Shiirleyy's Bookshelf has migrated to Dear Shirley ! I will continue to post book reviews but there will also be a lot of personal and travel-related posts :)

In My Mailbox #17

18 Dec 2011

In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by The Story Siren, which allows bloggers to share what books they've borrowed, received in the mail or bought in the past week.


Melody Burning by Whitney Strieber (Thank you Allen & Unwin!)
This actually has er...low ratings on goodreads, but the blurb immediately caught my interest! There's also apparently insta-love? Ahh..well..we're see how this goes..

The Future of Us by Jay Asher, Carolyn Mackler (Thank you Simon & Schuster Australia!)
I can't wait to read this one! It'd be interesting to read about what people back in the 1990s, thought of internet, and *gasp* FACEBOOK!

Half-Blood by Jennifer L. Armentrout 
oohhhhh I'll definitely have to start this one soon! Several blogger friends have said this is very similar to VA series! I have no idea if that's a good thing or not...BUT I'm excited to read this!

Jessica Rules the Dark Side will be out next year (Jan I think?). So, now's the perfect time to start this!

If I Stay by Gayle Forman 
Confession time: I'm not a fan of contemporary YA novels. I'm more of a paranormal/fantasy girl. BUT this has receieved rave reviews & recognition around the blogosphere, and I feel like I should try it!

Where She Went by Gayle Forman
Hopefully I'll like If I Stay enough to read Where She Went! Apparently this one's even better than the first?

Delirium by Lauren Oliver
Pandenomium's coming out soon! I feel like I'm the only person who hasn't read this one yet! Definitely looking forward to it!

Destiny's Fire by Trisha Wolfe (Thank you Omnific Publishing!)
I'm participating in the blog tour for this early next year! So, look out for my tour stop :P

Ripper by Amy Carol Reeves (Thank you Netgally/Flux!)
ooohhh Jack the Ripper!!! I'm officially on the lookout for more books on this mysterious case! This one's actually set in 1888! Should be interesting...



Seraphina by Rachel Hartman (Thank you Netgalley/Random House!)
DRAGONS!!!! Need I say more? Definitely excited to read this!

The Night She Disappeared by April Henry 
ooohhh I sense murder mystery! Hmm...I probably shouldn't read this at night - the cover's enough to freak me out!

What did you receive in your mailbox?

  3. Looks like you got some totally fabulous stuff! I have Delirium and The Future Of Us on my shelf and need to get to them. I want to buy and read If I Stay / Where She Went (I like contemporary) and my blog is a stop for the Destiny's Fire tour, too. That book looks very promising. Glad to see that you had such a fantastic week. I hope the next one is just as good. :)

  4. Hi Shirley! Thanks for stopping by at my blog! :)
    I have Seraphina, too! But I didn't know that it has a cover! Looks amazing - I need to start reading it. I haven't read Delirium, If I Stay and The Future of Us but I've heard amazing things about them. I hope you like them! I've read Half-Blood and loved it! Hope you do, too! Happy reading!

  7. Delirium is AMAZING!!! Lauren Oliver has an amazing way with words <3 I so hope you love it. I guess it's a good thing you waited closer to Pandeominum's release, because it ends on a agghhhh cliffhanger! And I loved Jessica's Guide!

    Super excited to see what TFOU and Melody Burning are like :D I grabbed Seraphina off NG awhile back too, just need to find time to read off the comp.... or get an ereader!

    Happy reading, Shiiiiirley!

  15. Nice haul! I still have to pick up Delirium as well! And Melody Burning looks really good I'm curious to see your review on it! And you're not the only one who hasn't read Wither - I haven't either. I did't actually request Fever so I was a bit surprised. Now I hope I don't have Wither o_O

  19. Thanks for stopping by my blog:

    I don't come across many aussie book bloggers.. but then I am still new to book blogging, so what would I know? lol

    Delirium was great. :D I had originally bought that book cover, and then when they re-released the book in the other cover, the smaller book.. I sold mine and rebought it, since I know book 2 will be like the re-released one, and not like the larger format one.. and I have this thing where I need everything to be the same. LOL

    I'm not a big fan of Contemporary either, so if there are books I am unsure of I just put them on my e-reader. So I have If I stay and along with The Future of Us on my e-reader (mostly in this case because I haven't read any of Jay's work, so I am not sure if its gonna be something I will love)
