Letterbox Love (28)



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


Wool and Shift by Hugh Howey
The reviews for this adult dystopian series have been extraordinary! And the publishers offered to send me this series after we were having a chat on Twitter about our favourite debuts of the year - this was one of the publicists favourites!
Siege and Storm by Leigh Bardugo
Beautiful finished copy of this as a thank you from the publisher for taking part in the blog tour. I was also thrilled to discover my review has been quoted inside! I have an amazing giveaway for this book and more in a Grisha goody pack on the blog right now click here to enter!
The Sound by Sarah Alderson
I love Sarah's books and I love myself a thriller so this one sounds right up my street!



*** My quote in Siege and Storm! ***



The Night Itself by Zoe Marriott (Proof Copy)
This is my current read and my first Zoe Marriott! Really enjoying this so far, it's like nothing I've ever read before! Loving the Japanese mythology!
Ink by Amanda Sun
Another book based on Japanese myth! I sense this could be a new hot trend in YA. This has a stunning cover and seems as I'm enjoying The Night Itself so much I can't wait to get stuck into this one.
Insignia and Vortex by S. J. Kincaid
I've heard amazing things about this series! Veronica Roth - author of Divergent is blurbed inside! I'm excited to see what all the fuss is about and jump on the bandwagon.


The Runaway Princess by Hester Browne
I'm in love with the cover for this book! It's so pretty and vintage looking. I hadn't heard of this when it arrived but after looking into it I'm very excited to give it a try!
Me and Mr Jones by Lucy Diamond
I read my first Lucy Diamond last summer and really enjoyed it so I'm looking forward to another summery read from her!
Oh Dear Silvia by Dawn French
I love Dawn French and have wanted to try one of her books for a while now so when the publishers offered me a copy for review I snatched it up!
Brooklyn Girls by Gemma Burgess
I've heard good things for this New Adult book. I have to say I'm not crazy about our UK paperback cover change though and the text inside is tiny which is always off putting for me. I guess I'll give it a go and if I'm not getting on with the font and am enjoying it I'll buy it on Kindle. It'd be a shame not to read it because it sounds pretty good!

 On My Kindle 
Time After Time by Tamara Ireland Stone 
Faking It by Cora Carmack 
Never Fade by Alexandra Bracken 
Crown of Midnight by Sarah J. Maas 

This weeks e-book haul is full of sequels I am desperate to read! The only one I haven't read yet is Losing It so I'll have to get to that soon so then I can read Faking It!

These are all of the lovely new books that found themselves a new home on my shelves over the past few weeks. 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. Oooh, read The Runaway Princess soon! It's been on my wishlist for ages but I barely know anything about it - I just know I liked the premise when I heard about it somewhere... A review from you would go a long way towards deciding whether it stays or goes! :)
