In My Mailbox #6
Sunday 31st January, 2010
In My Mailbox is hosted by Kristi of The Story Siren – who in turn was inspired by Alea of Pop Culture Junkie. I think, I may have gone a little bit overboard this week. I got a few books from trade, but the majority of the next 21 books were bought, at Borders closest to us and a Waldenbooks in Tampa who has a very very VERY rude person working in it, which you could not pay me enough to go back to.

That my friends is $300 worth of books in the last WEEK. I think I’m going to ban myself from buying anymore books (not including Debs) until I’ve gotten through at least 20 more books on my TBR, as it stands now there are 57 of them! I know that’s nothing compared to some people, but for me that’s a lot, however since I read almost 20(official count 16!!) books in January maybe I can be clear of my worry and guilt and non-book-buyingness by the end of February! Lets hope! How did you guys make out this week?
All Unquiet Things by Anna Jarzab
Saturday 30th January, 2010
Summary:
Carly: She was sweet. Smart. Self-destructive. She knew the secrets of Brighton Day School’s most privileged students. Secrets that got her killed.Neily: Dumped by Carly for a notorious bad boy, Neily didn’t answer the phone call she made before she died. If he had, maybe he could have helped her. Now he can’t get the image of her lifeless body out of his mind.
Audrey: She’s the reason Carly got tangled up with Brighton’s fast crowd in the first place, and now she regrets it—especially since she’s convinced the police have put the wrong person in jail. Audrey thinks the murderer is someone at Brighton, and she wants Neily to help her find out who it is.
As reluctant allies Neily and Audrey dig into their shared past with Carly, her involvement with Brighton’s dark goings-on comes to light. But figuring out how Carly and her killer fit into the twisted drama will force Audrey and Neily to face hard truths about themselves and the girl they couldn’t save.

Ash by Malinda Lo
Thursday 21st January, 2010
Summary:
In the wake of her father’s death, Ash is left at the mercy of her cruel stepmother. Consumed with grief, her only joy comes by the light of the dying hearth fire, re-reading the fairy tales her mother once told her. In her dreams, someday the fairies will steal her away, as they are said to do. When she meets the dark and dangerous fairy Sidhean, she believes that her wish may be granted.The day that Ash meets Kaisa, the King’s Huntress, her heart begins to change. Instead of chasing fairies, Ash learns to hunt with Kaisa. Though their friendship is as delicate as a new bloom, it reawakens Ash’s capacity for love—and her desire to live. But Sidhean has already claimed Ash for his own, and she must make a choice between fairy tale dreams and true love.
Entrancing and romantic, Ash is an empowering retelling of Cinderella about choosing life and love over solitude and death, where transformation can come from even the deepest grief.
