In My Mailbox #20

In My Mailbox is a weekly meme created by Kristi @ The Story Siren. All links go to the Book Depository UK.

I got my lost my NetGalley cherry this week and received my first book for review:

Crave by Melissa Darnell
I know it's vampires (again) but making the protagonist a female vamp is still quite rare in YA. I'm interested in what the author does with this premise.


I also received a book in a swap with ReadItSwapIt:

The Half-Life of Planets by Emily Franklin and Brendan Halpin
I first saw a review for this about a year ago and remembered the title. I didn't realise until I received this copy that it's written by the same authors of Jenna and Jonah's Fauxmance (which I haven't read but have heard a lot about, whereas I've heard very little about this one). I'm intrigued that this book has a teenage boy with Asperger's, who's a fan of Kirsty Maccoll - I hope it'll be good enough to recommend to my students with Asperger's and, well, I like Kirsty Maccoll, too.
