In My Mailbox (117)
In My Mailbox is hosted by Kristi @ The Story Siren
Review:
Pandemonium by Lauren Oliver
I have already read this and it is AWESOME! I really, really loved it and now can't wait to get my hands on Requiem!
Massive thanks to Hodder for sending this for review:D
Bought:
Reel Life Starring Us by Lisa Greenwald
I loved both of Lisa Greenwald's previous novels so I had to get this one. Looks really good!
Sweep Volume 2 by Cate Tiernan
Sweep Volume 3 by Cate Tiernan
Sweep Volume 4 by Cate Tiernan
I read the first few of these years ago when they were first published in the UK. I really love these US bind ups so I decided to get the whole set. Volume 5 is released in December and I couldn't resist pre-ordering that one too!
Anna Dressed in Blood by Kendare Blake
I love the sound of this! Plus the text is red - which is all kinds of awesome:D
Witch Eyes by Scott Tracey
I've heard some good things about this one - and it's by Flux and their titles are usually fab.
Hard Magic by Laura Anne Gilman
'A handpicked team trained to solve crimes the regular police can't touch - crimes of magic'. Er.. yes please!
English Fairy Tales and Legends by Rosalind Kerven
I couldn't resist this when I saw it come into the shop where I work (and I did try!)
Hope you all had a great week:)

I want to read that...
Partials by Dan Wells
From Goodreads: The human race is all but extinct after a war with Partials—engineered organic beings identical to humans—has decimated the population. Reduced to tens of thousands by RM, a weaponized virus to which only a fraction of humanity is immune, the survivors in North America have huddled together on Long Island while the Partials have mysteriously retreated. The threat of the Partials is still imminent, but worse, no baby has been born immune to RM in more than a decade. Our time is running out.
Kira, a sixteen-year-old medic in training, is on the front lines of this battle, seeing RM ravage the community while mandatory pregnancy laws threaten to launch what’s left of humanity into civil war, and she’s not content to stand by and watch. But as she makes a desperate decision to save the last of her race, she will discover that the survival of humans and Partials alike rests in her attempts to uncover the connections between them—connections that humanity has forgotten, or perhaps never even knew were there.
Dan Wells, acclaimed author of I Am Not a Serial Killer, takes readers on a pulse-pounding journey into a world where the very concept of what it means to be human is in question—one where our humanity is both our greatest liability and our only hope for survival.
I loved Mr Monster by Dan Wells so I am really looking forward to this one. It sounds AWESOME! It's published February 2012 (US) and March 2012 (UK)

Priscilla The Great: Kiss of Life by Sybil Nelson
From Goodreads: Hey there! It’s me again, Priscilla, a lean, mean, tween machine. Just when I’m finally getting the hang of my powers, something even more confusing and harder to understand enters my world…boys. That’s right, I can shoot fire out of my fingers and lift a car with one hand, but for the life of me I can’t decode “boy-speak”… and that just might turn out to be the death of me.
I really do love this series. It's just so much fun!
This installment continues on from Priscilla The Great. Priscilla and her family have had to move from River's Bend to a secret location to protect themselves - which also means moving away from her boyfriend Kyle and best friend Tai. But things for Priscilla never run smoothly and soon she is face to face to Dr. Witheral and again fighting for her life. It's a good job she has superpower's right? And, of course, there is also the issue of boys! She's hardly getting to see her boyfriend and then there is a certain Marco who is causing a little bit of confusion ...
Honestly I know I keep saying how much fun this series is but it really is! I just love it. Priscilla has an amazing voice - she's funny, likeable and manages to ground the story. So much is going on, with all the superpowers and action, she gives it a believability. I also love all the other characters - her brother Josh, the terrible twins! and her dad is so funny with his need to protect her all the time. I also love the action - everything is obviously well planned out - and it's all very exciting. Plus we get pay off for story lines from the previous installment.
I honestly can't wait to get stuck into the next installment, Too Little Too Late - I'm excited to see what's next in store for Priscilla (especially considering that ending!) and I'm looking forward to more Marco!
