Mailbox Monday hosted by the Printing Page!
I didn’t do a Mailbox Monday last week, so this is two weeks of goodies. I actually think I behaved myself quite well.
I read my first Ann Aguirre book, Blue Diablo recently and LOVED it. I then won Grimspace from the lovely Anna from Anna’s Book Blog. I haven’t read it yet, but I couldn’t let Wanderlust sit on the shelves by itself. I plan to get to them soon.
I’ve heard good things about this series due to Life After Jane’s review. Plus it has an awesome cover and Walmart had it for an excellent price. I have been reading more YA lately and really enjoying them.
Just finished this book and will get my thoughts up later this week. It was the first time I had pre-ordered a book on my Kindle. When I woke up Tuesday morning it was there waiting for me. This made me very excited…I don’t need much ;).
I decided to try this series because of Amy’s review of the series at Romance Book Wyrm. Received it from the very addictive Paperback Swap.
Look! I am going to read a contemporary. Thanks for all the suggestions that were given, I picked Just the Sexiest Man Alive by Julie James to break into the contemporary genre. I have heard great things about this book and will start it tonight. (Verra nice stubble on the cover by the way).

I won this very smexy book from Maya Banks on Twitter last week. I love this cover. I had it propped up next to my computer screen for awhile so I could stare at him while I typed. The slobber became a bit excessive so I had to put him back in the tbr pile. I have never read Maya Banks and can’t wait to start this one.

Speaking of Amy, she very generously mailed me the books 2-6 of the Midnight Breed series by Lara Adrian. I already have the first on my Kindle. I can not wait to start this series and many, many thanks go to Amy for all the books!!
Either today or tomorrow we should get the June teaser from Karen Marie Moning and Dreamfever. She likes to torture us and make us wait until the last day of the month to get our fix.
I also heard that Karen Marie Moning is on the cover of the August issue of Romantic Times magazine and there is a deleted scene from Dreamfever featuring Dani’s POV. Karen Marie Moning has said part of the book will be in Barron’s point of view *covers mouth to muffle screaming* but I had no idea we were going to get other characters POV. This makes me very excited. If someone has this article, I would love to hear if there are any good information in it.
That’s all I have. It’s Monday, laundry to do, house to clean. I can’t believe this coming weekend is July 4th already!! Have a great Monday!
I have the first Lara Adrian on my kindle too (freebie). I haven't read anything by her so I'm looking forward to seeing what it's all about.
Enjoy all your books!
I really need to read Blue Diablo. I have it, but books for review are killing me!
Can't wait to hear what you think of JTSMA :)
Oh I neeeed that dreamfever teaser badly!! I haven't read the RT interview yet, waiting for it to come accross the pond!!
JZB POV is going to be awesome!! Plus living in Dublin, I'm intrigued to see what has become of my fair city in the aftermath…..
Mandi,
I am a subscriber to the RT magazine *fanning myself* right now…again…I went berserk upon hearing it the first time! The Fever series I one of those highlights in yearly releases.
Another one of my favorites is Elizabeth Vaughan…you have Keir and Xylara to meet!!! I can't wait what you think of them and the Breed series by Lora Leigh, you're going to o.d yourself on a; smexy men and b; of the chart romance, action and overall stories.
I'm looking forward to you ranting and raving ;D
Mary – Yeah, I got it free on my Kindle too. I hear they are similar to BDB..not sure if that is a good thing or not
Stacy – BD was very good:) I am looking forward to starting Julie James:)
Amanda – I just had a cousin leave for Ireland and I told her to watch out for the bad fey. She probably thinks I've lost my mind ;)
Leontine – So glad we share a KMM obesession:)
I think Warprize might be next for me.
LMAO well according to the book, where I live is on the edge of the dark zone and one night I jokingly said to a friend I couldn't go to her house….. what if the shades got me!? and I got a very blank stare I should have made sure she read them first LOL
Good week :D
I am really curious about mark of the demon, so will look forward to your review.
LOL..I'm not the only crazy one:) Yes..can't let those shades get you! I really need Aug 18th to get here so I have my fix for a bit. I want to reread FF again too…
Blodeuedd – I am going to post it Thursday. Donna @ http://fantasydreamersramblings.blogspot.com/ has a great review of it up.
I think I have Just the Sexiest Man Alive sitting around here somewhere unread too. Will be interested to see how you like it.
Hey! I havent read anything by Julie James but this book did catch my eye. Its in my TBR pile so you gotta let me know what you think!
Ooooh Warprize is sooooooo gooooood!!! That is one of my favorite series! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
I have RT, but I haven't read the Dreamfever article yet. I didn't even realize that there was a deleted scene – so cool!
Thanks for the heads up about these books. They all sound so good and I have added them to my TBR list.
JOYE

