Mail call!

Hi guys!

Welcome back to Satisfaction for Insatiable Readers.

Today, we're delving into the past for a post to share a few new arrivals on my doorstep; some of my own doing, others the blogs doing.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ooh...what do I see here?

Why the VERY BOOKS YOU CAN ENTER TO WIN RIGHT HERE ON THE SITE!  So, what are you waiting for?  Oh, right...the rest of the post.  ^_^

These little beauties arrived for review.  The first is scheduled for later this year, the second, an unexpected arrival.  Still, BOTH sound pretty darn cool and the cover on that second one, LOVE IT!

These arrived due to my own shopping habits.  Don't judge, you know you do it too.  I mean how could I resist grabbing a second copy of the first one; my other was in paperback!  Anywho, feast your eyes on these gems and then feel free to add to your own wish lists.

Oh and before you go, what'd YOU find this weekend/week?

Do tell!

Until next time....happy reading!

The Receiving Reader...

I know what you're thinking...what in the world does that title mean?!? Well, in short it means something that this reader received; in longer form it means something I totally SQUEED over upon its arrival yesterday in my mailbox...

Lovecraft Middle School, Book 3: TEACHER'S PEST
by
Charles Gilman

...coming this May via Quirk Books!

Can't wait to dive into this one. This is one school readers of all ages will be clamoring for one more semester ASAP.

In My Shopping Bag (121)

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

Through her guidelines, your post does not actually have to be named the same and thus my post shall be..."In My Shopping Bag".  (just fits with the "foodie" theme a bit better in my humble opinion)

 

Let's take a peek inside my shopping bag from this past week....and the week before that.  Yep, didn't get a chance to do this post last week, hence the length of this one.  Wish list ready?  ^_^

Normally seen on a Sunday, this week it shifts to Tuesday. Why?  Because it's my right as a blogger to move things around...and my other days were taken but I couldn't resist sharing these recent arrivals with you.  ^_^

Let's take a peek inside this week....

For Review

The Santa Trap by Jonathan Emmett

Release Date:  October 2012

Can't WAIT to get into this one...in fact, I might just NOT wait.  Really, how can you resist that cover?

Silver:  Return to Treasure Island by Andrew Motion

(courtesy of Jonathan at Crown Trade / Broadway Paperbacks, Random House)

Look familiar?  It should.  It's the same book YOU HAVE A CHANCE TO WIN but not for much longer so don't miss out!

Zan-Gah and the Beautiful Country

Dael and the Painted People

by Allan Richard Shickman

This is book 2 and 3 in a series I started once upon a time (just click here to check out my thoughts on book 1).  Will be curious to see just what happened to our friend as this adventure continued....

Rescued

The Innocents (book 1) by Lili Peloquin

Release Date:  October 16, 2012

...from Razorbill, an imprint of Penguin Group USA

Okay, so this wasn't so much of a "rescue" as a "lay claim to" as the BREATHLESS READS promo box arrived in store and was quickly devoured.  Managed to get out with my life and this copy.  Looks good!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That's it for this week.

So, what did you get?

My wish list is ready...do tell!

The Goddess Legacy (Goddess Test, 2.5) by Aimee Carter

Clemency Pogue, book 3:  The Scrivener Bees by J.T. Petty

The first is the "stave-off-the-waiting-period" in between publication while fans count down to the 3rd installment in this series.....the second IS a third installment, but alas I still need the second!  (*adds to MUST FIND SOON list*)

Though this post is usually seen on a Sunday, alas...I was not able to post it this weekend.  Fortunately, the use of this post does not dictate a mandatory posting day and so I give you today's feature.

REVIEW

The Toadhouse Trilogy (Book 1) by Jess Lourey
Released: August 1st

The delivery of this one included your usual promo information but also three glow in the dark neon bracelets...wonder if I'll need them when reading this one.... *-*  Review coming later this year...

The Not So Wicked, Wicked Witch! by Amy Carter
(courtesy of the author)
Love the delivery on this one, as in the actual package contents...came with a pink boa that matches the "witch" shown on the cover!  Review coming this October...

A new YA lit selection to indulge in...stay tuned for the blog tour swinging through next month with your chance to win!

Twelve Months by Steven Manchester

Lovely cover, is it not?  What would you do if you only had twelve months left in your life?  Good question and a literary journey I'll be taking later this year...

Ghost Town by Jason Hawes and Grant Wilson

Release Date: October 9th, 2012

Thoroughly enjoyed my first romp through the Ghost Hunters fiction adventure....can't wait to see what's in store this time around.

Penguin's Hidden Talent by Alex Latimer
I Want to Help by Diane Adams

The first is out now and the second is coming this September.  All I can say is that I can't wait to check out the stories within because the artwork definitely has my attention.

The Landing by John Herrick
Release Date: August 28th, 2012
(courtesy of the author)
You may remember that once upon a time I reviewed another title from this author...if not, feel free to seek it out.  The book was called From the Dead.  High hopes for this novel; fingers crossed.
