In My Mailbox - 26 & Sunday Post - 17

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.

I only got 1 book this week, but I need to keep it that way for a while until I catch up.

Midnight City (Conquered Earth, # 1)

By: J Barton Mithcell

Expected Publication: October 30th 2012 by St. Martin's Griffin

384 pages

Source: Publisher via NetGalley (THANK YOU!!)

( Goodreads | Amazon )



Goodreads description--In a post-apocalyptic world controlled by alien invaders, two teens and a young girl with mysterious powers embark on a dangerous journey. What they find will change everything...

Earth has been conquered. An extraterrestrial race known as The Assembly has abducted the adult population, leaving the planet’s youth to fend for themselves. In this treacherous landscape, Holt, a bounty hunter, is transporting his prisoner Mira when they discover Zoey, a young girl with powerful abilities who could be the key to stopping The Assembly. As they make their way to the cavernous metropolis of Midnight City, the trio must contend with freedom fighters, mutants, otherworldly artifacts, pirates, feuding alien armies, and perhaps most perilous of all: Holt and Mira’s growing attraction to each other.

Midnight City is the breathtaking first novel in the Conquered Earth series, and a stunning work of imagination from debut author J. Barton Mitchell.

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.

  5. I wanted to keep my books at one/two per week so it's more manageable on my reading schedule but those itchy fingers of mine just can't help reaching for more books! xD Heard that Midnight City is good, hope you'll enjoy reading it!
