In My Mailbox (#63)

In My Mailbox was created by Kristi at The Story Siren. It's a perfect way to see who's reading and review what. Awesome! 

Hello, lovely followers!  I am back, you lucky things you.  Ok, just kidding.  Not about being back - I am SO back - but about you being lucky.  I know I'm not amazing enough for that! ;)

Anyways, after endless weeks of revision, I-lose-count of how much exams and one very particular, stressful, kinda terrifying and nerves racking experience of an exam, I am done. I am free.  I can now do fun stuff, like read, blog and talk/pester you guys instead of teachers or exam officers or... Um, who else do you only talk to in exam situations?  I mean, you're not meant to talk in them...  Um...  Never mind...

Anyways, I just wanna say 'hi!' and I hope for those of you who have had exams that they went well and for these of you waiting to sit them, good luck!  Though you won't need it.  If you're following my blog, you're obviously extremely clever. 

Sorry sorry.  Couldn't resist.  Examfreefulness has gone to my head.  Is making me cocky.  I am so sorry...

A bit more on topic, irony's a bicca (kinda obscure Buffy reference there: Willow spells out "B-I-T-C-H" and Giles says there's no need for spelling games and so Xander has to ask "What's a bicca?"  Bless his little cotton socks.)  I'm revising for a whole bunch of exams and so what does fate decide to do?  Send me a whole load of awesome books (both brought and for review) and then tease the hell outta me.  It's been like: "Look at us, with ours pretty shiny covers and our new, book-smelling pages and our unspoiled spines and our yummy yummy insides.  We are going to sit here and taunt you but you can't have us.  Oh no.  You have to revise, Meg.  So no touchy.  We aren't your preciouses..."

Oh. My. God.  Could I be any more of a nerd?

Um, apparently.  That was a Chandler Bing reference.  

I make myself sad.

Um...  Wait a sec.  Where was I?

Oh, yeah, I have been gone far far too long!  But I'm back!  And I have gotten some awesome books lately!  I even have a giveaway all lined up for you, you lucky things!  

But that's enough rambling.  It's so lovely to be back and I hope you're all well!

Oh, and keep an eye out for Fortnight of Guests - email me if you wanna sign up!  It's always fun and I'd love to get some new people involved!! :D

And sorry for this being on a Tuesday - it took me longer than expected to put together!  This is like over a month's worth of books... So...  Yeah...
