In My Mailbox [29]


IMM is a weekly meme hosted by The Story Siren.

I only got one book this week, but it was a GOOD one:

For review:
Pandemonium by Lauren Oliver

Huge thanks to the team at Hodder&Stoughton for this one! I love their continued enthusiasm and innovative marketing strategies for all their releases. 

That is the UK cover...what do we think? I LOVE it, except for that horrible quote on the front. I've already had, read and passed on a proof copy of this and I was planning to buy the finished copy anyway so THIS one will be GIVEN AWAY as part of my Blogoversary celebrations next week.

Yep, that's right, Tuesday is my Blogoversary!! I can't believe I've been blogging for nearly a year. I'm going to have a giveaway (UK and an international one, of course) but I'm also going to have a WEEK OF INDULGENCE. What's a week of indulgence I hear you ask? Well, I'm going to read WHATEVER I want. No review books, no 'I should be reading this' books. Just whatever I fancy. 

I've already decided I should read Jellicoe Road by Melina Marchetta...so maybe that will be up first?

Any of you guys fancy joining me in my week of indulgence? It'll be deliciously naughty. 

What did you all get in your mailboxes this week? Don't forget to leave me a link and let me know what you think of the UK cover for Pandemonium!

  3. PAAAAAAAAAAAANDEMONIUUUMMMM! *steals* MAN. I cannot freaking wait to read that book. But I'm also terrified *bites nails* UK cover is so pretty! Not sure which Australia will get, both the US and UK are on the website. Guess it will be a mystery :)

    Ooooh a week of indulgence?! HOW NAUGHTY! I can't wait to see what you pick to read!

    1. I was SO terrified. I actually got my proof before Christmas and it took me till last weekend to get the nerve to read it. It wasn't as bad as I was expecting, but that ENDING.

  12. I've had Pandemonium on pre-order for what seems like forever! Just this week I read the short novella - Hanna, and I was a little disappointed ...

    Hope you enjoyed Pandemonium. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

    1. Thank you I'm glad you like it!! I was looking for a cleaner finish. You HAVE to read Delirium OMG. Especially as I won my copy from you ;)

  15. Definitely hope you enjoy Pandemonium! And although I've read 28 books so far, I think I've written reviews for less than half of them. I just read the book, and move on. Then come back to review the book and realise I've forgotten everything.
    Enjoy this week!

  16. Hey Cait, I love the new look on your blog, I also stole your button and put it in my blogroll =D I haven't read Delirium yet, I really need to fix that. I like the UK Pandemonium cover better than ours. Happy Reading ;)
