In My Mailbox + Poll Results

Here's my In My Mailbox vlog this week, and it's probably the shortest it's ever been, lol. I go through like 12 books in less than 5 minutes. There's also some exciting news in there too!:

Behind the Bit by Jessica Burkhart
The Oracles of Delphi Keep by Victoria Laurie

Tempo Change by Barbara Hall
Guinevere's Gamble by Nancy Mackenzie
Fairy Tale by Cyn Balog

For Better or Worse by Jill Amy Rosenblatt


And here's the poll results!:
1) Love You, Hate You, Miss You by Elizabeth Scott- 3
2) Being Nikki by Meg Cabot- 1
3) Silver Phoenix by Cindy Pon- 5
4) The Awakening by Kelley Armstrong- 6
5) You Are Here by Jennifer E. Smith- 2

So it looks like I'll be reading The Awakening and Silver Phoenix next, and then just go down in descending order from there. Thanks for the help, everyone!!


New info on Book Signings- My signing that I'll go to August is now covered- Maggie Stiefvater is holding her book launch for Shiver on Friday, August 7 in Williamsburg, VA. I'm gonna do my best to go to it. Hey, maybe I can make it a habit to go to all of Maggie's launch parties. I was there for Lament's and now will be there for Shiver's. Since she lives in VA, it shouldn't be a problem at all. I'll be your launch party buddy, Maggie! LOL. :)

  11. Melanie- I should see what the summary says, lol. I haven't had a chance to look at it. Would you maybe want it for keeps? Let me know- my email addy is somewhere on here, lol.

    Ravenous Reader- I should be getting to The Awakening very soon. I just have to finish up SplitScreen and Allie Finkle 3 first, and then I'm gonna get started on those books I had you guys vote on. :) Where do you live? Maybe I'll poke Maggie into going there, lol. For RWA, we should chat more closer to the date so we can hang out at the signing and author-stalk, hehe. :)

    Kate- Thanks! Keep an eye out for my reviews here! :)

    Maggie- Haha. And then after that, it'll be Launch Party of the East Coast, right? Or will you just go straight for the whole of the US? lol. :P I really hope I can make it!! Oh and Kristi (below you) says you need to go north a bit more so she can see you. DO IT.

    Kristi- Haha, don't worry- I forgot about The Sorceress and After the Moment in my vlog. They were in a different pile further away and so I missed them. Next week though. I'm excited about reading Silver Phoenix- it seems like a wonderful read! And I have two videos of the baby kitties up on my Youtube page- go check them out! :)

    Letter Garden- I know, I'm so excited to read it! And thanks for the mental image, lol. Go eat something then!!

    Liyana and Amelia- Thanks!!

    PolishOutlander- I've never even heard of the Guinevere books before, lol. I'm kinda hoping my library has the first book so I can donate this second book to their collection.

    ShareYouSweetTread- It's just that particular indie bookstore that has that policy, though maybe other bookstores do too. But I don't think chain stores would have a policy like that. Indie stores however do need the money, so that's probably the need for the policy.
