In My Mailbox #57

Hey and welcome back to another installment of IMM, hosted by The Story Siren. I didn't do an IMM last week so here are the books I got in the past two weeks (all purchased by me):

After watching the adorable trailer, I just couldn't resist ordering BEING JAMIE BAKER by Kelly Oram - plus who could resist an amazing cover like *that*?! Well done to the marketing department, I totally fell for it. :)

Then I also bought the whole HUNGER GAMES series - as I said in my review of the first book, I listened to the legally available audio book and I was so impressed by this series that I immediately ordered all three books. I got the UK covers because they're all available in paperback, but I'm not particularly impressed neither with the US nor UK covers, not my cup of tea, but luckily the stoies between the covers are fantastic!
I don't know why my copy of HG has Peeta on the cover when I ordered the one with Katniss, but oh well. Peeta is fantastic and all, but I really like Katniss, such a kickass girl.
I'm almost done with Catching Fire now and jeeez, it seems even better than the first book!!! Not the best thing to read while you eat though - I couldn't put the book down today so I kept reading during breakfast, but I nearly lost all my appetite when the squirrel mutts attacked the gang, eeek! But whoa, what a book!

That's it from me, see you all next week with some more great books! :)

Fantastic book trailers: BEING JAMIE BAKER and HOLD STILL!

While I was on my little hiatus thingy, I came across two book trailers that I fell in love with:

Click on the covers for more info about the books.

Watching these trailers really made me want to buy the books - as a matter of fact, I've already ordered the first one and I'm waiting for the second one to come out in paperback. But yes, if it weren't for these book trailers, I probably wouldn't buy the books so kudos to whoever did them - I appreciate the effort and applaud you!

The trailers couldn't be more different - while one will bring a smile to your face, the other will break your heart. I love them both though.
