New Booksies

Slide by Jill Hathaway

Cat Girl's Day Off by Kimberly Pauley

Burnt Ice by Steve Wheeler

Winter Be My Shield by Jo Spurrier

I have been hanging out all week hoping that some books flying their way to my mailbox would arrive so that I could a) read them and b) post pretty pictures of them. Alas, it was not to be. I suspect Easter is to blame. Nevertheless, I haven’t been completely bookless since my last IMM new booksies, even if my mailbox has been. I delayed my post-US book buying ban by buying Slide and I signed up to NetGalley and was lucky enough to receive some eARCs.

In the order in which they arrived in my possession:

• Slide by Jill Hathaway (already reviewed)
• Cat Girl’s Day Off by Kimberly Pauley (ARC, already reviewed)
• Burnt Ice by Steve Wheeler (ARC from HarperVoyager by debut Aussie author. I’m looking forward to getting into some new Aussie science fiction.)
• Winter Be My Shield by Jo Spurrier (ARC by another debut Aussie author. It’s been a while since I read a new Voyager epic fantasy novel — that is, not a sequel — so I’m really looking forward to this too. And, bonus, it will count towards AWW2012.)

Hopefully my mail books will magically appear in my mailbox soon and I can post some more pretty covers ;-p Hey, part of the fun having piles of books is looking at them, even if they only exist as pixels and bytes.
