Please remember that Google Doc do not update automatically like Mister Linky! I’ve had a few people express their dislike for the new system. I detest Mister Linky and will not go back to using it. If you have another suggestion please feel free to make it. However, in the end, I’m going to do what is the easiest for me.

I can't wait to read Vesper, The Running Dream, and Unearthly! Haven't started the Dark Divine series or the Hush, Hush series(forgot what the series was actually called). Sounds like you had a pretty good week!
Happy Reading
-
Awesome books! I just finished Unearthly myself, I absolutely loved it. Can't wait for the sequel. You have a lot of good reading ahead of you it looks like.
-
I am totally with you on that books need to be in nice condition thing! Although I do buy books secondhand. But only if they're in like new condition. Hehe.
Enjoy all your books! Vesper sounds really good. -
Aah that damaged book would annoy me so much. I'm crazy with keeping my books in like new condition. Hope you enjoy your books this week!
-
I'm really picky about the condition of my books as well. It might be a little weird but when I'm buying a paperback, I inspect the binding and make sure no part of the cover is bent or torn.
-
oh my god…Unearthly looks so incredibly gorgeous. I wanted it bad before…now I'm not sure what to do with myself!
As always, your IMM posts are amazing. Keep up the great work!
Happy Reading!

Great books you got this week. Vesper looks interesting. I might think about that one for the challenge. Hope you enjoy reading all your books.
-
As someone who ran in high school and college I have got to pick up The Running Dream! It sounds really interesting.
Also, I'm planning to pick up Unearthly when I embark to my local bookstore for a signing this weekend, so it was good to see how gorgeous the cover actually is!
-
I got the Harry Potter book for Christmas. It's so amazing! There is SO much cool stuff from the movie! I ended up raving about it on Twitter because I was so excited. Definitely worth your money!
-
I got Shadowspell, too! Sad it was damaged. I'm exactly the same way. I don't like scratches or bent covers on my books. I inspect them like crazy before I buy them. LOL I try to be very careful when I read them, too. Happy reading
-
Awesome mailbox, as always! I really need to read those Ruby Oliver books, because I've heard good things about them as well.
-
I laughed a bit, I'm definitely a bit of a book snob too, but the cover of that shadowspell and quite a few others look gorgeous. I am also really curious about the running dream! interested to see your review in the future.
-
Wow, the concept cover of The Girl in the Steel Corset is GORGEOUS! Amazing books this week. Enjoy!
-
Great books you've got this week Kristi! The Running Dream sounds wonderful and I can't wait to read Unearthly. Oh by the way, I am absolutely obsessive about having my books in a good-as-new condition. I just cannot stand to see a book that has curled or bent pages – and let's not even start about coffee stains. I always make sure that my friends now that if they're going to borrow a book, I want it back in the same condition as I last saw it.
Anyway, now that THAT tangent is out of the way, happy reading Kristi! -
Interesting sounding books! I just finish Hush Hush and i intend to order Crescendo too! Looking forward to your review on it!:D
-
I understand the book damage thing!! I go crazy even when my magazines are wrecked.
Shadowspell was awesome. Unearthly was good. The Lost Saint is amazing.
Happy Reading XD
-
WOW what a totally fantastic book week. The Girl in the Steel corset sounds really good. Look forward to seeing your review
-
You are so not a snob for replacing damaged books! Or, if you are, you are not alone. I can't stand damaged books either. And that Shadowspell is pretty badly damaged! And also it's awesome!! I loved it. Great haul of books you got, as always. Happy reading
-
I'm gonna read Crescendo in a few days and i'll normally receive Unearthly this week I can't wait to read it
. Happy reading !
-
Loved unearthly. Great books this week. I really like everything you've got this week!
-
I'm dying to read Vesper! It sounds amazing!
Erh, damaged books! That's horrible!! I hate when books arrived damaged… or worse, when I damage them myself…. -
Unearthly has such a pretty cover. I really want to read it.
-
Fab book week this week, Tutored and Vesper sound particularly good.
Happy Reading
-
You always have the most amazing books in your IMM! I love the cover of Unearthly too, can't wait to buy it – and read it, duh!
About the damaged books – that would totally piss me off. I can't stand it when my books are damaged. I have some books here that I haven't even read, but just by flipping through the pages, the spine of the book got cracked like it has been read several times. Me no likey! So I completely understand that you want to buy a replacement for that – that's not snobby, that's caring about your hobby!
Happy reading
-
Ooo The Running Dream, sounds really good! I'll have to add that to y wish list! And Girl in the Steel Corset sounds amazing! Enjoy all your new books!
-
Haha, I'm so jealous you have Other Words for Love already! Can't wait for that one!! Enjoy Kristi! x
-
The cover of Unearthly is so beautiful! Shiny!
Last time I got a damaged book I ironed each of the creased pages and it came out great. 0_0 Maybe not the best thing to do but it looked so much better afterwards.
I was glad to hear that you enjoyed Glimmerglass as that was one of the books I received this week. The cover is soo gorgeous. I just have to keep picking it up and touching it, over and over again

