In My Mailbox is a meme created by The Story Siren and inspired by Alea of Pop Culture Junkie! It is a list of what books you have received over the previous week, either in the mail, from the bookstore, from the library, or from trades. =]
For review:
–Dream Life by Lauren Mechling
–Dizzy In Your Eyes: Poems About Love by Pat Mora
–The Vinyl Princess by Yvonne Prinz
–Very LeFreak by Rachel Cohn
Won:
–The Dark Divine by Bree Despain (signed to me!)
–Scones And Sensibility by Lindsay Eland (signed!)
That’s it for this week. Not too many but some awesome books. I have already read The Dark Divine and loved it. The rest are ones that I have seen around that look interesting. I guess I should probably read Dream Girl before Dream Life. =]

In My Mailbox 47
In My Mailbox is a meme created by The Story Siren and inspired by Alea of Pop Culture Junkie! It is a list of what books you have received over the previous week, either in the mail, from the bookstore, from the library, or from trades. =]
For review:
–Dream Life by Lauren Mechling
–Dizzy In Your Eyes: Poems About Love by Pat Mora
–The Vinyl Princess by Yvonne Prinz
–Very LeFreak by Rachel Cohn
Won:
–The Dark Divine by Bree Despain (signed to me!)
–Scones And Sensibility by Lindsay Eland (signed!)
That’s it for this week. Not too many but some awesome books. I have already read The Dark Divine and loved it. The rest are ones that I have seen around that look interesting. I guess I should probably read Dream Girl before Dream Life. =]
