Mailbox Monday

Thank you to Marcia at The Printed Page for hosting Mailbox Monday every week.

My mailbox was smiling this week and so was I, with 3 books arriving :-)
How about you?


Miracle in Sumatra: The Story of Gutsy Gus by Jeanne McNaney
- from publisher for review.
I'm really looking forward to this one, it looks like a beautiful book.

Deep in the jungles of Sumatra there lives a courageous little orangutan named Gutsy Gus. One day, when Gus is out playing, his parents are captured by animal trappers, and it's up to Gus to rescue them. With the help of a guardian angel named Gabriella and a brave little girl named Maya, Gus fights for his parents' freedom and proves that even one small orangutan can make a big difference.


I've been wanting to read this YA book for a little while now and I was lucky enough to receive it from my Secret Santa, Thanks


The Adoration of Jenna Fox by Mary E. Pearson

Seventeen-year-old Jenna Fox has just awoken from a year-long coma—so she’s been told—and she is still recovering from the terrible accident that caused it. But what happened before that? She’s been given home movies chronicling her entire life, which spark memories to surface. But are the memories really hers? And why won’t anyone in her family talk about the accident? Jenna is becoming more curious. But she is also afraid of what she might find out if she ever gets up the courage to ask her questions. What happened to Jenna Fox? And who is she really?



Wicked Game by Lisa Jackson & Nancy Bush
From J. Kaye @ J. Kaye's Book Blog for a Read-a-Long in January

Twenty years ago, wild child Jessie Brentwood vanished from St. Elizabeth's high school. Most in Jessie's tight circle of friends believed she simply ran away. Few suspected that Jessie was hiding a shocking secret - one that brought her into the crosshairs of a vicious killer...Two decades pass before a body is unearthed on school grounds and Jessie's old friends reunite to talk. Most are sure that the body is Jessie's, that the mystery of what happened to her has finally been solved. But soon, Jessie's friends each begin to die in horrible, freak accidents that defy explanation...Becca Sutcliff has been haunted for years by unsettling visions of Jessie, certain her friend met with a grisly end. Now the latest deaths have her rattled. Becca can sense that an evil force is shadowing her too, waiting for just the right moment to strike. She feels like she's going crazy. Is it all a coincidence - or has Jessie's killer finally returned to finish what was started all those years ago?

  14. I finished reading The Adoration of Jenna Fox recently. It's been on my TBR for a while but I finally read it! :) I thought it was okay...well, the ending was quite a shocker for me.

    The book managed to pull me in in certain parts but overall, it's alright. I'd like to read your review of it! Here's the link to mine.
