Teaser Tuesdays (5)
Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following: Grab your current read. Open to a random page. Share two “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page. BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!) Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers! My Teaser: Reggie didn’t make a sound. Ice-cold fear flooded…

In My Mailbox (5)
This week I ended up with about a package a day, which made my heart flutter! Although I don’t mind weeks where no books come in the mail, it sure is nice to come home to a new package to rip into. It’s like Christmas early! 🙂 Won: Secondhand Spirits by Juliet Blackwell (Won from Reading with Tequila) Lovestruck Summer by Melissa C. Walker Surprise! Something, Maybe by Elizabeth Scott (I won Lovestruck Summer from her blog and she sent with this along with it! Oh did I do a happy dance!) For Review: Zan-Gah by Allan Richard Shickman Zan-Gah…

On My Wishlist (2)
On My Wishlist is a weekly feature run by the great book blog, Book Chick City. To learn more about this meme, get the details here. I actually just discovered this book yesterday! Elizabeth started following me on Twitter, and I go through my new contacts at least once a week or so to see who I’d like to follow back. When I found out that she was an author well…of course I had to find out what book she had written! Off I went, and stumbled upon this. It sounds so amazing! As a lover of all things fantasy I am…

On My Wishlist (1)
On My Wishlist is a weekly feature run by the great book blog, Book Chick City. To learn more about this meme, get the details here. I just stumbled upon this meme at a few other blogs and I love the idea! I decided that I want to start participating too :). I LOVE Libba Bray. I first fell in love with her Gemma Doyle trilogy, and then I started following her LiveJournal which furthered my adoration for her. She is a funny lady! Witty, smart, a slight bit childish at times. Yup, perfect! When I read the premise for…

IMM explores the weekly contents of our mailboxes, as well as books we might have bought this week! This was a pretty great week for my “mailbox”!

Madigan Tyger, Tyger by Kersten Hamilton The Dark Divine by Bree Despain (Review) That’s it for me! I’m waiting on…

A little of this, a little of that!
First off, it’s Friday! That means it’s time for the Book Blogger Hop! This is a weekly event where book bloggers and readers can connect to find new blogs to read. It’s a great way to network with other bloggers and make new friends! To participate, head over to Crazy-for-Books and leave your link, then do some hopping! In other news, I finished Wintergirls by Laurie Halse Anderson today. It was so hard. This put was put down at least 8 separate times, in which I had to run for another book to stop me from feeling so angry or…

Library Loot (3)
Library Loot is a weekly meme co-hosted by Eva at A Striped Armchair and Marg at The Adventures of Intrepid Reader! Bloggers are encouraged to share the books they’ve checked out at the library and give a little insight into why they chose them :). *** Shiver by Maggie Steifvater So I think I am one of the only people that has not yet read this book! LOL. Linger is on it’s way out (July 2010!!!) and it sounded so amazing that I kept saying to myself, “I should read Shiver”. Yet, every time I went to the library I kept forgetting. This time?…
