In My Mailbox - 25 & Sunday Post - 16

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.

Jenny Pox (The Paranormals, # 1)

By: JL Bryan

Published: July 22nd 2010

214 pages

Source: Personal Kindle Library (Freebie!!!!)

( Amazon | Goodreads )



Goodreads description--Eighteen-year-old Jenny Morton has a horrific secret: her touch spreads a deadly supernatural plague, the "Jenny pox." She lives by a single rule: Never touch anyone. A lifetime of avoiding any physical contact with others has made her isolated and painfully lonely in her small rural town.

Then she meets the one boy she can touch. Jenny feels herself falling for Seth...but if she's going to be with him, Jenny must learn to use the deadly pox inside her to confront his ruthless and manipulative girlfriend Ashleigh, who secretly wields the most dangerous power of all.

Deadlocked (Deadlocked, # 1)

By: AR Wise

Published: December 20th 2011 (first published November 9th 2011)

54 pages

Source: Personal Kindle Library (Freebie!!!!)

( Amazon | Goodreads )



Goodreads description--David was caught in the middle of the city when the zombie outbreak started. His wife and daughters were at home, stranded on the roof as zombies waited below. He would have to fight through hordes of undead, merciless other survivors, and a series of death defying stunts to get home. However, even if he makes it there, how can he be sure they're safe?

Deadlocked puts you into David's head as he struggles to get home. Then a final confrontation occurs that will guarantee his family's survival, but at what cost?

Rockoholic

By: CJ Skuse

Expected Publication: November 1st 2012 by Scholastic

358 pages

Source: Publisher via NetGalley (Thank you Scholastic!)

( Amazon | Goodreads )



Goodreads--She's got it bad, and he ain't good -- he's in her garage?

"I'm your biggest fan, I'll follow you until you love me..."

Gonna have to face it: Jody's addicted to Jackson Gatlin, frontman of The Regulators, and after her best bud Mac scores tickets, she's front and center at his sold-out concert. But when she gets mashed in the moshpit and bodysurfs backstage, she's got more than a mild concussion to deal with. By the next morning, the strung-out rock star is coming down in her garage. Jody -- oops -- kind of kidnapped him. By accident. With a Curly Wurly candy bar. And now he doesn't want to leave.

It's a rock-star abduction worthy of an MTV reality series...but who got punk'd?!

The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimba @ The Caffeinated Book Reviewer ~this meme was inspired in part by ~ In My Mailbox~ It's a chance to share News. A post to recap the past week, showcase books and things we have received and share news about what is coming up for the week on our blog.

Because I already participate in the In My Mailbox meme (above), I'm just going to use this one as way to recap my week.

Tuesday: Top 10 Favorite Authors in X Genre (Top 10 Tuesday)

Also, this week I hit 100 GFC followers! Thank you so much to everyone for showing your support. I appreciate it so much. And as a thank you to you, I plan on hosting a giveaway this week. I set up a poll in my right hand column at the top. Please vote on the prize for the giveaway. Poll closes on Wednesday (October 24th), so that I can post the giveaway rafflecopter form on Friday (October 26th). As it says, if you have another option you'd rather me offer as the prize, list it in my comments section. Thanks again everyone.

  25. Rockaholic sounds awesome. And WHAT is with the premise of Jenny Pox!? It sounds hilarious when you read the title but then the summary is all depressing and freaky. I hope it's a good one!
