In My Mailbox (53)

Sunday, November 8, 2009 at 12:00 AM

In My Mailbox explores the contents of my mailbox on a weekly basis. Of course I only mention the really cool things, like books! If you would like to participate and have your own “In My Mailbox” post, you can find more information here. (This post was inspired by Alea of Pop Culture Junkie.)

So, I had a vlog all ready to go, with Xander visits and everything.... and for some reason, I can't get it to upload on my computer. I'm so very ticked! Grrr.... my computer has been crap this week.

Instead, I have a picture montage of the goodies I received this week.

These are the books I recieved for review.... such pretty covers!

Splendor (Luxe series) by Anna Godberson
Shadowland (Immortals series) by Alyson Noel
Envy (Luxe series) by Anna Godberson
What I Wore to Save the World by Maryrose Wood (this is a series too)

I also won a contest at Becca Fitzpatrick's blog, I don't usually enter contest because 1.) I have horrible luck. 2.) I don't have enough room for the books I have!

But this was for a tank top! Here it is in all it's glory:

There was also a signed post card from Becca! How cool!!

I also got my business cards this week. I got these for free for hosting a contest for UPrinting.com. They're cute. And I can't really complain because they were free.

I did buy one book this week too:

Frommer's New York City 2010..... (why yes I am that anal!)

And just because I think the cover to What I Wore to Save the World is so cool.... here is is again:

And here's a picture of Xander I took today. He went and played and grandma and grandpa's today with his bestest buddy Tia so he is rather tired.

Okay so now you know what's in mine, what did you get in yours? You can sign the Mr. Linky below, if you would, please link your actual IMM post not your blog url, so that it is easier to find! Thanks!

Jill said...: Great Week! Sorry about the vlog though. Maybe next week blogger will actually choose to work correctly....
O and I totally agree; that cover is gorgeous. I think with each new book in the series the cover gets prettier.

By the way, those business cards turned out great!

I hope you enjoy all your wonderful books!

Melanie said...: Very cool, Kristi. I love the pictures.

If someone were going to buy business cards from Uprinting, would you recommend them? I've been considering buying some, so I'm wondering about their quality.

Cat said...: You did not get the newest Maryrose Wood book, you did NOT! Ahhh! I adore these books and have been so impatient waiting for this one. :) It's soooo pretty. ;)

Also (and of course) - XANDER! Goodness his head is huge. What a cute, yet surly looking pup he is in that photo. He was probably staring down your computer with that look saying "Look, shee? You'd better upload my mommy's video, shee? There are some people who are waiting to shee me, shee? Don't make me call my boyz." Oooh! He totally needs a cigar and a fedora in that shot!

Er.. haven't had my morning tea yet, so I'll just be on my way now. Lest you think I am too crazy to room with. Ha! Oh, and you'd better study that guide book well, I shall rely on your wisdom in May!; November 8, 2009 8:50 AM
