In My Mailbox (22)


This weekend was crazy busy for me what with my sister's party, decorating, cleaning, and it was also the weekend my teachers realized they were letting their students slack off too much, so it was full of homework too. I didn't get a chance to post all about the amazing books I got from the library last week, but I wanted to share so here they are!

Library Books: 


*Yes, another week of bad photos. Grr! 

Fateful by Claudia Gray (The Book Depository/Amazon)
Shut Out by Kody Keplinger (The Book Depository/Amazon)
The Ghost and the Goth by Stacey Kade (Amazon)
Silence by Becca Fitzpatrick (The Book Depository/Amazon)
Jenna & Jonah's Fauxmance by Emily Franklin and Brendan Halpin (The Book Depository/Amazon)

There are lots of titles I'm excited for. Fateful I've heard a lot of great things about, plus it's by Claudia Gray and I really liked the first few Evernight books. Shut Out is by Kody Keplinger, author of The Duff which you should totally read because it's so awesome. I loved it so I expect great things from Shut Out. The Ghost and the Goth is one of those series I've been seeing around forever and so many bloggers love it, so I decided to jump on the bandwagon and try it out. I'm really curious about it! Silence is part of the Hush Hush series which I have very mixed feelings about, but I'm really curious to see where the story goes. Jenna & Jonah's Fauxmance has a cool title. Seriously, sometimes that's all it takes. I'm already curious and expecting fun.

Anyway, that's what I got in my mailbox. Let me know, what you have in your mailbox by leaving a comment! Thanks for visiting Tantalizing Illusions and I hope you have a great day.

In My Mailbox (20)




In My Mailbox is hosted by Kristi from The Story Siren all about the new books you've received throughout the week. These can be review titles, books you bought, books you borrowed, whatever! IMM is about show casing these new titles. 

I have said I've  been on a book getting ban which is why I didn't get anything last week. (*sobs*) So this week, when I saw the books that came in for me at the library I completely ignored that ban and took them all. I'll probably never finish them all in time but I couldn't let these titles go. 

For Review


Seize the Story by Victoria Hanley (The Book Depository/Amazon)
First off, thank you Prufrock Press! I know November is NaNoWriMo but I can't participate because of school. But I can still write! I'm really excited for the tips & tricks here. Plus, the cover is so much fun to look at. Every time I notice something new. ☺

From the Library


The Hidden by Jessica Verday (The Book Depository/Amazon)
I've always liked this series and I can't wait to see how everything turns out. Plus I'm curious about that ring!
Fury by Elizabeth Miles (The Book Depository/Amazon)
I've heard some great stuff about this one. Plus, the cover is soo pretty!
Lola and the Boy Next Door by Stephanie Perkins (The Book Depository/Amazon)
Anna and the French Kiss was awesome, which gives me more than enough reason to read Lola!
The Name of the Star by Maureen Johnson (The Book Depository/Amazon)
I've also heard so much good stuff about this one, and with the creepy cover and premise filled with suspense, it's one of my must reads.
Chain Reaction by Simone Elkeles (The Book Depository/Amazon)
I'm such a huge fan of this series and I love Simone's books! I know I'll devour this book and I can't wait to read about Luis' story. 


Beautiful Chaos by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl (The Book Depository/Amazon)
I met Margaret on tour and she was awesome so I'd probably read any book she writes... but I do love this series too! I ♥ Casters!
Drink Slay Love by Sarah Beth Durst (The Book Depository/Amazon)
This title is amazing. The cover looks awesome. Plus, I make it my personal mission to read anything in YA about slaying and hunters. Yeah, I'm a Buffy and Supernatural fan. 
How to Save a Life by Sara Zarr (The Book Depository/Amazon)
Sara Zarr comes with huge recommendations so I wanted to try this book. Also, the title reminds me of that song How to Save a Life and I liked that so I couldn't pass on this book.
Dark of the Moon by Tracy Barrett (The Book Depository/Amazon)
I honestly have no clue what this book is about, but the title and the cover make it seem right up my alley. I'm ready to be surprised!
Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor (The Book Depository/Amazon)
I've seen nothing but good about this book. Seriously. I need it. Plus the cover and premise look awesome. 
Beautiful Days by Anna Godbersen (The Book Depository/Amazon)
I love Anna's books, plus Bright Young Things was great! I love reading about the 20s!

So that's what I got in my mailbox this week. I honestly just want to take three weeks off school and finish all the books on my TBR so I can start these. They sound great and I'm looking forward to reviewing them. Anyway, thanks for visiting Tantalizing Illusions! Feel free to comment and leave a link. Let me know what you got in your mailbox!

Happy reading!

In My Mailbox (18)


Hey guys, I'm so excited to be doing my 18th IMM! In My Mailbox is all about the fabulous books you got this week and is created by Kristi from The Story Siren

This is kind of a late IMM because I didn't have the time to do it the last few weeks. Weirdly, I didn't get very much last week. This week, I went to the library... 

Before that, I went to the Smart Chicks Kick it Tour in Ottawa. They. Were. Awesome! It was my first signing so I was super nervous and starstruck so I was kind of quiet and didn't ask the questions I wanted to ask. Nevermind that though- the panel was so great. It was full and everyone was so happy to be there. And the line for the signing was over two hours long! Totally worth it though. I was near the end and got Enthralled, along with some bookmarks, a bracelet and a tattoo. 


Enthralled: Paranormal Diversions (The Book Depository/Amazon)
It's an antho from authors who've books I've enjoyed. I think I've read one of every author there so I'm SUPER psyched to read this! 

From the library:


Love Story by Jennifer Echols (The Book Depository/Amazon)
I can't wait to read this. I've never read anything about Jennifer Echols before but I've seen some awesome things being said.
Twisted by Gena Showalter (The Book Depository/Amazon)
I've read the others in the series and they're such fun, action packed reads. I'm curious as to see what happens next. If you love paranormal, or urban fantasy, definitely check this series out.
Burnout by Adrienne Maria Vrettos (The Book Depository/Amazon)
I honestly don't know anything about this book except that I liked the cover. It is a nice cover, isn't it?
The False Princess by Eilis O'Neal (The Book Depository/Amazon)
The premise of this book was what pulled me in. I mean, a false princess? Being a princess one day and then suddenly not would be hard. I wonder what happens...
Bargains and Betrayals by Shannon Delaney (The Book Depository/Amazon)
I originally wasn't a huge fan of the series. I didn't really like 13 to Life but Secrets and Shadows blew me away. I loved it! I can't wait for Bargains and Betrayals and I hope I'll like it. 
My Boyfriends' Dogs by Dandi Daley Mackall (The Book Depository/Amazon)
The title is why I chose this book. It looks like a light and fun contemporary read but I also don't know much about it.


Anna Dressed in Blood by Kendare Blake (The Book Depository/Amazon)
The title. The cover. The synopsis. The reviews. All that translates into a MUST read. :)
Sass & Serendipity by Jennifer Ziegler (The Book Depository/Amazon)
Cute, contemporary, fun, light... perfect after scary paranormal ghost stories!
Until the End by Christopher Pike (The Book Depository/Amazon)
It's by Christopher Pike. That in itself is a reason to check it out as he writes original, exciting paranormal stories.
My Beating Teenage Heart by CK Kelly Martin (The Book Depository/Amazon)
Another of those random books I don't know much about. Something about this book just made me want to pick it up. I hope I like it!

That's what I got in my mailbox. Thank you so much for visiting and please leave a link so I can visit you too. Also, feel free to enter the giveaway I have going (link is above). What did you get in your mailbox?
