In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted over at the lovely blog The Story Siren. The point is to blog about books that you have somehow procured during the week!
I haven't done an IMM in FOREVER. Mostly its because I was in California all summer. Now that I am back I was able to film a vlog and go through all my new books! Unfortunately this vlog is super duper long. I blame it on the fact that I had like a bajillion books to go through..... So if you want to see me embarrass myself, talk about how a book cover reminds me of mormons, and watch as I do an impression of my mother (a poor one at that) and talk about her hilarious obsession with Josh Hutcherson/Peeta Mellark then view on! Otherwise, just scroll to the bottom for the list of bookish goodness. Though I would HIGHLY recommend that you at least skip ahead to around 15:30 when I start talking about the whole mom/Josh Hutcherson thing. Its hilarious. XD

Amazing books!
ReplyDeleteI had hope that one of my Borders would stay open too because two of them closed before the last one did. :( Boo!!
I want to buy Delirium's special edition cover one. I have the regular one and right now at Borders, they're the old cover. :(
Happy reading!
Wow, that is a massively awesome book week you just had!!
ReplyDeleteBlood Red Road was pretty epic. I'm sure you'll love it. Delirium is on my wishlist. Enjoy, Julia :)!
ReplyDeleteGoodness, your mailbox is really huge but it makes sense if it's two months worth of stuff. You won a bunch of stuff too. I'm ashamed to say since I have a copy and it's in my tbr pile but thanks for showing Forgotten without the cover flap. You're right, it looks awesome! Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteWow, huge haul! So many good books---Forgotten and Wither were both amazing, and I loved Clarity, too. Hope you enjoy all of these!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely loved Looking for Alaska, so I hope you enjoy it too! And what a huge amount of books you got - I'm jealous. :)
ReplyDeleteOkay, your mom has to do a video review of THG movie when it releases. That'll be hilarious!
ReplyDeleteI'm drooling for that poster!
Nice set of books this week. I really want to read Wither
ReplyDeleteHappy reading,
