In My Mailbox #7

In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by The Story Siren, which allows bloggers to share what books they've borrowed, received in the mail or bought in the past week.
This week is my biggest book haul yet! I was so excited when all these goodies started arriving in the mail and here it all is:
Miscellaneous:

My Life Next Door by Huntley Fitzpatrick – Not only am I beyond looking forward to reading this, but this is my first ever ARC I’ve received which adds to the excitement! I swoon at romance, so I can’t wait to dive in. Plus in the blurb it mentions a twist and I’ve heard it’s pretty big! Thank you so much Huntley for sending me a copy, your too lovely!

Illuminate Bookmarks – For the Illuminate Swag Giveaway I held, Aimee sent me the goodies and along with the winners prize, sent me a few signed bookmark.

The Disenchantments Tattoos – 

Won:
After winning an amazing prize pack from Brodie and Lisa’s Valentine Blog Event, here’s a few of the things I won:
Storm by Brigid Kemmerer – This book looks amazing! And I’ve only heard wonderful things from, especially from a certain someone *cough* Brodie* cough*. I’m currently reading this and even though I haven’t read much it’s going great. Very much enjoying all the brothers - there’s four in total! :D
Forgotten by Cat Patrick – I read this book last year after and really enjoyed it, so I’m happy I now have a copy for my shelf.

Swag – A cover of Storm, Perception bookmark and a Kim Harrington bookplate, Under The Never Sky bookmarks and last but not least, Forgotten red heart-shaped notepads with the words ‘Things that shouldn’t be Forgotten’.
Gifted:
Shut Out by Kody Keplinger – The lovely Amy from Following the Reader gifted me this for my birthday! I’ve heard wonderful things about the author, so I cannot wait to jump in and finally experience one of her books!

Purchased:
Pretty Crooked by Elisa Ludwig – Yay! The book looks amazing and I can’t wait to read more about Willa, as what I’ve read about her so far through interviews has been awesome!
Wanderlove by Kirsten Hubbard – I just love books where traveling is involved and the things I’ve heard about this book make me want to just sit down and read it pronto! Plus, I’ve heard there are beautiful illustrations throughout the book, drawn by the author herself!

(A huge thanks to Huntley, Aimee, Nina, Brodie, Lisa and Amy! I cannot thank you guys enough!)
Phew! Now that that’s over, what did you get this week? What was the best bookish thing that completely made your week?
