In My Mailbox (#33)

In My Mailbox is hosted by Kristi, The Story Siren, you probably already know that but if you don't, go here and find out more!!


I know, I know, I'm meant to be on a book buying ban... however... I went to see my parents last weekend and he gave me some money for helping him out with some stuff a few months ago. He handed me the money and said "this is for books and only books, nothing else OK?" well, who am I to refuse that order!

Bought: 
I'm so impressed that I got so much for the money my dad gave me. There's actually another book still to come but its from the Amazon marketplace and is taking a while. These all sound amazing and after reading reviews for Five Flavors of Dumb on Ashley's blog, Books From Bleh to Basically Amazing, and I wanna be your Joey Rammone on Laura (Sisterspooky) and Clovers (Fluttering Butterflies) blogs I knew I needed to read them! Trouble is I have so many awesome books now I dont know where to start! 

For Review: 
Thank you to the lovely Tina at Abrams and Chronicle for this one! it sounds so good and that cover had me sold from the second I saw it!

I'm in love with every single one of those covers, Raimy!
I love the Dancing Jax one (is that in the right hand corner, yes?)
And you're right, The Storyteller looks great :-D

Hope you enjoy these, my love!

The Storyteller's cover is so pretty!

I read Teenage Amnesiac a few years ago and really enjoyed it, hope you do too :)

Haha well you were only doing what you were told to.

omg, I am officially jealous! Five Flavors of Dumb by Antony John and
I Wanna Be Your Joey Ramone by Stephanie Kuehnert <3 They both look so lovely. I read Ballads a while back and was just blown away. I hear Ramone is even better and have been interested ever since. Hope you love them. :)
