In My Mailbox #14

I got some great books at the library this week. Even I was surprised at the fantastic books that were available. I got:

Amy & Roger's Epic Detour by Morgan Matson

Roadtrip fun! Can't wait to read this one.

Corsets & Clockwork: 13 Steampunk Romances by Various Authors

Everyone knows Steampunk is the new 'thing' and this collection of short stories seems like a good way to get into it. It's also a good way to be introduced to some of these authors: Maria V. Snyder, Caitlin Kittredge, Dia Reeves and others.

Hunting Lila by Sarah Alderson

This is a 2011 debut and looks good!

Bumped by Megan McCafferty

I almost screamed when I saw this. I'm a huge fan of the Jessica Darling series and although I know this is very different, I'm hoping to love it, too.

Forbidden by Tabitha Suzuma

I've heard so much about this; I really just have to read it myself and see what I think.

Oh, and - before I forget - I did actually buy a book this week:

Hold Me Closer, Necromancer by Lish McBride

It's for a bookclub!

That's everything! What did you all get this week?

Q. If you could change the ending of any book (or series), which book would you choose? And, why?

Although series like Harry Potter and The Hunger Games, didn't end with every single thing exactly as I'd want it, apart from removing the epilogues of both (just thought there were unnecessary), I wouldn't really change anything from the stories the authors wanted to tell. I think one of the few times where I felt great upset and deep injustice at the end of a book, was back in school reading Thomas Hardy's Tess of the D'Urbervilles. If I could change a book's ending, it would be that one. I'd want Angel to take the blame for Alec's murder, as his way of making up for how crappy he was to Tess and Tess herself would get away and go on to live a happy and fulfilled life.
