Another week, another book haul a-la In My Mailbox (The Story Siren) / Stacking the Shelves (Tynga’s Reviews) / Mailbox Monday. I got bought some great titles this week – including some that have been on my wishlist for quite a while…
- Pretty Monsters by Kelly Link – I bought this short story collection for my Short Story Challenge.
- The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman – Is it weird to be a fan of an author that I’ve never read? Because if it is, then I’m super weird ’cause I adore Neil and have never read a thing of his.
- A Study in Sherlock (Anthology) and Professor Moriarty: The Hound of the D’Urbervilles by Kim Newman – Nothing beats a bit of Sherlock fanfiction.
- Hounded by Kevin Hearne
- Full Dark, No Stars by Stephen King – I admit it: I only bought this because it had wolves on the cover. I thought, “Well, since I’ve always been meaning to try Stephen King, I might as well try this wolf-y one.” Also, short stories!
- The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms by N.K. Jemesin – I have yet to read a bad review for this book, so I am rather excited to see what I think!
- Iron Crowned by Richelle Mead – I haven’t started Mead’s Dark Swan series yet (this is book 3) but I trust her enough to buy the books as I see them!
That’s all for this week! What did y’all find in your mailbox?

Good haul this week! I love Richelle Mead but Storm Born is the only one of her adult novels I’ve read. The others are on my TBR list.
Check out my IMM & SP.

I love Richelle Mead. I haven’t read this series, but I’ve read everything else by her. She is absolutely brilliant! Have fun with these books 🙂
Here’s my this week’s IMM.

Haha, no you can totally be a fan of an author and not have read his/her books. I love John Green (from Vlogbrothers), but have only read one of his books. I am reading another of his now, but I totally get what you mean.
I have been wanting to read The Graveyard Book for awhile, but still haven’t gotten around to it.
Anyway, happy reading 🙂
Here’s my IMM
Happy Reading!
You got some great books. I cant wait to see what you think of them. I havent read any Richelle Mead Books but I have heard she is a great author!

Great haul this week. I’ve not read Mead’s DS series yet but I’ve read her others and loved them. I really need to pick this up.
