This week I received lots of book trades...

Friday Black by Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah

This is a collection of short stories about race and cultural diversity. They tackle some of the difficulties surrounding these topics. I think there might be a slight magical realism aspect to some of these stories too. I enjoy short stories every now and again so I'm looking forward to giving this one a go. 

Daughter of the Siren Queen by Trisha Levenseller

This is the 2nd book in a duology, the first one being Daughter of the Pirate King. I haven't read the first one yet but I'm excited to dive in now I've got the 2nd one too. 

Turtles All the Way Down by John Green

I've never read a John Green book nor have I really been interested in reading one as I'm not the biggest contemporary romance fan however, the mystery element of this one intrigues me. 

The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon

I have heard nothing but great things about this one however it is massive! I'm planning on getting to it very soon otherwise I'll keep putting it off because of the size. 

Have you read any of these? I'd love to hear your thoughts.

This week I just received one book...

Lord of Secrets by Breanna Teintze

I was lucky enough to be gifted this ARC from the publisher. It sounds like a super interesting fantasy book and I can't wait to get to it.

This week I received...

The Dark Vault by V. E. Schwab 

I received this one in a book trade on Facebook. I now own 4 books by this author so it's about time I get to at least one of them. 

Unhinged and Ensnared by A.G. Howard

Another couple I received in a Facebook book trade. I now own this whole trilogy so I'm looking forward to starting it. 

The Tethered Mage by Melissa Caruso, The Ninth Rain by Jen Williams and Sorcerer to the Crown by Zen Cho

My last book trade of the month. Since reading The Ruin of Kings I've really wanted to get more into adult fantasy so hopefully these will help me achieve that. 

Soundless by Richelle Mead

Finally I picked up this one from a charity shop. I've been intrigued my the synopsis for a while but the reviews aren't the best so I'm glad I only paid 50p for this one. 

That's everything I received this month. I've had a bit of an unhaul which is why I have mostly books from trades this week. 

Have you read any of these? What did you think? What books did you receive this week?

This week I received...

All the Lonely People by David Owen

I was lucky enough to win a couple of giveaways on Twitter this week. This was the first one from a lovely fellow bookworm. 

The Queens of Innis Lear by Tessa Gratton

This was the other giveaway I won and this one was from the publisher. 

Girls of Paper and Fire by Natasha Ngan

I received this one in a books for trade. I've had my eye on it since it came out so I'm excited to get to it soon. 

Iremonger: Heap House by Edward Carey and Tribute by Ellen Renner

A lovely book lover was giving away some ARCs on Twitter and I picked these two because they've been on my radar for a while so I thought I would give them a try. 

That's all of the book post I received this week. I was really lucky this week as I haven't actually paid for any of these other than postage for the trades. 

Have you read any of these? What did you think?

This week I received some really exciting books in the post. I was sent...

The Ruin of Kings by Jenn Lyons

I had an eARC of this one from NetGalley but the formatting wasn't great so I was lucky enough to be gifted a physical proof of this one from the publisher. Which was a good job too because I was really enjoying the eARC. 

The Glovemaker by Ann Weisgarber

I was gifted this one by the publisher ready for the blog tour I'm taking part in towards the end of this month. It sounds quite different to what I've been reading at the moment but I'm looking forward to it. 

Once and Future by Amy Rose Capetta and Cori McCarthy

Another one I was lucky to be gifted by the publisher. A King Arthur retelling in space, Yes please!

King of Scars by Leigh Bardugo

This was one of my most anticipated reads of the year so I just had to pick it up as soon as it came out. 

So like I said, I managed to acquire some really great sounding books this week. Are there any here that you're looking forward to reading?

This week I received...

The Boneless Mercies by April Genevieve Tucholke

I know what your thinking, I'm sure we saw this one in a library book haul a couple weeks ago. Yes you did but I was offered my own copy as part of a trade so I grabbed it as I think I'm going to like this one. 

That's all for this week. I am waiting on a couple of parcels but I think the snow has held them up so you'll see them soon.

I'd love to hear what you received this week.

I requested this one from the publisher, Bonnie Zaffre, in exchange for review. It's recommended for fans of Dan Brown which I am. 

Sawkill Girls by Claire Legrand, Beneath the Citadel by Destiny Soria and Damsel by Elana K Arnold

The Cruel Prince by Holly Black

This was one of my favourite books of last year and I've been looking for this hardcover copy for a while. I managed to pick it up 2nd hand for a very reasonable price. 

Eleanor Hurl the Peculiar Girl by SL Kins and Spy Danger by Justin Davis

I received this two from Blue Falcon Publishing in exchange for review.  

A Blade so Black by L.L. McKinney, The Boneless Mercies by April Genevieve Tucholke and Tangleweed and Brine by Deirdre Sullivan

I picked these three up from my local library. They were all on my TBR and one of my goals for this year is to use my library more.

This week will be my post Christmas haul so a few more books than normal. 

These Rebel Waves by Sara Raasch and The Wizards of Once by Cressida Cowell

I bought both of these from Waterstones with my Christmas money. These Rebel Waves was one of my most anticipated releases from last year and The Wizards of Once was in the sale for £5. 

The Wicked King by Holly Black

I was lucky enough to win a copy of this one from Readers First. It's one of my most anticipated releases of this year so I will be reading this one next. 

Gemina and Obsidio by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff

I had some money on my Waterstones loyalty card so I used it to pick up the rest of this series as I read Illuminae at the end of last year and loved it. 

The Price Guide to the Occult by Leslye Walton

I received this from a books for trade through Twitter. 

Have you read any of these? Which ones should I get to first? 

I'd love to hear about the books you received for Christmas.

Mortal Engines by Phillip Reeve

I was lucky enough to win this in a Scholastic giveaway on Twitter. The trailer for the movie looks really good but of course I need to read the book first.

This will be my last Mailbox Monday post, actually my last post at all, before Christmas. I have some scheduled content over Christmas week but I'll be back properly for my end of the year round ups. 

Merry Christmas everyone :)

James Clyde and the Diamonds of Orchestra and James Clyde and the Tomb of Salvation by Colm Mcelwain

I was approached by the author and offered review copies of these two books after I read and commented on a fellow reviewers blog post about the 2nd book. They're middle grade and sound like something I would enjoy so I said yes.

I've had this one on my wishlist for ages and it went down in price on Amazon so I picked it up. 

Only one book this week but one I am looking forward too.
