Mailbox Monday (8)

Mailbox Monday is a book meme which is hosted by Marcia at Mailbox Monday blog.

Basically, we have to make a post featuring the books which we bought, received for review, or loaned this past week.

For a while I thought I wasn't going to have anything to report in this week's Mailbox Monday but a Kindle Daily Deal and a NetGalley request came through at the last minute! Here is what made it in to my house:

Personal Purchases:


I haven't read any books by McCammon before but a lot of my friends on Goodreads rave about him and he is recommended by Stephen King so I think I will like him. Unfortunately all of his books are really long and have generally been quite expensive which has put me off buying them but this one appeared on a Kindle Daily Deal for £1.29 this week and I thought it was too good to miss out on. I might allocate it as my Halloween read!

Swan Song: View on Amazon || View on Goodreads

Books for Review on NetGalley:


Everything I Never Told You: View on Amazon || View on Goodreads

Have you read any of these? If so, what did you think? If not, do any of them take your fancy?

  5. I don't think I would like Swan Song. I can't read Stephen King.

    Everything I Never Told You has such a great cover.

    ENJOY your reading week.

  6. Hi Sarah,

    Thank you for stopping by Fiction Books today. I love 'meeting' new people, so your visits will always be welcome and your comments always appreciated.

    I don't think that 'Swan Song' would be one for me, although I do quite like the cover art. I used to read a lot of the early Stephen King horror books, however since his writing has veered more and more towards the genre of fantasy, I have to admit I have kind of lost interest a bit. I do have fairly eclectic tastes in my reading, however fantasy isn't one of my preferred genres.

    'Everything I never Told You' is already on my 'Want To Read' list, as it has featured on one or two blogs just lately, although goodness knows when I shall get around to reading it.

    There are so many sources of great freebies these days, that I need never be lacking a good book to read!

    Thanks for sharing and have a good week,

    Yvonne.

    1. Yes King's books have taken a slight turn towards other genres. His most recent, Mr Mercedes, is a mystery/crime/suspense - nothing horror or fantasy about it so it might appeal to you. I thought it was fantastic.
