In My Mailbox (10)

In My Mailbox was started by Kristi of  The Story Siren.

 

Well, since it’s been a while since I posted an IMM and I have tons of books to show I will try to post about all of them during the next IMM posts so that you can see all the amazing books I’ve been reading during the time I was away from the blog.

First of all I’ll show you what I got this week, which isn’t much but I’m very excited about:

For Review

*Passing Strange by Daniel Waters 

3rd in the Generation Dead series. I’m really excited about this book because I absolutely love both Generation Dead and Kiss of Life (click on the names to read my reviews of the books). For those not familiar with the series I’ll tell you they have zombies, discrimination, romance and adventure. These are books you just have to discover since they talk about a society not so different from our (if you take the zombie thing away^^)
