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.

I really wanted to do a video blog this week, but I just didn't have the time today.... so I snapped a few pictures instead.

This weeks IMM is for two weeks work of books!

Confessions of the Sullivan Sisters by Natalie Standiford
Mistress of the Storm by Melanie Welsh

Bought:

So, today is J's birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! Not that he even reads my blog.... lol. BUT we went out to celebrate last night and after dinner we had a little time to kill before the baseball game, so he took me to a local indie that is closing in Fort Wayne. I went a little crazy buying books.... I probably would have bought more if J hadn't been there! But I felt sort of bad, it being his birthday and me acting like the kid in the candy store... I think I might have to go back on my day off this week! Anyway, here's what i got:

It was a busy day so I didn't have the time to do a vlog, but I hope you enjoy the quick picture I snapped!

How about that awesome t-shirt! It's from Meg Cabot's Airhead series. I received it as a thank you for participating in the recent tour for Runaway. In case you can't read it it says 'The Paparazzi Have Just Gotten So Out of Control.'

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

Basically IMM is a meme I started here at The Story Siren with some inspiration from Alea of Pop Culture Junkie. What is a meme you ask? A meme (pronounced meem or to rhyme with theme) is like the plague. It's purpose is to spread.... like a disease, hence the plague reference. Memes can be those stupid quizzes that you see on facebook.. "what type of latte are you?" You know what I'm talking about right? For bloggers especially book bloggers memes have evolved into something a little more personal that we can share with each other.

The idea behind IMM was not only to put new books on your radar but to also encourage blogger interaction.