I need to do a whole series reread….. I haven't reread FF yet I had issues with the ending but i'll read it before I get DmF
Hey Mandi,
I really need to read the first fever book. I have it! That's a start, eh?
And I am sooo glad to see you picked up Warprize! I think it's just a wonderful trilogy. Lara and Keir are awesome together. All three books go back to back together to completely finish the story arc. Loved it!
ANd you are very welcome for the books! I'm sure you are going to love them.
Very nice. Happy Reading. :)

Hey Mandi!
Wow, I really need to get on the ball with KMM's Fever series. And I did see the new issue of RT magazine on their website and KMM looks beautiful.
Happy Reading,
VFG
Hey Mandi!!! What a wonderful mailbox!!! I especially love the Maya Banks book cover!!! I would have that one propped up on my computer too!!!!
Well… really looking to see your thoughts on these "thought provoking" books!!!
Excellent selection of books!
I also got Julie James' book this weekend, courtesy of Lori, and I picked up the Diana Rowland over at Borders!
You're in for a treat with the Jax series and Warprize.
I still haven't read the last in the Fever series, so I need to get a move on! lol I LOVE Barron! Getting his pov sounds awesome!
I've read three of those books. One I loved, one I didn't like, and one I didn't finish.
Hi Mandi!
Wow, I want to read Warprize too. Amy made it sound so good.
I am live a KMM freak, I'm counting down the days!
Dottie :)
Nice variety in the mailbox this week.
I really, really need to read KMM Fae series, don't I?
I started reading City of Bones, but it didn't hold my interest. Figured it was just the mood I was in at the time. Plan on going back and trying it again at a later date.
Thanks for mentioning my review of Mark of the Demon. (^_^)
Kristen and Monroe – halfway through..so far, so good:)
Jill – Cool! Can't wait to start it.\
Amanda – Yeah, the ending was rough. Can't believe all of that happens to Mac!!
Amy – Yes..read it! Thanks again for the books and good rec's.
Michelle and VFG – Happy reading to you too ;)
Cecile – Verra hot cover :)
Renee – cool books! Finish fever so we can talk about it! :)
Heidenkind – LOL..oooh..a puzzle. I bet I can guess the one you didn't finish! ;)
Dottie – Yay, another obsessed fever person!
Donna – I have heard good and bad about Bones – we shall see.
Everyone talks about Ann Aguire's books, and I have yet to buy one! Even though she did comment over on my blog last month (I was shocked!).
Honestly, I'm not a fan of full-out fantasy — is she comparable to Mercedes Lackey or something of that calliber?
Amy – I don't know what kind of books Merecedes Lacky writes, but Blue Diablo is more Urban Fantasy…like Mercy Thompson. Corinne, the heroine in Blue Diablo can pick up an object and see who has touched it in the past. Her friend's mother has disappeared so she sets off to help him find her. It is set in the "real world" but some people have magic and there are nasty demons out to get ya:)
I have Warprize sitting on my shelf too, I really need to bump it up but I still have to finish the demonica series and the breed series, so I'll be looking forward to hearing your thoughts.
