In My Mailbox (34)

In My Mailbox was started by Kristi of The Story Siren and inspired by Alea of Pop Culture Junkie. Sadly the only books I order are those that are hard to find. The following books are from the library and bookstores.

Title: Bones of Faerie1
Publication Date: 2009
Synopsis: "The war between humanity and Faerie devastated both sides. Or so 15-year-old Liza has been told. Nothing has been seen or heard from Faerie since, and Liza’s world bears the scars of its encounter with magic. Trees move with sinister intention, and the town Liza calls home is surrounded by a forest that threatens to harm all those who wander into it. Then Liza discovers she has the Faerie ability to see—into the past, into the future—and she has no choice but to flee her town. Liza’s quest will take her into Faerie and back again, and what she finds along the way may be the key to healing both worlds."

After years of self-sacrificing dedication to her position, The Rowan intercepts an urgent mental call from Jeff Raven, a young Prime Talent on distant Deneb.

Title: Tattoo4

Series: Bailey (book 1)
Publication Date: 2007
Synopsis: "Bailey Morgan isn't the type of girl who shows a lot of skin, but somehow, she ends up in a dressing room at the mall with her friend Delia applying a temporary tattoo to her lower back. Never one to suffer fashion doubt, trendsetter Delia knows exactly where she wants her own tattoo: on her stomach, right where her shirt ends—can you say "midriff"? Annabelle, the quiet one, chooses the back of her neck, and tomboy Zo plasters hers on the top of her foot. The tattoos will last for three days, and Delia's sure that with them, the four friends will absolutely kill at the school dance."

This week I would like to thank Ashley of Books Obsession, I won Bones of Faerie from her. I would also like to thank Adrienne of An Addicted Book Reader, who I won a signed Shadow Hills book mark from.
On to my library picks of the week. This week I picked up The Rowan by Anne McCaffrey, Tattoo by Jennifer Lynn Barnes, and VOL 1 of The Dalemark Quartet featureing Cart and Cwidder and Drowned Ammet by Diana Wynne Jones.
Well, that's all for me this week in books. Cannot wait to see what everyone else got.
