It's time for an IMM! My first one of this month actually. (I've been slacking on blog stuff too much!) I think I'm just going to feature books I've gotten very recently though. It would be too many otherwise.
So here we go:
1. Caged Moon by Rachel Deagan: I've already read this and loved it. My review will be up on Wednesday. Also, maybe a giveaway... :D
2. American Born Chinese by Gene Luen Yang: I've already read this one too. Review up next week probably.
3. The Eternal Smile by Gene Luen Yang and Derek Kirk Kim: Again, I finished this one yesterday. Weirdest graphic novel EVER.
4. The Humming Room by Ellen Potter (ARC): Haven't started it yet. I will try to read it this month though so I can have a review up on the release date!
5. The Night She Disappeared by April Henry (ARC): I read this in one day. It doesn't come out till April though, so no review for awhile. (IT WAS AMAZING.)
6/7. Fruits Basket V.1&2 by Natsuki Takaya
That's it for me this week! What did you get in your mailbox? Let me know in the comments or leave a link to your IMM and I'll be sure to check it out. :)

It's IMM time! In My Mailbox is hosted by Kristi @ The Story Siren; it's where bloggers talk about the books that they've bought, borrowed, or received for review.
This week I made a trip to the library, and received a surprise book in the mail. (Who doesn't like that??")
These are the books I got at the library:
1. Dash and Lily's Book of Dares by David Levithan and Rachel Cohn
2. Please Ignore Vera Dietz by A.S. King
3. The Future of Us by Jay Asher and Carolyn Mackler
And I got this book in the mail:
The Power of Habit (Why We Do What We Do and How to Change It)

In My Mailbox (17) The Day After Christmas Edition
2:00 PM | Posted by
Alexis Ladig
IMM time! And this IMM is extra special because it's the day after Christmas. No matter what holiday you celebrate, I hope you had/are having a great one. :)
Of course In My Mailbox is hosted by Kristi @ The Story Siren.This week I got a package full of amazingness, and a Sailor Moon manga that I have already finished. In like an hour. (I'm kind of a Sailor Moon fan-girl.)
I cannot even begin to talk about what's in the package of amazingness; from signed bookmarks to pins and pens and of course the Pledge poster (signed!). It's great. I want to do a little shout out to Ashley @ What's Your Story for hosting the giveaway where I won this from. :) (Please click the link and check her out!)
That's all for me this week. What did you get in your mailbox? Please let me know in the comments or leave a link to your IMM and I'll be sure to check it out.

It's In My Mailbox time! As always In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by Kristi @ The Story Siren. I haven't posted an IMM for two weeks because I haven't had anything IMM.
It was going to be that same way again this week, but to my surprise I did have something in my mailbox! It came about 30 minutes ago, and I was so excited that I had to jump on here and write an IMM!
(Insert drum-roll here.....)
It's Cinder by Marissa Meyer! I was really excited when I found out I got an ARC because I had no clue that they were sending me one. I think those are my favorite books, just because of the sheer excitement I get from ripping open a surprise package and diving right in.
What did you get in your mailbox? Just leave a comment letting me know or a link to your IMM and I'll be sure to check it out. :)

It's time for another In My Mailbox hosted by Kristi @ The Story Siren! In My Mailbox is a weekly meme where bloggers talk about the books they have bought, borrowed, or received for review in a week.
I was surprised by another doubled up ARC in my mailbox this week. I had used some "buzz bucks" (from Random Buzzers) to grab an ARC of You Have Seven Messages by Stewart Lewis, and apparently they had already decided to sent me one, so I got two copies!
:D

It's IMM time again folks! In My Mailbox is a weekly meme where book bloggers talk about the books that they have bought, borrowed, or received for review in a week. As always, IMM is hosted by Kristi @ The Story Siren.
This past week was huge for me. And I mean HUGE.
So instead of posting a picture for each book that I got, I decided that taking a group picture would be more efficient.... :D
1. The Lost Gate by Orson Scott Card
2. Off Armageddon Reef by David Weber
3. Warbreaker by Brandon Sanderson
4.Thirteen Orphans by Jane Lindskold
5. Fuzzy Nation by John Scalzi
6. Switched by Amanda Hocking (ARC)
7. Hmmm... Switched by Amanda Hocking (ARC)
8 . A Beautiful Friendship by David Weber
Not Pictured (Ebooks):
1. Crossed by Allie Condie
2. Bloodlines by Richelle Mead
3. Wither by Lauren DeStefano

This week for me was full of library stuff! (I <3 the library. Sometimes I wonder what I would even do without it.)
Here's what I got:
AudioBooks:
And that's all for me this week! What did you get in your mailbox? Just tell me in the comments or leave a link to your IMM and I'll be sure to check it out. Also, do you like audiobooks? I happen to be a fan, but I know some people don't care for them. I'm just curious. :)

For me, this week wasn't very that great. I got two books in the mail, which is amazing, but I was expecting a package with four books to arrive and it didn't. Next week will definitely be bigger because I'm expecting a package from Amazon. :) I was very excited to get the books that I did receive this week: An ARC Copy of Bitter End by Jenifer Brown, and a hardcover of Every You, Every Me by David Levithan.
Bitter End was actually an RAK (Random Acts of Kindness) that I was really excited to get. I'll be doing an RAK roundup post at the end of the month talking about RAK and what happened to me this month relating to it. (What and Who and all that jazz.)
So that is it for me this week. What did you get in your mailbox? Leave a comment letting me know or a link to your IMM and I'll be sure to check it out. :)
Happy Reading!

It's In My Mailbox time! In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by Kristi @ The Story Siren, where bloggers talk about the books they borrowed, bought, or received for review.
I got three books this week, and all of them came from my local library. I think Choker is the one I'm most excited for, just because of all the amazing reviews I've seen describing it as one of the most creepy books they have ever read. Sounds like it's right down my alley. I also got Demon Trapper's Daughter, which I've had on hold for almost a month. Finally, The Iron Witch, whose cover alone had me adding it to my stack. :)
If you want to know more about any of the above books, just click their cover; they are links to their Goodreads pages.

It's time for this week's In My Mailbox, an amazing meme hosted by Kristi @ The Story Siren where bloggers tell about the books they've borrowed, bought, or received for review.
No books for me this week, but two exciting things happened.
Exciting thing #1: I was awarded the Liebester Blog award from Escaping With Fiction! I had already received the award, but her blog is awesome and she deserves more followers than she actually has, so I thought I would give her a shout out as a thank you for the award. :)
Exciting thing # 2: I did receive something book related In My Mailbox: A SIGNED postcard for the upcoming YA paranormal short story collection Enthralled! It's signed by Jackson Pearce, author of As You wish, Sisters Red, and Sweetly. There are also 15 other authors including Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl, Rachel Vincent, and Kimberly Derting that have stories in there though, so I'm really excited. It comes out on the 20th of this month, and I'm definitely
adding it to my TBR list. Plus the cover is just beautiful!
(Click the cover to be taken to Enthralled's Goodreads page.)
