Awesome Book Mail - part 2

 

It's time to show the books Jeffe ordered for me, because I couldn't order them myself.
You'll notice they have a theme ;-)

The US hard cover of Nine Goblins!
Now I will confess a certain online retailer had it listed, but when I ordered it, it went in stasis for an undetermined time as is often the case when I preorder at that particular site, so I asked Jeffe to buy it for me as she was going to send a package anyway.


I confess I wanted this edition just for these end papers alone!

The other books were the Owlcrate editions of the Sworn Soldier books.
Yes! I already got my trotters on the amazing US hard covers, but just look at the pictures below! I could not resist.



What Moves the Dead








What Feasts at Night







What Stalks the Deep






I can tell you T. Kingfisher got her own shelf in my bookcase by now.


I hope you enjoyed seeing so many cool book mail pictures.
I promise I'll have reviews again next week

Teasing on a Wednesday - Sea of Charms

 

This sailboat was her freedom, her heart, her hope.
On the other hand, this was a plant.

(page 65, Sea of Charms ARC by Sarah Beth Durst)


---------

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, previously hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following: - Grab your current read - Open to a random page - Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!) - Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their  TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

Awesome Book Mail - part 1



I got the most amazing book mail at the end of February!
Jeffe sent a package with both presents and books she managed to get hold for me, because I couldn't order them myself.

First the presents!

There was an ARC of Sea of Charms by Sarah Beth Durst.
I'm reading it at the moment so check back soon for my thoughts on it.

Signed paperbacks of two of Jeffe's own books.

The UK edition of Never the Roses!
(It's bigger than the US hard cover.)

And it's purple!

The Owlcrate edition of Never the Roses!

There's notes and other illustrations on the cover.

And Bad Bunny!

It has pretty painted edges.

Illustrations on the end pages.


Another bunny.
And it's signed as well.

The dust cover is reversible and has gorgeous art as well.


Painted edges comparison.

And here are all my Never the Roses copies together!
(In June I'll have to make room for the US paperback to join them)

Thank you, Jeffe!


Stay tuned for part 2 of this book haul.
