Teaser Tuesday #6: Dead Reckoning (Sookie Stackhouse/Southern Vampires #11) by Charlaine Harris

"Though I was looking out from the bright bar to the dark parking lot, there were lights out there, and something was moving...moving fast.  Toward the bar.  I had slice of a second to think Odd, and then caught the flicker of flame."

In My Mailbox #1

This is a meme created and sponsored by The Story Siren, where book bloggers can share books they have bought, taken out from the library and/or received for review.

This is my first In My Mailbox and it's a good one.  Mostly eBooks I did receive my hardcover copy of Dead Reckoning (Sookie Stackhouse/Southern Vampire Series #11) by Charlain Harris in the mail on Saturday...YAY!! You can still get it for $15.17 at Barnes & Noble and if you are a member...FREE Shipping holla!!

eBooks I downloaded include:

• The Strange case of Finley Jayne (Steampunk Chronicles #0.5) by Kady Cross (shown above on my nook)- This is the prequel to The Girl in the Steel Corset (Steampunk Chronicles #1) which will be released May 24th (you can watch the goosebump inducing trailer here) . I downloaded it for free at Barnes & Noble.
• The Book of Lost Souls by Michelle Muto (unfortunately I couldn't show this on my nook too so book cover is below) - Released March 6th I got it for $1.99 at Barnes and Noble. 

• To Kill a Warlock (Dulcie O'Neil #1) by H.P. Mallory (again couldn't really show more than one book at a time on my nook so the book cover is below)- I downloaded this little gem for only $0.99 from Barnes and Noble.

Now I own a Nook so I go to Barnes and Noble for all my eBook needs but make sure to check Amazon for these deals too, usually if B&N has it for sale so does Amazon.

Book Blogger Hop #1

Featured Questions: "What book are you most looking forward to seeing published in 2011? Why are you anticipating that book?"

There are so many: 

• Defiance (Strange Angels #4) by Lilith St. Crowe (4/19/2011) --> This is one of my favorite series and I am desperate to find out what happens to Dru and her friends.
• Dead Reckoning (Sookie Stackhouse #11) by Charlaine Harris (5/3/2011) --> I'm addicted to the Sookie Stackhouse novels, I will admit that I was left a little unsatisfied with the last installment but I'm hoping this next one will stand up to the Harris standard.
• What Happened to Goodbye by Sarah Dessen (5/10/2011) --> Dessen is one of my favorite authors, I read the first chapter to this and it sound phenomenal.
• Texas Gothic by Rosemary Clement-Moore (7/12/2011) --> Another one of my favorite authors, it feels like it's been forever since her last book although its only been 2 years.

There are many more but these are my top 4.

Waiting on Wednesday #4: Dead Reckoning (Sookie Stackhouse #11) by Charlaine Harris

Goodreads description:
"With her knack for being in trouble's way, Sookie witnesses the firebombing of Merlotte's, the bar where she works. Since Sam Merlotte is now known to be two-natured, suspicion falls immediately on the anti-shifters in the area. But Sookie suspects otherwise and she and Sam work together to uncover the culprit - and the twisted motive for the attack. But her attention is divided. Though she can't 'read' vampires, Sookie knows her lover Eric Northman and his 'child' Pam well - and she realises that they are plotting to kill the vampire who is now their master. Gradually, she is drawn into the plot -which is much more complicated than she knows. Caught up in the politics of the vampire world, Sookie will learn that she is as much of a pawn as any ordinary human - and that there is a new Queen on the board . . . "

If you absolutely love this series as much as I do and cannot wait for May 3rd to sink your teeth into this new installment no worries Charlaine Harris has posted a preview of the first chapter on her site, check it out.
