In My Mailbox is a weekly feature hosted by the wonderful
The Story Siren where we get to drool with one another over the awesome books that came in the post this week!
A HUUUUGE thank you to my amazing Psychotic Sidekick, Sarah from
saz101 for the gorgeous copy of
Fire! There was glitter involved. And
lots of stamps. And maybe vegan chocolate, but some greedy person devoured it already *subtly licks sticky brown substance from face* I loved Graceling, so I'm super excited to see what Fire is like, especially since Sarah says she likes this even better than the first! THANK YOU, LOVELY! It was her
birthday last Thursday, so you should all go
follow her as a belated present :)
Before I started reading, I thought the US cover fit the idea of
Revived better than the Australian (shown above), but 3/4 way through and the Aussie fits the feel of the story more. The book isn't quite what I was expecting, but I am liking it!
Choker is super short, so hopefully I can squeeze it in soon. I've heard it's got a really creepy vibe? Brodie intrigued!
What's in your mailbox this week?
Nice books :) Fire looks like a good read!
ReplyDeleteHappy reading!
Steph: Short & Sweet
Ooooooooh... the new Cat Patrick book.
ReplyDeleteOn an envy scale of 1 to 10 - adfter reading Forgotten, I'd say pretty close to a 10.
Oh my gosh, I LOVE Forgotten! One of my favourite reads from 2011!! So uh, I may have been a little squeeful when Revived arrived :D
DeleteAhhhh awesome books! Oh lordy lord, that's the book that came in that parcel with a CRAZY amount of stamps. Like, Molly Weasley style, yes? ;) HAHA! We gotta love Sarah.
ReplyDeleteI neeeed to read something by Cat Patrick. Forgotten looks soooooo good and Revived looks amazing. YOU'RE MAKING ME JEALOUS WOMAN. I hope you get around to reading Choker - I'm intruged!
AWESOME IMM. <3
Fire is amazing! I can't wait for Bitterblue. I also got Choker. Sounds interesting.

ReplyDeleteWow i'd never seen that version of the cover of fire! But I like it more than the other. It's so pretty and forbidden-looking for some reason. Great haul!
ReplyDeleteShae @ Understanding Shae's Story
Awesome haul, Brodie! I have Graceling, which I bought years ago, but still haven't got around to reading it yet. Whoops! But all those stamps! I'm a bit of a geek and collect stamps, so if I had received that parcel, I would have been super happy! Haha! I SO want to read Revived! Forgotten was AWESOME, and Revived just sounds brilliant! I have Choker on my TBR pile, it sounds really good! I'm looking forward to trying it! Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteOH MY GOD. Brodieeeeeee! Your IMMs are way to awesome, LOL. I want to read all of these SO badly, I can't even describe it! And aww on Sarah, that's so sweet of her! But I knew she was awesome. *nods* Can't wait to hear what you think of them all!! So glad your liking Revived. o:
ReplyDeleteWHAT. THE. WHAT?!? It was Sarah's birthday last week? No one told me *cries* I'm happy for your copy of Fire and Revived and all, but I'm so depressed. I just tweeted you. You will tell me your birthday.
ReplyDelete— Asher
REVIVED! Oh my gosh, YAY for the new Cat Patrick book! <3 Forgotten was so sweet and original and different and awesome, so I'm glad that you're enjoying her newest book! I actually really like that cover too -- it's so pretty in a completely different way than the US one! :) And eeeeeeeeeeeep for Fire! Loved that book so much!!! Read it quickly so you can be as excited for Bitterblue as the rest of us! ;)
ReplyDeleteAmazing mailbox, Brodie! <3

