In My Mailbox (34)

In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by The Story Siren, in which book bloggers post about the books they've bought, borrowed or received in the past week.


From the library, I took out four books: Amy and Roger's Epic Detour by Morgan Matson, Snow by Tracy Lynn, Book of a Thousand Days by Shannon Hale and Zel by Donna Jo Napoli. Amy and Roger's Epic Detour is the only book I took out that's not a fairy tale retelling. It's a road trip book and it looks really good, although I don't like the word epic. I have a funny feeling that I started to read Snow before, maybe 8 or 9 years ago. I definitely remember a book where the princess was named Jessica. I may not have finished just because something came up, not because I didn't like it. Also, my friends and I used to go to the library ever few weeks and come very close to our our library's limit: 30 books! You can bet a lot of these books went unread. Book of a Thousand Days looks really good, although I know little about it. Zel is a tiny book, and I read and enjoyed another book by the author, Daughter of Venice. 


This week The Extraordinary Education of Nicholas Benedict was released and I bought, read and reviewed it earlier in the week. It's a prequel to The Mysterious Benedict Society books, following the society's founder as a child. Great book that's smart and fun.

    I really want to read Amy and Roger's Epic Detour! I'll also have to buy The Extraordinary Education of Nicholas Benedict when I get round to reading the trilogy :)

    I have seen Amy and Roger's Epic Detour a couple times but haven't added it to my TBR list yet, I will have to do that! Looks like a great summer read =) Snow also looks really interesting, such a pretty cover!

    Your review of The Extraordinary Education of Nicholas Benedict made me want to read the full series. And I've heard good things about Amy and Roger's Epic Detour, but haven't yet read it. I look forward to your review!

    Hi,

    Amy and Roger's Epic Detour is brilliant I loved it. I read it in the middle of a run of quite sad books and really really enjoyed it! I hope you do to.
