In My Mailbox - June 28th

In My Mailbox is hosted by the lovely and wonderful Story Siren.


So I had only those three books up above for this week, but then I went to the library yesterday and well.. yeah. I'm sure you can all imagine me in the new book section squealing gleefully with my finds.

The book I'm most proud of acquiring this week is Candle Man: The Society of Unrelenting Vigilance by Glenn Dakin. I actually was contacted on Goodreads from a marketing person to see if I wanted an ARC copy of this book - they had seen it was on my to-be-read bookshelf. And well, I'd never turn down a free book. :)

From the back cover:

A spine-tingling adventure with a steampunk flavor about a lonely boy, his butler, the deaf maid, and a guardian who just may or may not be evil... Theo can never leave hsi room at Empire Hall. He receives painful treatments to control his illness and must wear special gloves for a mysterious reason. Completely cut off from the outside world, Theo yearns to find a way to escape. When he discovers the story of Lord Wickland, the scourge of the underworld, he learns that his special illness may be a gift in disguise. Following the Candle Man's trail, Theo learns that he is destined for great things outside of Empire Hall. Molded in the great tradition of Percy Jack and Septimus Heap, The Society of Unrelenting Vigilance is the first volume of a thriller trilogy with a steampunk flavor from author Glenn Dakin.

The other two books I got from the library:

Beyond the Grave by Jude Watson (4th book in the 39 Clues series)
Fairy Tale by Cyn Balog

And here's all the books I got yesterday from the library as well:



The Dust of 100 Dogs by A.S. King
Zombie Queen of Newbury High by Amanda Ashby

Dull Boy by Sarah Cross
Daughter of the Flames by Zoe Marriott
Silver Pheonix by Cindy Pon

Lots of great books this week.

I also finally signed up for summer reading (actually I'm cheating and doing two libraries bwhahaha) and I got this for signing up:



I have no clue what it is. It has a beaker thing in the middle. It looks like you put it on the wall or something? Maybe a bird-feeder? I have no clue...

If you have any ideas, please tell me!

Thanks for tuning in!
