Letterbox Love is a weekly feature that is hosted by Lynsey at Narratively Speaking and basically, the idea came out of a discussion with other UK book bloggers about the need to do a weekly meme with more of a British feel to it. Therefore, Letterbox Love was born and the logo was lovingly designed by Dark Readers. Letterbox Love is a way for us to share the books that come through our letterbox, galleys and e-books (through our electronic letterbox) and any other bookish goodies that we want to tell you about.
So I have been a little absent lately with just reviews I’d pre-scheduled going up and thats about it. I’m really sorry about that! I thought I’d jump back in with a quick update about the books I got for Christmas and have received since and then I’ll be back next week hopefully with some book news, a guest post from an American author and some more reviews! Hope everyone had a great Christmas and Happy New Year!
For Review:
This was an unsolicited review copy from Bloomsbury and I have to say I am intrigued. I hadn’t heard anything about it until it turned up yesterday but I have enjoyed one of the authors previous books. Haunting Violet was amazing but I didn’t enjoy Stolen Away as much so this could be hit or miss for me. Its a new series and its set in Regency London though so hopefully I will enjoy it. Thanks to Bloomsbury for sending it out!
Gifted:
My sister got me this awesome picture book for Christmas and I sat and read it when it arrived. I laughed so much, its all about different dinosaurs pulling Santa’s sleigh in the times before reindeer and I would definitely recommend it if you have a little one who is obsessed with dinosaurs!
I have wanted to read this series for so long and finally I can! Again this was a gift from my sister and I was given it with a warning of ‘I’m borrowing that from you when you’re done with it!’ haha. I am very excited for it!
My darling Mr bought my this as part of my Christmas pressie and I can’t wait to jump in. It’s collection of the ebooks that came out in the months following the Dr Who anniversary, now in print and I am so happy because I don’t read ebooks. Thanks Mr for this!
Borrowed:
This one has been borrowed from my sister, it sounds interesting and no doubt you will hear more about it in my review when I finally get round to reading it. K read it and told me a little about it on the phone but other than that I know nothing, it is by the same author of The Book of Blood and Shadow though which is meant to be amazing so lets hope so!
