books that I bought from Foyles - a bookshop I've always wanted to visit and finally did as well as the usual review copies. So here are the goodies from the last two weeks and if you're interested in the event write up I'm hoping to have that up for you next week so stay tuned!

 For Review


Perfect Scoundrels by Ally Carter - I read this on the train and loved it!
Fractured by Teri Terry
A Witch Alone by Ruth Warburton


This Is What Happy Looks Like by Jennifer E. Smith (Proof Copy, I did a little jig of happiness when this arrived!)
Burn for Burn by Jenny Han and Siobhan Vivian - Another one I can't wait to read
Boy Nobody by Allen Zadoff (Proof Copy)
Born Wicked by Jessica Spotswood


 Bought From Foyles


Warm Bodies by Isaac Marion - Currently reading and LOVING this!
Dead Romantic by C.J. Skuse - SO excited, I love C.J and can't wait to read this also my bestie is quoted in the back! You should watch her video about this and also subscribe to her on Youtube because she is awesome.
The Name of the Star by Maureen Johnson - I had a proof copy of this but after seeing her at the TFIOS event and noticing that this is signed I just had to get it especially because she wasn't available to sign books and I wanted a Maureen scribble!

 Last of the Birthday Presents


The Fault in Our Stars by John Green - I've already read the hardback US edition of this but the UK paperback was free at the event and seems as the bestie bought my ticket for my birthday I'm counting this as a gift.
Let It Snow by John Green, Maureen Johnson and Lauren Myracle - This was the only John Green book I didn't own so was another nerdfightastic gift from Rach, I'm so happy to now have them all!
The Darkest Minds by Alexandra Bracken - This sounds AMAZE
Splintered by A. G. Howard - I've heard mixed things about this one but I love the sound of it so I'm going to give it a go, plus the actual book itself is stunning and the ink is purple!
