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 #24

14 Apr 2012


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.


Allegiance by Cayla Kluver
I haven't read Legacy yet, but I've heard it's really good! I'll be reading this once I get hold of a copy of Legacy!
The Immortal Rules by Julie Kagawa
O.M.G I literally squealed and jumped around like a madwoman when I found this in the package from Harlequin Teen! The lovely people at Harlequin Teen ARE THE BEST <3
Temptation by Karen Ann Hopkins 
Anddd...in addition to the amazing books above, Harlequin also sent along an ARC of Temptation! (releases in July) It's an Amish romance & apparently it's brilliant!<3 Can't wait to read this :)


Unravelling by Elizabeth Norris
WOW. I died a little when I received this! Unravelling has got to be one of my most anticipated 2012 releases!<3 Will be reading this VERY SOON.
Starters by Lissa Price
This came 2 weeks ago & I'll be reading it like..in the next day or so :) I've heard mixed reviews about this, but I'm still looking forward to it :D
Storm by Brigid Kemmerer
I LOVEEEEEE the Aussie cover of Storm<3 Chris looks SO HOT here :) hahaa


Drive by by Jim Carrington
This one came as a complete surprise; it sounds like a fun read though! 
Night Beach by Kirsty Eager
Oooohh, the cover looks CREEPY. I'll definitely be reading this in broad daylight (I probably won't get much sleep if i read it at night!)
Winter's Light by M.J Hearle
Aussie YA books are AMAZING. Can't wait to get started on this :)

An enormous thank you to Harlequin Teen (seriously, I LOVE YOU GUYS <3), Harper Collins, Random House, Allen & Unwin, Bloomsbury, Penguin & Pan Macmillan for the above awesomeness<3

What did you receive in your mailbox? :D

  1. I loved The Immortal Rules! And you've even got Starters! Yeah, I've heard mixed reviews on it, too, but I still want to read it. I think you're lucky to get Unraveling as well...

    Awesome haul this week!

  7. Yay for Unravelling! I loved that book and can't wait for you to get stuck into it. :D And I've never seen that cover of Storm before! I prefer the US one but I like that one too. So many awesome books for you this week, Shirley! I hope you enjoy reading them all. :)

  8. I wasn't a big fan of Legacy and yet I found myself addicted, and I feel like Allegiance was definitely an improvement. A ton of people seem to be really eager to read Temptation, and for some reason I'm not one of those people. BUT I AM IN LOVE WITH THE COVER, yo. I really want to begin reading Storm, and Lissa Price's Starters is tempting me, despite the creeptastic factor I won't be brave enough for XD

    Have an amazing reading week!

  12. EEEEEEEEEEEK AMAZING MAILBOX BB. SO. FREAKING. JEALOUS. <3

    You got Unravelling! GAHHHH. Preordered that one for my birthday. Doesn't it sounds FREAKING amazing??!?!? And all the reviews are saying it's FABULOUS. GAH. I want my hands on it NOW dammit!

    Starters! That should be good. I think Braiden gave it 3.5/5? He almost gave it a 4 so it should be good. :) Some say the romance was a bit unrealistic, but hey! See how you find it. I hope to get it sometime too. <3

    WOW the covers for Allegiance and Legacy in Australia are SO DIFFERENT to the U.S. covers! WOWZA. Which do you like more? THE IMMORTAL RULES. GAH. Preordered that so I'm okay. Hmmm what's Temptation about? Amish romance? INTERESTING.

    *squee* STORM! GAHHH. We all know how amazing that is. NIGHT BEACH. Oh I need to buy some books by this author! I hope I can find some of her books in Big W and stuff. All the reviews say that they're FABULOUS. WINTER'S LIGHT! I neeed to read Winter's Shadow. :S GAH. I NEED TO BUY MORE AUSSIE BOOKS!

    Enjoy ze books!

  18. THE IMMORTAL RULES! SHIRLEY SHIRLEY SHIRLEY. DID YOU SEE YOU GOT A COPY??!?! *jumps on your bed* Squeeeee and STORM! Err, so you know I might have loved this. A little. A LOT. Aussie covers are definitely my favourite! And ooooooh UNRAVELLING. Dying to read that, everyone is ravinng about it. And Starters looks super good. Winter's Light is AWESOME. If you loved the first, you'll love this even more.

    Uh... Shirley? Did you know your mailbox is expoding from the EPIC? ENJOY!!

  19. OH MY GOSH, SHIRLEY! Your mailbox is too awesome for words!!! The first thing I had to notice was that have Storm, of course, which has to make you THE luckiest girl on Earth! I'm seriously debating on moving to Australia because all of you guys in my Aussie family seem to be getting this first LOL! Do you think you guys have room for me there? I'd probably be hiding in the corner reading that book anyways, if that helps! Haha x)

    And The Immortal Rules! Temptation! UN-RAV-EL-ING!! <-- That book is seriously one of the most epically original books I've ever read, and I'm crossing my fingers that you love it too! <3

    AMAZING mailbox, Shirley! Just because I had to say it again :') <3 I hope you love them all!

  20. AWESOME IMM, Shirley! I FINALLY GOT THE IMMORTAL RULES TODAY! YAY! I'm going to be starting that book ASAP! <3 I just finished Winter's Light and it was really awesome! You have to read it soon! ENJOY YOUR BOOKS!
