In My Mailbox is a weekly post hosted by Kristi at The Story Siren where bloggers can discuss the books we got in the mail this week.
This week I had the special priveledge of borrowing my friend, Paula's kindle. She's pretty awesome to trust me with it. I'm only featuring the two books I'm currently borrowing her kindle to read because I'm not going to feature every book available to me through her kindle library. These two books are actually loanable on the kindle, but long story short, borrowing her kindle was necessary for me to be able to read these.
Fate (My Blood Approves, # 2)
By: Amanda Hocking
Self-published April 25th 2010
334 pages
Source: Borrowed from friend Paula, kindle version
Goodreads description--Fate - the second installment in the My Blood Approves series...
Alice Bonham thinks she's finally found a balance in her life between the supernatural and real life with her brother Milo. Jack - her sorta vampire boyfriend - keeps her at arm's length to keep her safe. As for his brother Peter... she's not sure where he's at, or what he wants with her. Worse still, she's not even sure what she wants with Peter.
When tragedy happens, Alice finds herself struggling with a terrible choice. Her decision has consequences that reach farther than she'd ever imagined...
Flutter (My Blood Approves, # 3)
By: Amanda Hocking
Published: May 29th 2010 by Lulu (first published May 25th 2010)
307 pages
Source: Borrowed from friend, kindle version
Goodreads description--Flutter - the third book in the My Blood Approves series...
Being undead doesn't make life any easier for Alice Bonham.
Her younger brother's love life is heating up, while hers is... more complicated. Mae is falling apart, her best friend Jane is addicted to vampire bites, and if Alice doesn't get her bloodlust under control, someone will end up dead.
Alice volunteers for a rescue mission with Ezra. But going up against a pack of rabid vampires might be too much, even for him.

DeleteI've not read anything by Amanda Hocking, but I am really interested in her books. I will need to get on that. Happy reading.
ReplyDeleteI'll just say I've been impressed with her. She may not be the best author EVER, but she's better than some I've read. So yeah. Plus I haven't read a vampire book in a while. I felt overdue.
DeleteThanks for stopping by!
I've heard a lot about Amanda Hocking. Also, I'll have to check back for your review of Daughter of Smoke and Bone! I've seen mixed reviews, so it will be great to see what you think. (:
ReplyDeleteReview of Daughter of Smoke and Bone is up now! Check it out! Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteI likes your confessions. I don't have time to read all the series I want & I hate the lack of closure. Jane Eyre is one o my all time favorite books!
ReplyDeleteThanks and thanks for stopping by! I do hope to eventually get through Jane Eyre, but I haven't been devoting 100% of my attention to it, but considering all the books I have started at one time, I rarely ever do!
DeleteThanks for stopping by my IMM! I love the My Blood Approves series, enjoy!
ReplyDeleteNo problem! Thanks for stopping by and commenting! I started book 4 in the series this morning and I'm excited about getting through it too.
DeleteI like Amanda, and your friend is awesome for lending you here kindle. Great week on the blog and the week ahead looks promising. You need a blog button (have I already said this) If you want the codes or help making one, email me:) Thanks for being a part of The Sunday Post
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by Kimba! You're so great about commenting and it's really appreciated it. I'll have to think on the blog button thing. I'm sure it's a great idea. Thanks again!

ReplyDeleteI would recommend them. Thanks for stopping by and commenting!
DeleteI enjoyed your book confessions. I'm the same way about wanting a series to be in the same format. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI just need them to all be in the same place and format. It's an OCD thing I guess. Thanks for stopping by and commenting!

Yeah, I've read Hollowland, but haven't made it to Hollowmen yet. It's on the list. Thanks my husband did that for me. And thanks for the follow.
DeleteI think we all understand the TBR list is just crazy long and you get to what you can when you can. I just posted my review of Daughter of Smoke and Bone today. It was really good. I'd definitely recommend it as a Must Read. Thanks for stopping by!
