What did you get?
Omg that book has a long title! Seriously, apart from City of Fallen Angels, all those books have seriously creepy covers. Even Coraline! Love it!
ReplyDeleteAwesome books! I hadn't seen that cover of Coraline but WOAH. Just WOAH, in a cool way. The Girl Who Circumvented Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making looks really cute, and I love the cover of The Horns of Ruin, though I haven't heard much about it. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts, and happy reading! :)
ReplyDeleteAlso, 200 Pound Beauty = <33. I agree, very cute.
Those all look great. The Girl Who Circumvented Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making looks really fun. Happy reading! :)
ReplyDeleteI would even add the cover of City of Fallen Angels, Bookworm :) Just means one thing - they are going to be wonderful reads.
ReplyDeleteI need to buy The Girl Who.., too. I was sent an ARC and I started it (it's really good!) but the print on the ARC is so tiny I was getting headaches! :D Love the cover of Horns of Ruin! Enjoy all of these!
ReplyDeleteCoraline is great! It's very creepy. I need to read The Girl Who Circumnavigated as well. Enjoy your new books!
ReplyDeleteWoot! I had a Neil Gaiman title this week, too! The Mortal Instruments series is a fave here, and I SO want "The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland"! Great mailbox; enjoy your reading week!
ReplyDeleteGiada- Wow, these are the kind of stories I'd love to read! They don't get mentioned much on the blogs I follow. But they seem like high adventure and fairy tales like I used to love when I was in school. I've heard of the first one and Coraline, but not the rest. I can't wait for your reviews so I can see which ones I want!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming over. I'm so glad to meet a new blogger with different books. I'm hoping to stick Divergent in this week among my review books but it's long! Still, how can everyone be wrong???

Ooh, I haven't heard of a few of these. The Stuff of Legend and The Horns of Ruin have GREAT covers, I'm going to have to look into them.
ReplyDeleteAnd LOVE that cover for Coraline. Creep-y!
Looks like you got some fun books to read! Happy reading. :)
ReplyDeleteI only know of CoFA though I still haven't read it yet. Anyhow, hope you have fun reading your books!

ReplyDeleteLots of fun books, many of which I've never heard of. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI really love the cover of "or else my lady keeps the key" :D it reminds me of some old pictures I saw...
ReplyDeleteI find the cover of "the stuff of legend" creepier than the coraline's one..can't tell you why actually...
let'me know how "the girl who.." is! it sounds interesting...
enjoy your books!
