In My Mailbox (#8)!

Here is a confession. Before I wrote the title for this post, I needed to check my blog's archive first. 'Waittt... what edition of IMM is it?' Yes, I'm ashamed to tell you this: I forgot the number because I skipped so many weeks. Bad, bad Hilda!

This is not an excuse, but I just finished my mid term test this week. You know... finally. *dramatic music on cue* And yes, I told you that I have to study for my midterm since (gasp!) one month ago. Well, blame it on my lecturers and their so-called tight schedules. I'm pleased to tell you that I have came back from the study torture battlefield now, all safe and sound. :)

What do I have in my mailbox in the past four weeks now? Well, let's see.... 

(Click the book cover to bring you to the Goodreads link!)

Enormous, special thanks to Netgalley, publishers, and authors for the awesome books! ♥

I can't wait to start reading Storm! The only thing that's better than a hot guy is FIVE hot guys together in a book. I think the Elvis Presley's hair in Dark Kiss is hilarious. I hope I'll get blown away by The Immortal Rules! The Glimpse has such amazing premise and really good cover. Hopefully the cover is not a misleading case!

I have finished reading Forbidden (my review).Oh well, I don't know what to say. It's a very hard book to describe, especially with the difficult topic. I love the mention of 80's in Retro Geeks. They said The Book of Blood and Shadow is The DaVinci Code for YA. Well, I'm not a big fan of DaVinci Code but it does intrigue me. The cover for the Prophecy of the Sisters is my Indonesian edition's cover. Isn't it pretty? ;) 

I'm going to do a comeback giveaway next week, so stay alert! :)

In My Mailbox (#7)!

In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by amazing Kristi @ The Story Siren.

Last week, I told you guys that I won't add too much books on my Review shelf since my midterm is near. Now, it's practically banging on my door, screaming to me to start studying, and haunting me when I'm sleeping. No, I'm not being melodramatic. Well, okay... a little.

Let's take a look on books I received this week!

Jake and Lily by Jerry Spinelli

Many thanks to Harper Collins. Stargirl is a great book, and I love story about twin! :)

Switched by Amanda Hocking

I've never read any YA book about changeling. Plus, the cover is really pretty!

Like Mandarin by Kirsten Hubbard

Wanderlove is brilliant, so I have to read Kirsten Hubbard's debut! Hopefully it will be just as awesome!

Dead to You by Lisa McMann

I've been waiting so long to read this book! This seems like a great suspense read!

Enticed by Jessica Shirvington

I received this as a gift from an Aussie friend. Yay! I can't wait to see what happens to Violet. Hopefully she has more fun in this book (and less grumpy)! :)

I can't wait to dive in and start reading the books! They all look like awesome read! Enticed's Aussie cover is really enticing, I love the model in the cover! And it has been so long since I read MG titles, so hopefully Jake and Lily would be a fun read! :)

Happy reading and have a wonderful week! I hope everyone has great books in their mailbox!

In My Mailbox (#6)!

In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by amazing Kristi @ The Story Siren.

Since I don't do this meme last week, this edition is a wrap up for two weeks. My mid-term is getting closer (horror!), so I'm determined to limit my books until mid April. Finger crossed I'll still be able to finish at least two books a week! :)

The Summer My Life Began by Shannon Greenland

Love the premise. Seems like perfect very-very-early summer reading! Many thanks to JKS Communication!

 

The Lure of Shapinsay by Krista Holle 

Krista contacted me and I've never read any book about selkie, so I think I have to try this out! Can't resist the idea of forbidden love! Watch out for review + GIVEAWAY next month! :)

 

 

Innocent Darkness by Suzanne Lazear

The cover is super cool! I'm still fairly new in steampunk genre so I'm really excited to read this book! Many thanks to Flux!

 

 

Why We Broke Up by Daniel Handler 

I've been wanting this book since the moment I saw it on my Goodreads recommendation. The idea of this book reminds me of Thirteen Reasons Why (which is amazing!).

 

I Heart You, You Haunt Me by Lisa Schroeder

It has been such a long time since I read novel in verse. The story is very simple yet sad. I finished this book yesterday, and it only took me about two hours to finish it! Review will be posted tomorrow. :)

  

The Other Life by Susanne Winnacker

I read so many Contemporary titles lately... now I'm in desperate need for Dystopian fix. So many good review on this book, hopefully I'm going to like this book too!

Ice by Sarah Beth Durst

Won from Mary @ Sweeping Me. Thank you so much, Mary! I LOVE fairytale retelling! <3

Yay! I can't wait to find a comfortable spot and begin reading these books (who cares about mid-term)!

Have you read any of these books? What's in your mailbox this week? :)

In My Mailbox (#5)!

 Let's see what I got this week! This was a pretty quiet week and I wasn't too eager to add too much books on my TBR pile. I guess I have to read finish the pile soon, or it will just get bigger and bigger! :)

Grave Mercy by Robin LaVefers

Received from Netgalley, thank you Netgalley and Houghton Mifflin Harcourt! This sounds like amazing read. I love assassin, kind of remind me of Poison Study (which is absolutely amazing!).

