In My Mailbox 9.11.11 (Debut IMM!)
In My Mailbox was created by Kristi at The Story Siren because:
"I get books to read and then ultimately share my thoughts about with my readers. As much as I want to, I can’t possibly read every book I receive. Yet, I still wanted a way to feature those books on the blog, even though it might not be in the form of a review. Problem solved! Every week I'd share the books I received that week... ones I'd bought, or gotten at the library, and ones that I'd receive to review on the blog. That way I could mention titles that might not otherwise get some face-time on The Story Siren..."
I find the same thing happening at A Backwards Story. I'm so backed up on reviews atm...including most of the ones for the readathon. Heck, I still have reviews from earlier this YEAR about books that I enjoyed but don't remember well enough to review accurately anymore such as RED GLOVE by Holly Black and DARK MIRROR by M.J. Putney. That's why I like these videos!

This is my first IMM. I've been previously doing these posts once a month as Book Loot. We'll see how this goes...! I actually filmed this one early and posted it on time, so maybe...!
Great haul! I've had Seven Tears into the Sea on hold from the library FOREVER but the only copy they have was lost. :/

ReplyDeleteBack from Florida. Good haul of books. I didn't get much this week in the way of books. I know what you mean by being behind in reviews. Old follower saying hello.
ReplyDeleteEEeep! I LOVE your mailbox. Touch of Frost was fun, I thought. It touches on a lot of the lesser-known gods and goddesses, which I thought was neat.
ReplyDeletePlain Kate and The Princess Curse are both Special Shelf books for me! I hope you love them as much as I do :) (Get ready to CRY with Plain Kate!)