ReplyDeleteENJOY Brodie!<3
Sarah is fantastic! Hooray for packages involving glitter and vegan choccies!
ReplyDeleteI wasnt't sure if I'd read Revived but I do really like the Aussie cover, I'll have to give it a go!
Lovely mailbox, Brodie! and I love that cover of Fire! It was a gorgeous read. Enjoy all your books! :)
ReplyDeleteMUAHAHAHA! I've seen that picture you tweeted of that beautiful envelope with so many stamps it feels like a package sent from Hogwarts! (OMG, I can't spell Hogwarts. Is it Hogwards? Or Hogwarts? FORGIVE ME for the mis-spelling!) but anyway SARAH is AMAZING! <3 I hope you enjoy Fire, Brodie! <3 I loved both Graceling and Fire! SO CAN'T WAIT FOR BITTERBLUE! I feel so bitter and blue right now waiting for this book, LOL.
ReplyDeleteAnd REVIVED! I LOVE THE AUSTRALIAN COVER! And yay! I'm glad that the cover fits the feel of the story more! Choker sounds good and I haven't heard of it before but I will definitely be reading your review first before starting it!
Awesome IMM this week! Always always one of the post I'm looking forward every week from dearest Brodie! <3
Happy reading and I hope you've had a lovely weekend! <3
WOMAN. HOLD UP. DOES THIS MEAN YOU HAVEN'T READ HARRY POTTER?!?! IT'S HOGWARTS BTW. D: D: D: D: D: D: D: And it was like a package sent from Mrs. Weasley. :P
Delete*cough* YES I haven't. I have read the first book though if that counts? :P And oh, package sent from Mrs. Weasley? I didn't know that! *runs away*
DeleteRevived looks good! Heard that Choker is a chilling read. You've got a great haul this week!
ReplyDeleteHere's my IMM for the week
Pretty, pretty cover of Revived. Absolutely love it. And Fire! I've been meaning to read it for ages, I need to get it before I start Bitterblue :P. Great books this week, happy reading! :)
ReplyDeleteYay! Right on Sarah, I loved Fire more than Graceling too! Can't wait to hear your thoughts Brodie =D
ReplyDeleteI also got Choker this week--not usually my kind of thing but we'll see if we can squeeze it into the reading pile one day.
Happy reading lovely! <3
Oh wow, I haven't heard of these titles before. Glad to have chanced upon your site. Do let me know how you find them. Enjoy your new reads this week!
ReplyDeleteHere's mine over at GatheringBooks: http://gatheringbooks.wordpress.com/2012/03/11/launch-of-girl-power-and-womens-wiles/
Awesome week love all those covers. All are new to me but I hope you enjoy them.
ReplyDeleteHi Brodie!! I can finally comment. LOL. Eeeep! Revived!!! *snatches your copy* I'm waiting for my copy. Hope it arrives soon. I'm getting antsy. I NEED it. I loved Forgotten so much that I just have to have THIS. And Choker? According to Kai, it's good! :) Hope you like them all!
ReplyDeleteI love the cover to Fire, it is so strong and intense.
ReplyDeleteHappy Reading

AWESOME WEEK! Fire speaks for itself. Choker was great (the new cover is nice, although I can't decide which I like better). Be prepared for a serious mind-bend! And Revived!!!???!!! Lucky you! Can't wait to read it!
ReplyDeleteCheck out my IMM and GIVEAWAY!
LOL I was just about to make the Mrs. Weasley joke but I see that Alice beat me to it! :P AHHH, you meet the coolest people online... HARRY POTTER FTW <3 Ahem. Anyways. Fire sounds so amazing!! I am definitely itching to read it after Graceling, especially since I've heard people like it even more! EEEEEEE.
ReplyDeleteAnd Revived! I only just recently read the summary properly and I am SO INTRIGUED. Both it and Forgotten have like the coolest concepts so hopefully I get to read both of them in the near future! Revived should be on its way to me soon anyways... I can't wait to read it!
I remember reading reviews for Choked when it was released in the US/Canada and it DOES sound creepy :/ I can't wait to read your review for it!
HAPPY READING BRODIEEEEEEEEEEE! My sweet little Ravenclaw... eagle? LOL.
Sonia
EEEEEEEE! So glad you liked it, Broooodiieeeeeeee!
ReplyDeleteEEK! REVIVED!
Damn... I'm sorry it's not as fab as you hoped--I was really excited about Revived :/
Eek, and seriously? I LOVE the cover. LOVE. And it's going to match Forgotten all pretty-like!
Eeee! And Choker! It's short! I LIKE it! :D
Any time glitter and chocoalate are involved is a good time! Even vegan chocolate! :)
ReplyDeleteI think you meant to say "Especially vegan chocolate." Hehe! :D
Delete♥
Ooh, what did you think of Revived? I just finished it last week- I liked it, but not nearly a much as Forgotten... I had the feeling throughout the entire book that Mr. Love interest was going to turn on Daisy. He wasn't nearly as likeable as Luke, for me.
ReplyDeleteRomi.x
Awesome books, I've never seen these books but they look really good.
ReplyDeleteJaniera @This is From my Heart
Nice week! Hope you enjoy Choker, I liked it but it wasn't a favourite. Donna xoxox