 


  

ReVamped by Ada Adams

Received from the author. Thank you, Ada! She is super nice and she'll be here on March 28 for interview+GIVEAWAY! I hope you guys will drop a visit on the date! Pretty please? ;)

 


   

Welcome, Caller, This Is Chloe by Shelley Coriell

Received from Netgalley. Thank you Netgalley and Abrams! I wasn't really interested with the book but once I read that she is on the school radio, I'm instantly intrigued! I love books about music and radio!

 

Never Enough by Denise Jaden

Received from Galley Grab! Thank you, Simon and Schuester! I really miss the newsletter, hopefully they will sort things out and distribute the newsletter again soon! <3

The Gathering Storm by Robin Bridges

I tried the quiz on Random Buzzer and needless to say, I know that I have to read this book after completing the quiz! Gown to kill for, Russian royals, and necromancer? Definitely my kind of read!

 

The Fine Art of Truth or Dare

I read some lovely reviews about this book. This seems like a perfect contemporary read! I love the cover, so cute!

 That's all what I got this week! Have you read any of the books? I'm so curious to see what everyone got this week, please share with me! I hope you guys have amazing books this week! :)


PS: I want to know, how long it takes for you to read and review a book from Netgalley? Just curious so I can learn whether I'm a snail reader (which I suspected) and quicken my pace! Thank you in advance for the answer, you guys are amazing! :)

In My Mailbox (#4)!

Yay! Another round of IMM! This amazing weekly meme is hosted by Kristi @ The Story Siren. I'm so excited to share what books in my mailbox this week, because I got stuffs that I've wanted since forever! You might have realized that I change my weekly meme button again. Well, I 'm a button-addict!

Sorry for the lack of review this week! I'm not exactly in the best time to write a review (meaning I can't just ditch my homework and lost myself in land of books). Bad, bad Hilda! I promise, there will be more reviews posted next week! :)

Here are the books in my mailbox this week:

The Catastrophic History of You and Me by Jess Rothenberg

Oh, I fall in love with the cover! And I love story about dead girl! Err... okay, it sounds strange now.

Fever (The Chemical Garden, #2) by Lauren DeStefano

Bought this book without second thought. Finally it comes out! YAY! No need to say how much I adore the first book. Currently reading it! :)

Forgiving Trinity by Liz Reinhardt

Signed up on the blog tour and received this for review! I read a few chapters and loved it! Seems like an enjoyable read! Tour stop here in April 4 for guest post, and April 5 for my review! Liz Reindhart is AWESOME, and I'm sure her guest post will be hilarious! :)

When You Were Mine by Rebecca Serle

Received from Simon and Schuster! All thanks to Galley Grab. This is Romeo and Juliet's modern retelling, but there's more to it! This is a story about Rosaline, the other girl who was supposed to meet Romeo the day he met Juliet! Uh oh, a love triangle here? Love this quote: Shakespeare may have gotten the story wrong, but we all still know how it ends.

Faery Tales & Nightmares by Melissa Marr

Received this as a gift. Always a little girl in heart, I still have soft spot for fairy tales! There's a story titled Winter Kiss which I read yesterday. It's a beautiful story, and I'm sure you'll be hooked after reading that story! Psst, there's a polar bear and a princess with frost breath we're talking about!

That's all what I got this week! Have you read any of these books? What's in your mailbox this week? :)

In My Mailbox (#3)

Hello guys! Back again to this week's edition of IMM. In My Mailbox (IMM) is a wonderful meme hosted by Kristi @ The Story Siren. This is a way to show others what books you received, borrowed, or bought this week!


I've got back to college hectic days (yay?) so I can't read as fast as before, but that doesn't stop me from buying more books than I intended to! I won't call myself an impulsive buyer. I just... have a soft spot for books. Aren't everyone? :P


I signed up for two book tours this week, so I received the E-ARCs for review:

 The Broken Destiny (Broken, #1) by Carlyle Labuschagne

 I read a few pages and completely hooked up! The tour will stop by my blog on March 23. It's a review plus author interview! :)

 Oppression (Children of the Gods, #1) by Jessica Therrien

I love Greek mythology! The blurb sounds awesome. Can't wait to read more! The tour will stop here on March 11. Like The Broken Destiny, there's an author interview along the review!

 Don't forget to drop by here on the tour dates! :)

I also bought some books this weekend:

Goddess Boot Camp (Oh. My. Gods, #2) by Tera Lynn Childs

The first book of this series, Oh.My.Gods. is fabulous! The second book will be even more awesome I hope, with Phoebe now has her own supernatural power!

 Graffiti Moon by Cath Crowley

I love guys with art streak. And the idea of magical night, just awww. <3 Everyone seems to love this book, not to mention the long list of literary award this book receives!

What did you get this week? Come on, share with me! :)
