Book Faery: In My Mailbox (12)

A Note:

6/2/13

I once told myself: IF I am accepted into grad school, this blog would no longer be updated. As it turns out, in April, I received news of my acceptance for the Fall 2013 semester, where I will attain a Master's degree of Science in Nutrition.

Running a blog, as many of you may already know, is a demanding side job once the excitement wears off. And once I fell out of the blogging community's loop (have you SEEN how many blogs there are now? Wow!), it was like the kiss of death. Despite my best efforts, I couldn't get into a blogging routine once this happened due to the disconnect I felt from the community.

So I took a break. I struggled with the loss and with missing my blog. And then I realized I didn't have to run Book Faery to still be a book reviewer; I could read my books and post reviews online. I'm still a book review blogger, just not in the traditional sense.

I'll still be online. You can chat with me on Twitter, where I'll be posting links to my reviews and talking books. I'll also be posting links to nutrition articles. And if you'd like to connect with me where I guarantee I will post reviews, just add me as a friend on Goodreads.

So that's all, folks! It's been a fun and amazing journey, and I thank you all for listening to my thoughts about books. I hope we all can keep in touch elsewhere :)

In My Mailbox

is hosted by Kristi @ The Story Siren

Did you miss The Lords of the Underworld week with New York Times best selling author Gena Showalter? No problem!
GO HERE!
You can win signed copies of all her current books--including The Darkest Passion coming out this Tuesday!

To Review:

YES, I got it! I've also finished reviewing it, so you can expect my review up in the first week of June :)

Insatiable by Meg Cabot (Release Date: June 8th)
Lotsa swag

I was so excited to get HbtO from Jess! She's such a sweetheart :) And as an added bonus, she included the anthology Nocturnal. I wish I had a second me so I could read both at the same time.

Hunted by the Others by Jess Haines
Nocturnal by Jacquelyn Frank, Kate Douglas, Jess Haines, Clare Willis

Totally wasn't expecting a copy of this, but I got a copy. You can read the summary of the book here.

Lost Devil's Throne by Kristin Stefanos

Won:

The Karma Club bookmark
A little booklet

Bought:

Love in the Time of Dragons by Katie MacAlister
Stormwalker by Allyson James (READ MY REVIEW)
Bitten by Kelley Armstrong

I told you all I'd be getting a paperback of Stormwalker! And yes, I haven't read the Women of the Otherworld series yet. Shame on me.

That's it for me! So I have two questions for you all:

Have you heard of/read any of these books? Did you enjoy them?

And...

Who's going to the Author Carnival on Monday and/or BEA Wed/Thurs?!

Okay.... so maybe that was three questions.
