Letterbox Love (23)


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.

 For Review

 
The Sea Sisters by Lucy Clarke (Proof Copy)
I hadn't heard of this one until the publisher got in touch but it sounds fantastic! Mystery, family, and travel - I'm really looking forward to getting around to it.
Dear Thing by Julie Cohen (Proof Copy)
This book sounds incredible and I'm so happy to have a proof copy! I think this'll be one of those hard-hitting, will make you think and weep buckets kind of books and I'm going to be reading this really soon.
Follow Me Down by Tanya Byrne (Proof Copy)
I did a little happy jig when I received this one this week! I adored Tanya's debut Heart-Shaped Bruise so I can't wait to read this!
The Madman's Daughter by Megan Shepherd
I'm so happy this is being published in the UK! I thought it sounded brilliant when it came out in the US so I'm really glad to have a copy. Will be reading this soon!
The Night She Disappeared by April Henry
This sounds pretty intriguing. When I'm in the mood for a good thriller I'll be reaching for this!
Don't Look Back by S.B. Hayes
To be honest I haven't heard anything about this book and don't really know what it's about so I'll be keeping my eye out for some reviews before picking this one up to see if it'll be my sort of thing.

 Bought

 
I decided to treat myself this week! I had a 10% off voucher for The Book Depository so I decided to use it while the offer lasted to some books that were at the top of my wishlist! I also had Clockwork Princess on pre-order from Amazon and have already read it. In a word it was phenomenal and I'm going to have a spoiler review/discussion of it going up on the blog next week. Needless to say I'm excited about all of these but Eleanor and Park and Let the Sky Fall in particular!

The Reece Malcolm List by Amy Spalding
Clockwork Princess by Cassandra Clare
Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell
The Murmurings by Carly Anne West 
Let the Sky Fall by Shannon Messenger
Dualed by Elsie Chapman

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 got The Madman's Daughter last week - it looks awesome. And I also got The Sea Sisters this week, but it's one of the books I'm saving for next week's haul. And I've got Let the Sky Fall ... I SERIOUSLY can't wait for that one - it looks AWESOME and I've been waiting for it since the summer!
    The Night She Disappeared sounds intriguing ... I've never heard of it before, but it's going straight on my wishlist ;)

  8. I love the sound of Eleanor and Park and have heard such good things about it.
    I'm also really jealous of the fact that you got Clockwork Princess. I've just finished Clockwork Prince and so really want to read it soon. I'm hoping that because lots of people enjoyed it, nothing bad happens so I'm trying to stay optimistic.
    Happy reading! :)

  14. I really enjoyed The Night She Disappeared, Jess. It was something that could actually happen and that made it even more creepy. The author said she based it on an actual event. *shivers*. I bought Clockwork Princess as well but I'm afraid to pick it up after the last book. Enjoy your reads. :)
