In My Mailbox (#64)


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! 





Ok, I seriously need to do IMMs more often.  This is getting ridiculous.  This is like a month of books - if not more!  Guys, if I don't do my next IMM next Sunday, will you all please email me and say: 'Hey, you lazy blogger!  Get your nose out of that book and do your flipping IMM!!'  Please?  I seriously need all the encouragement I can get cos otherwise I'll just read and not do anything!! ;)

Ok, so anyways: this is what I got this week/last few weeks/maybe a month/maybe two/don't really know how long/I need a calender.  But I can tell you something super exciting... Ok, two somethings that are super exciting.
First: It's my birthday tomorrow!  Yay me!
Second: And EVEN MORE EXCITING!!  Like six or seven of the people mentioned in this IMM are taking part in my Fortnight of Guests: The Authors... :D
Speaking of, check out my banner!

Seriously, though.  I need to do these more often.  Otherwise I get stuck doing the freaking mother of all IMMs and my head starts to hurt.
But anyway.  This is what I got.  Dare ya to guess who's taking part in Fortnight of Guests! :D

Woah, that is a ton of books! There's so many on there that I'm mega-excited to read myself, especially the Covenant series. I still need to read Throne of Glass, but I've heard Crown of Midnight is awesome, so I'll definitely be getting to that soon.

Happy reading, that lot should keep you pre-occupied for a little while! ;)

Looks like a boat load! I read "Inferno," as I read the rest of Dan Brown's books and while I wasn't fond of it, the concept will be something to check out. You have a lot and a lot of different kinds of books and for French AND English... WOW!
