Nocturnal Book Reviews: In my mailbox #3

In my mailbox #3

Sunday, September 18, 2011 | Posted by kara-karina@Nocturnal Book Reviews

Gah! Another week flew by. And it's all very dark and rainy here. I'm seriously considering buying a pair of wellington boots to cheer myself up...

Пролетела ещё одна неделя. Грустно. У нас темно и дождливо да так, что я серьёзно надумываю купить веллингтоны прям как у Анжелины здесь...

Вот что в моём почтовом ящике.

Anyway, here is what's in my mailbox this week.

Egalleys

Edinburgh. The year is 1827. A police officer. Mad alchemists. Undead. Sounds right up my alley, doesn't it?

Эдинбург. 1827 г. Полицейский. Безумные алхимики. Живые мертвецы. Звучит прям как моё чтиво, не правда ль?

UK book swap group, from wonderful Lesley@ My Keeper Shelf

I love Ally Carter's girls-spies. Something tells me I'll love her girls -professional thieves as well. I'm hoping for a female version of Cassel Sharpe from The Curse Workers series by Holly Black.

Я люблю девчонок-шпинок у Алли Карер. Думаю, что девчонки -профессиональные воришки мне тоже придутся по душе.

Bought/Купленное

I could never resist Gordon and Ilona's writing, and this sounds wonderfully sci-fi.

Ну мимо Илоны и Гордона Эндрюс я пройти не могу, к тому же это научная фантастика.

For review/На ревью

I'm keeping this one as my Halloween treat as this is a modern twist to a Sleepy Hollow story.

На ревью неплохая история для Хэллоуина с пересказом Cонной Лощины. Как раз к концу октября и прочтём-с.

Freebies/Бесплатные книги

A soufragette leader being seduced to tarnish her politically? I was intrigued.

Суфражистка, которую пытается сооблазнить фотограф, которому заплатили, чтобы обесчестить её репутацию. Хм-м, интересно. Ссылки на бесплатные книги см.выше.

Beautiful cover, year 1929, new era of opportunities for women. I couldn't resist this book.

Красивая обложка, 1929 год. Красивая сумасшедшая эпоха. Не удержалась. Ссылки на бесплатные книги выше.

А что в вашем почтовом ящике?
