There are so many new "Look at my new books!" memes that I'm having troubles choosing. I know a few of the hosts personally and I don't feel like picking teams on this one. So, I introduce my own conglomeration of all the memes out there! If you're hosting a similar meme or if one of your friends hosts one, let me know and I'll add their graphic (:
I'm currently on a book-buying ban since I have a TBR Hill to get through. These are all of my new books of the last two weeks. I'm doing great, right? My boyfriend and I are celebrating our 1,5 year anniversary next Saturday (and I know he will buy me books :D) so next week I'll have a bit more to show you.

Review:
I heard awesome stuff about this book from its publisher on The London Book Fair, so when it was available on Netgalley for read-now I just had to request it. Haven't started it yet, but it looks really good.
I love the cover for this one. It's slightly cartoon-y but very mysterious at the same time. The blurb sounds absolutely amazing!
So what do you have in your mailbox, on your shelf or to showcase? Leave a comment with your link so I can visit you back!

Aww, I should be on a book buying ban as well because a, I'm broke and b, I have a huge mountain to get through. :D Also, happy anniversary in advance!
A book buying ban is a good idea, I'm not quite at the point of having to have one on myself yet. You are definitely doing great, and (early) congrats on being together 1.5 years :)
I'm participating in the Showcase Sunday here: http://kelseysclutteredbookshelf.wordpress.com/2012/05/13/showcase-sunday-1/
Book-buying ban? I start one of those every Sunday and by Monday evening it's all gone a little bit wrong!
Happy Anniversary - so awesome having a BF that buys books for presents!
My Sunday Wrap Up
I thought about getting Code Name Verity, too! But then I realized that I'm not even allowed to get any more review copies actually. Argh. On a book-requesting ban, and partly on a book-buying ban.. Not that it ever worked so far. Argh!
Good luck and Happy Reading!

I love the covers of Code Name Verity and Blackwood and they both look really interesting. Hope you enjoy them.
There really are a lot of new memes, I had a hard time deciding myself.
I loved Code Name Verity so much! It's a book that rewards patience, not a quick read for sure, but I will never forget it.
Here's my Showcase Sunday
Oh, and I'm a new follower.
Happy Anniversary in advance. And yes my TBR is mountainous right now. Thank God they are ebooks mostly, otherwise I would be thrown out of my house right now.
Lovely books. I have to read those too. Happy reading!
My Showcase Sunday
Blackwood looks really good! Enjoy :)

Here's what I've got!
Great books! I can't wait to read Code Name Verity - it sounds fantastic! I have only heard good things about it.
Happy Anniversary, too! :)
Steph @ Stepping Out of the Page
I want to read Code Name Verity so bad. I love historical fiction and I think it's going to be great! I also want to read Blackwood so bad! All that mystery surrounding Roanoke! Great books this week! New follower :) Happy reading! Check out my shelves:

Hope you enjoy
My Showcase Sunday
I have heard good things about Code Name Verity too. But I have a TBR mountain that I should be reading and don't need to add anything else to it. Here are my new book posts at Ms.
Martin Teaches Media and Inside
of a Dog. Happy reading!
Thanks! ^^ It's quite hard to keep up, but my bookshelves are very happy with it. They're waayyy too crowded
Hehe, thanks Kelsey! (: It took a while for me to be ready for it, but I think after counting all of my unread books I realised that it's time to stop buying more
Haha, I've tried about everything - I even made up point systems to make sure I read other books before I bought new ones. But after I found out I have 117 unread books I realised that I had to try it now for real (:
Thanks (: It totally is, he's awesome <3 He buys me books and loves it when I read. It's like a book lover's dream.
Thanks! They do look pretty great (:
Yeah, I don't like to choose between them.
I'm glad to hear you liked Code Name Verity! I like the occasional slow book, as long as the story is engaging (:
Thanks for following! <3
Thanks Pragya! Oh, thank god for ebooks. I'm not even counting those, that would probably double my unread books number.
Thanks! ^^ Haha, I'm glad you think my book buying ban is awesome. I'm afraid some people are going to find my mailbox posts very, very boring.
I so am. Especially now I know I won't be buying books for a very long time, I'm suddenly very hungry for some new ones. Thanks! (:
Looking forward to hear what you think of Code Name Verity ^^
Yay, thanks (: Me too - the only criticism I've heard so far is that some people found it slow. I can deal with a little slowness in books. Thanks for stopping by Steph ^^
It does! Thanks for stopping by
Thanks Nat! Hope you enjoy Verity (:
I've bee seeing Code Name Verity everywhere! I hope you enjoy it. :)
Here's Mine @ Pinkindle Reads & Reviews
I almost requessted Code Name Verity, but then decided against it because my tbr shelf (and collection on my Kindle) is way too huge as it is. ;( Hope it's going to be great!
Patricia // My Week
I was also having trouble choosing which meme to participate in... who knows, I might switch it up every once in a while. I have also heard great things about Code Verity!
Code Name Verity sounds really good and I've heard really awesome things about it! :) I hope you enjoy your books! :)
Eileen @ ***Singing and Reading in the Rain***Check out My Stacking the Shelves post!
Blackwood - nice! I got that one a few weeks ago too. It's next on my list of books to read! I hope you enjoy it - I'll look forward to your review!
Here's what I got this week!
Thanks Angie!
Aww, I hear you. I'm only on the book-buying ban, and a partial book-requesting ban. I'm doing good on the not buying thing, but not requesting is hard. I just try to stay away from Netgalley xD
Thanks! (:
I love historical fiction too, although I usually stay clear of WW II ones, because we were absolutely slapped dead with it in high school. This one sounds pretty awesome though (:
Thanks for the follow, that's very much appreciated <3
Hehe, I love following your progress on the TBR mountain Kathy (: Thanks for stopping by!
Apparently Disqus doesn't like you, but I found your comments in the spam folder ):
I love the cover for Verity too! That's what convinced me I had to request this book anyway, even though I wasn't planning on it. Thanks for stopping by Jess (:
That would work pretty good too (: I'm actually being quite sneaky. This way I get traffic from all three the memes. Don't tell anyone though!
Thanks Eileen! (:
Thanks Ashley! I'm looking forward to hear what you think of it too. It looks so good! (:
