The Story Siren: In My Mailbox (90)

Sunday, August 1, 2010 at 12:00 AM

Welcome to In My Mailbox! You can find out how to participate and the "official" details on the IMM page.

IMM is a meme I started here at The Story Siren with some inspiration from Alea of Pop Culture Junkie.
The idea behind IMM was not only to put new books on your radar but to also encourage blogger interaction. IMM explores the weekly contents of my mailbox & books bought. And sometimes other fun goodies.

Anyone can participate in IMM and you are not limited to only sharing books that arrive via your mailbox. You can also share books that you've bought or books that you've gotten at the library.

For Review:

Fallout by Ellen Hopkins
Love, Sucks by Melissa Francis
Linger by Maggie Stiefvater
Pretty Dead by Francesca Lia Block

Bought:

The Darkest Lie by Gena Showalter
Linger by Maggie Stiefvater (UK edition)

Julianna Steffens said...: Ooo your stopmotion was so cool!!!
When I made my intention was to get pictures but also the flash on my camera broke and I ended up playing only with the vectors in the computer.
It was very very cool! Must have given a lot of work to organize all these frames.; August 1, 2010 12:01 AM

Book Sake said...: Everytime I see Linger, I pick it up to buy it...I sooo want to read it. Just too many other books on the bookshelve at the moment. It's like denying myself chocolate! - Jessica; August 1, 2010 9:18 AM
Sarah Laurence said...: Why did you buy the UK version of Linger? Was it because of the green ink in the US version? It put me off buying it even though the cover was gorgeous. I'm still on the fence about buying it. I did buy Shiver. The navy blue ink was easier to read.; August 1, 2010 9:41 AM

Megan Hoover-Swicegood said...: Just so ya know - I've become totally obsessed w/ Vampire Academy thanks to your review of the most recent book. I actually went out and bought two of them this past week because there was a wait list at my library (I almost never buy books - I always borrow them from the library). Thanks for the recommendation.; August 1, 2010 3:39 PM

squinto said...: Love your vlog! So creative. :D And wow, I am loving that UK edition of Linger--it has a menacing kind of feel to it, like a dark threat is just looming in the distance. I should definitely get around to reading Shiver first though!

And wow, Ellen Hopkins and Francesca Lia Block. So jealous! I hope you have a fun week!; August 2, 2010 1:23 AM
