In My Mailbox (5)

Written by: Kelly on September 12, 2010.

Welcome to this week’s In My Mailbox post! In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by Kristi at The Story Siren in which bloggers talk about the books they received in the mail or checked out from the library over the week.

For review this week:

Star Crossed by Elizabeth C. Bunce (Scholastic, available now). Bunce wrote the book A Curse Dark as Gold. I haven’t read it but read a lot of rave reviews of it, but this book sounded a little more up my alley.

Allie Finkle’s Blast from the Past (Scholastic, available now). I have not read any of the entries into this series, but now that my job has expanded to covering more of this age range of reading, you bet I’ll be digging into this one!

From the library:

Same Difference by Siobhan Vivian. Since I really liked Not That Kind of Girl, I wanted to read this one.

H.I.V.E.: Higher Institute of Villaianous Education by Mark Walden. This came highly recommended from a coworker, so I took it home!

What did you get this week?

  1. Ooh, I've read H.I.V.E. – it's not bad, although I couldn't help comparing it to the Artemis Fowl books and finding it wanting. Haven't read any of the other ones, though.

  2. I read Same Difference last year. Didn't work for me nearly as well as Vivian's new book. However, her talent is still evident.

    I couldn't read A Curse as Dark as Gold because the Rumpelstilskin storyline freaks me out to this day. I know it's a reworking but my mind is fragile, lol. I'd be willing to give her new book a try though. Good books!
