In My Mailbox (8)
In My Mailbox is a weekly post created by The Story Siren and inspired by Alea of Pop Culture Junkie. IMM explores the weekly contents of our mailboxes, as well as books we might have bought this week! So I’m feeling a little better today. This stack of books holds promise and I’m sure my faith about the good in people will be restored soon. I’m a big believer in karma, and things have a way of turning full circle. So for now, I snuggle down with some good books and I wait. It was a great week for books! My library is…

When Amesh learns the secret of invoking djinn, he loses control. He swears he’ll call upon only one djinn and make one wish. The plan sounds safe enough. But neither Sara nor Amesh are any match…

“Me Mondays” Feature
Phew, that’s a mouthful! Okay, it’s time again for me to try something new. I may ramble a bit so stick with me! ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ I decided a long time ago that it was important for me to share bits and pieces about myself with my readers whenever possible. From personal experience, I know that reading about the people whose blogs I love makes me feel more connected with them! I wanted to do that for all of you. Unfortunately….I’m at a loss as to what to write about. SO in the spirit of places like Formspring, I’m letting you ask…

IMM explores the weekly contents of our mailboxes, as well as books we might have bought this week! Not the best picture this week, but I have been in a hurry getting books ready to list and sell. My bookshelf is overflowing and so I’ve decided that any book I haven’t read in over a year needs to be parted with unless it is one of my favorites.
