In My Mailbox (67)

In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by The Story Siren to share what books you received for review, purchased, or checked out from the library during the past week.


For review:

Pandemonium by Lauren Oliver

The Book Thief by Markus Zusak

Flesh and Fire by Laura Anne Gilman

Purchased:

Delirium by Lauren Oliver


Scrabble Book Lovers Edition


So it's not a book but it is book related! I love Scrabble and this sounds like a fun twist on the original. You can play by the original rules or you can play the book lover version where you get extra points for building character, author, and book title names. I can't wait to play- but first I have to find some willing players...

    OMG! Scrabble Book Lovers is brilliant! I had no idea they even made that version. Very cool! I can't wait to hear what you think of Pandemonium. I also really liked The Book Thief- I hope you enjoy that one, too! Happy Reading!

    PANDEMONIUM!!!! *eyes dart around suspiciously*

    Oh my god, what is your problem? How dare you accuse me of plotting to lure you in with a game of Scrabble and the betray your trust when whoops, Professor Brodie knocked Christina unconscious with a candlestick in the billard room and then stole this bad boy novel. (wait... I think we're playing cluedo now).

    So, um, I'm super jealous of Pandemonium :P AWESOME books this week! I'm also reallly interested in Miss Peregrine's too. Enjoy!

    @ Christina-They also have one for people who love to garden and people who love to cook. Pandemonium is really good so far.

    @ Brodie-LOL, I haven't played Clue in ages! Great game :)

    @ Juju-I'd love to review it. I am planning to try it out with my family at Thanksgiving while the guys watch the Packers game :)

    I have flipped through Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children. It looks really interesting. The eery pictures are a part of the story and that is so cool.

    The end of Delirium completely shattered my poor little heart!! I can't wait to see what happens next! Miss Peregrine's is awesome. The book is already creepy, but the old photos just add to it! Enjoy!
