Mailbox Monday (10)

I'm back this week linking up with Mailbox Monday, which was started by Marcia formerly of the Printed Page, and this month is hosted by the official Mailbox Monday blog. I don't have many books to share, but I'm so excited to read this books, and hopefully they're ones that you have or maybe will enjoy as well.

Queen by Right by Anne Easter Smith
I absolutely LOVED Anne Easter Smith's first book A Rose for the Crown (unfortunately read before the blog, so it's never been reviewed). While I did enjoy here second, The King's Grace I wasn't nearly as obsessed with it as I was her first. So I know I'm going to love this one, the real question I guess is just how much.

Divergent by Veronica Roth
I've been waiting to read this one since even before it came out, and I'm finally getting to it. It's actually my book club's selection this month, and I'm so glad it's finally forcing me to read it. But with everything I've heard about it, I only hope it lives up to all the hype I've given it.

When was the last time you read a book that didn't quite live up to the hype? And what do you have in your mailbox this week?

    So excited you're reading DIVERGENT! I wish I had known you hadn't read it yet, and I would have sent it to you. Let me know when you're ready for INSURGENT--I am sure I have an extra copy lol

    Across the Universe was the last big disappointment. I read it because of the hype. So many bloggers saying how fantastic it was. I find many new reads because of other bloggers but man they failed me then. I hated it.

    The last big book that didn't live up to its hype for me was The Hunger Games. Enjoy your new books!

    I don't encounter this problem often. The only one I can think of is "The Best Little Girl in the World" I can't remember who wrote it but it wasn't nearly as good as everyone had made it sound.

    I loved Divergent and Insurgent - I think I might actually like that series better than the Hunger Games.

    Queen by Right sounds so good! Historical fiction is my favorite!
