In My Mailbox #15

In my Mailbox is a weekly meme started by The Story Siren which gives bloggers a chance to showcase all the books they received in the previous week (for review, bought, borrowed, ect...) but for which they sometimes have no space to showcase in detail on their blogs.

Bought:
The Prince of Mist by Carlos Ruiz Zafón
I came across this in my local book store and recognised the name of the author - although I haven't read anything by him, yet. So this is my first Zafón and I've only just started.





eARCS:

The Beginning of After by Jennifer Castle
Lately I find myself thirsting for some contemporary fiction reads and I think this is a good beginning since my ordered books are still not shipped :P
*thanks to HarperCollins via netGalley for giving me access to this.

The Mephisto Covenant by Trinity Faergen
I've been after this since I first set eyes on the pre-order option on amazon. The summary sounds like this is going to be exactly up my alley :)

Tris & Izzie by Mette Ivie Harrison
On the first look it looks like another contemporary fiction read but actually it's a retelling of the Tristan & Isolde legend, so it has quite a bit of magic. Anyway, I like that legend so I'm looking forward to reading the book
*thanks to Egmont USA via NetGalley for giving me access to The Mephisto Covenant and Tris & Izzie.

Okay, my Mailbox is still small (due to no time for reading, CampNaNoWriMo is going great btw, 3,500 words already) but very pretty. So, what's in your mailboxes this week?

    I feel like I've got to start using NetGalley. It seems like everybody has The Beginning of After and Tris & Izzie except me. And I really want to read them both, too! Hope you enjoy them :-)

    Great netgalley books! Oh, I love that cover for Prince of Mists! I really enjoyed that one, Zafon has a very subtle writing style. Didn't care for his new one, but Prince of Mists was good and creepy!
