So this is kind of a rambly, rushed vlog. And I look like a dork...again. But anyhoo, I enjoy doing these, so I'm gonna keep doing them once in a while. :) And hopefully I learn how to not seem weird. And idiotic. And...yeah, weird.

Hey guys! Happy Sunday. Hope you all had a fantastic weekend!

This week was a slow one in terms of books for me. Once again, I bought one book, and that book was...

The Necromancer by Michael Scott.
This one just came out a little while ago, and I think his books are amazing, really! The Immortal Secrets of Nicholas Flamel is one of the most original and unique series I've ever read, and I highly recommend picking them up if you haven't tried them before.

What'd you guys get in your mailboxes?

Hi everyone! Hope you all had a great week.

Sadly, this week I only got one book because I went to the bookstore (to get that extra book for my Summer Contest!) and I couldn't resist picking this one up to. I had some doubts about reading it before, but I've heard so many great things about it, that I couldn't help myself!

I bought...

The Carrie Diaries - Candace Bushnell

That's all for this week - but I still have a HUGE TBR pile to get through!
Sooo...what'd you guys get this week? :)

Hey everyone! Hope you had a great weekend - summer's just begun, so it should be awesome!

Okay...so this is my first vlog. I'm pretty sure I look/sound somewhat retarded, so forgive me for that :) Also, I did this on Photobooth so anything I hold up is backwards...I'm so sorry about that! I'm not sure if I'll be doing vlogs for my future IMM posts - but let me know what youguys think about this! If you like this vlog, let me know and I'll think about doing it next week too, okay? :)

Hey everyone! So sorry this IMM post is late, but here it is now!
You all know it by now -- In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by Krisi of The Story Siren, inspired by Alea of Pop Culture Junkie.

I ACTUALLY GOT A BOOK IN THE MAIL THIS WEEK!! I recently won a contest over at The Undercover Book Lover for a copy of My Invisible Boyfriend by Susie Day. It came in the mail on Wednesday, and it's SIGNED. Which makes it my first author-signed book! I'm so happy about that! Lookie!!

I can't wait to start it :)

I also bought three books on my Sony eReader:

Sisters in Sanity - Gayle Forman
Good Girls - Laura Ruby
Wolves, Boys, and Other Things That Might Kill Me - Kristen Chandler

So that's what I got in my mailbox this week. Let me know what you got in yours!

P.S. I currently have a little poll on the sidebar there, and I would really appreciate you guys answering it! I think so far, vlogs are kind of winning (at least, they are if you're counting the way I am) and if it keeps winning for the rest of the week, I'll do a vlog for my IMM post next week, okay? :)
Oh, and as you can see, my blog got a bit of a makeover :) I wasn't completely happy with the way it was before, but now it's exactly the way I want it to be and I'm so glad about that. Thanks to Blogger Design Templates! XD
So you guys mind telling me what you think of the new layout?

This week I have a ton of stuff! This is gonna be a loong post. I kinda went a bit crazy with my Sony eReader, seeing as how, now I've gotten a Kindle, it'll be my brother's before long. I also went to the bookstore and bought a book I've been wanting for a long time!

Review: (via netGalley)



So that's what I got this week. What about you?

Hello everyone! So I've decided to just do my IMM posts whenever I feel like it, though they'll probably be around Sunday/Monday (:

Anyway, this week was AMAZINGLY AWESOME in books for me! I got a ton of things and I'm thrilled to read them!

Hey guys! It's Monday again, and that means another IMM post (: In My Mailbox was started by Kristi at The Story Siren and inspired by Alea of Pop Culture Junkie.

Okay, so I only got one book this week. I went the bookstore and I found this book! It doesn't release in the US until June, so it seems like an ARC, but it's not (just thought I should clear that up), but evidently it's already released over here in Hong Kong!

Bought:



The Glass Demon -- Helen Grant

So that's all for this week! What did you get in your mailbox?
