In My Mailbox- Week of Feb. 23

Hey everyone! Here's the vlog for this week:



And I'll have two more Picture posts coming up this week, wherein I'll show off my bookshelves and book boxes and book piles! :) And these pics will also be interspersed (sp?) with some other pics of my cats, the packages pic I talk about in the vlog, and a picture of the stuffed animal that Davin got me.

Also, here's a few links of things over at my Myspace blog, posted in the last week:

Review of In Too Deep by Jennifer Banash plus an interview and contest (which ends Monday evening!) here.
Reviews of Project Sweet Life by Brent Hartinger and Jumped by Rita Williams-Garcia plus an interview with Brent here.
Review of Geek Charming by Robin Palmer plus an interview with Robin here.

  1. Love You Hate You Miss You!!! Can't wait to read this!

    Gay Manga?! Sorry, but I've the need to correct you. It's called 'Shounen Ai' or 'Yaoi' or both. I'm not into this genre but I'm a Manga Fanatic so...yeah...I've got a solid Manga knowledge.

  3. Hehe. On Friday I was like Oooooh I wish I had a copy of Forest of Hands and Teeth! My mom said I didn't get anything in the mail.. Got home, ate dinner went upstairs and my dad was like oh don't you want your package? And it was totally Forest of Hands and Teeth, total mind reading!

    Yeah I only got Alligator Bayou but I'm still not sure what it's about...

  6. Letter Garden- I know that, but I like calling it my gay manga, lol. And it's more Shounen Ai than Yaoi. I'm a manga/anime fanatic too. Oh hey, maybe I'll take a pic of my box o' manga to post this week!

    Megan- Ugh, I hate it when that happens! When they have like random books in the series rather than all of them.

    Alea- I'm glad I'm not alone. Also, you need to ask me about Forest on a mailing day. I think it was sent out earlier this week but I haven't gotten it yet. :(

    I didn't even look to see what either one was about. I've never heard of them and they don't look interesting just from the cover, so off to the library they go!

    Erika Lynn- Well, I like it for other reasons too, but those are the main ones, lol.

    Khy- I dunno, but if you don't get it, I can throw it in the package I'll eventually get around to sending to you, lol. :P

  12. Letter Garden- I'll be sure to take a photo of it once I clear some stuff off of it, lol. And I'm a true manga fan- no ignorance regarding that, lol.

    Marie Hansen- Thanks for the compliment! I've got some AMAZING cat pics and a cat video to show this week along with all my bookcases/book boxes, hehe.

    Amy- That's exactly why I do them. I hated having to do all the coding when I first started doing In My Mailbox. This just makes it so much easier; plus, it's easier to tell stories this way.

    Ravenous Reader- Thanks so much! I'm so excited to read Breathing- Cheryl's gonna be one of two Fresh New Voices of YA for April! And like I said above, more cat pics and video to come!

    sharonanne- That's great! That makes me happy that someone else got to get it. :)