Great mailbox! I also got Unearthly this week and The Lost Saint last week. I am excited to read both– especially Unearthly. I'm loving the sound of the Harry Potter Film book- very cool; I'm such a HP fan! Enjoy all your books!
-
Lots of fantastic books this week! I got The Lost Saint as well. I am looking forward to reading Unearthly and The Running Dream.
-
Great list this week! The Running Dream and Real Live Boyfriends are both on my to-read list.
Have a great week!
-
You are not a book snob for wanting your books in good condition. I was sad the other day when a few of my books arrived in my mailbox damaged… I haven't posted them on my blog yet, but I know the damage was from the postman who shoved them into my tiny mailbox and the spines caught on somethings and it tore up the side of the spine causing a lovely gouge in the spine and many of hte pages a ruined. *sigh*
-
If you don't want that damaged copy of Shadowspell, you can send it to me. ;o) I don't care if my books are in pristine condition because I always share them with my students and they end up worn and dog-eared anyway.
-
You must read the Ruby Oliver series- they are very quick, funny, and awesome reads. DO IT. I command you!
-
You are definitely not alone in liking your books in good condition. I would probably do the same, go out and replace it eventually. I can understand why you are going to google docs.. mr. linky always seems to stop working when you need it to the most. I know there's another linky service called McLinky I think. Oh wait it's just called Linky Tools – http://www.linkytools.com/ .
-
I'll have to look for the HP book when I am next in a store. I think it would be amazing to have!
I am with you on the damaged/good condition books. I would have bought a new one, too!
-
I got Vesper too! The Lost Saint is really fab!
Fun bunch of books this week. ALSO booooooo to a damaged book. I don't mind damaged if I am buying them at a library fill a bag of books for one dollar booksale, but otherwise, boo hisss.
-
Great books! Looking forward to your reviews!
-
Unearthly…. hmmmm I saw Mrs Q's copy posted and she raves about how pretty it is. Another fabulous IMM. Enjoy the reads.
-
I am one of those who doesn't like the Google Docs system. I use Linky Tools and like it. Plus, it's free.
-
I should clarify – I love Google Docs for contests, but not for IMM links.
-
Wow, the cover for Unearthly looks gorgeous, I love the shiny details too. And the Harry Potter book looks like so much fun, I love it when they release stuff like that. Happy reading!
-
Seriously – I LOVE your IMM!!
-
We did a survey for The Girl with the Steel Corset on the Harlequin Teen Panel. I'm glad there considering that cover instead of the other one.
Great Books this week. Hope you enjoy them!
-
I haven't read Crescendo yet either. It's in my January TBR pile along with Unearthly. Hopefully I can get to them this month!
Enjoy your books
-
Great books!
l hate it when a book is like that with the pages ruined. It bugs me the whole time l am reading the book! -
Great mailbox! I just finished hush,hush and have Crescendo in my TBR pile. Enjoy!
-
Film Wizardry is such an amazing book. I'm thinking of framing some of the stuff that comes with it. I'm such a Potter nerd. XD
-
Happy Sunday! = )
-
I'm a book snob myself and hate getting them in bad condition. Sadly I've had it happen to me a couple of times.
If you want to restore the pages you need a water bottle mister and a iron. (The kind you iron clothes with.) All you need to do is lightly mist the damaged area and then on a low setting iron it. Use a hard surfase with a pillow case over it to iron onto. If you use an ironing board it's too soft and might damage the page.
-
The Running Dream sounds like it's going to be one of those thought-provoking reads. I'm going to check it out.
Bummer about the other book getting to you damaged. I'm the same way, I want my books in good condition too.
-
Vesper sounds like an interesting read (along with all the rest). Happy reading. ^_^
-
Wow… what a great bunch of books! I wish I had a job so I could afford to buy them all. LOL! And I am the same way about damaged books. The other day my son dropped my book in some Jello juice and I tried to wipe it away and just made the pages worse. It's so bugging me!
-
I am really looking forward to The Girl in the Steel Corset. I've beeen hearing about that one for quite some time now, and it looks awesome. I can't wait to see what you think of it!
-
Love your haul for the week!
Can't wait to read your reviews! -
Isn't that Unearthly cover gorgeous?! I got a copy yesterday at the book signing and I love it!
-
As always…Im jealous of your bookshelves and your books! Great IMM this week.
-
Really excited to read Tutored. I've read Running Dream, great novel!
-
I really need to get on board with IMM! It seems so awesome and a good way to actually organize the week, lol. These books look great – I really want to read "Other Words for Love".
Can't wait to see the reviews up.
-
Another great stack of books! I got Shadowspell and The Lost Saints as well. Can't wait to hear what you think of them
-
I'm reading Entice right now and really enjoying it. Can't wait to hear what you think.
-
As always, thank you for hosting IMM. I love having a place to check out everyone's books for the week.
-
Great week again! I have Crescendo on my list to read, and I'm looking forward to Vesper and Unearthly.
Have a great week, -
I have linked my Mailbox Monday to your meme.
Your haul is nice and big! enjoy.
-
Here's another alternative to Mr. Linky that you might enjoy using:
As a reader and one who checks out the blogs listed in your IMM posts, I prefer a Mr. Linky-like format much more than Google Docs.
-
I'm the same way with my books! I got "Warped" by Maurissa Guibord in the mail the other day and it had a little tear in it. I took it to BN to exchange today, but the store hasn't received copies yet. GRRR!!
Isn't "Unearthly" gorgeous? I doted on it in my review. Def. the best book of 2010 *so far*…and I wasn't expecting to like it much! I liked the ARC so much I went out and bought the gorgeous copy the very next day!
Do you often get manuscript-bound ARCs such as "The Girl in the Steel Corset?" That's pretty cool, actually! You can see how it's put together
