In My Mailbox- Week of August 3

So I have defied my ramblings yet again and stayed under 10 minutes in this vlog too, despite yet again having a ton of books to talk about! I'm getting better. :) Also, I did annotations for this one because I was inspired by Kristi who did some in hers. I hope mine are just as funny, if not funnier (not that this is a competition or anything. but I do kinda hope I'm funnier).




List of books (in order):

Heist Society by Ally Carter
The Sweetheart of Prosper County by Jill S. Alexander
Soulstice by Simon Holt
Prophecy of the Sisters by Michelle Zink
Crazy Beautiful by Lauren Baratz-Logsted
Something to Blog About by Shana Norris
Troy High by Shana Norris
Psych Major Syndrome by Alicia Thompson
Drama Queers by Frank Anthony Polito
How Beautiful The Ordinary: An Anthology edited by Michael Cart
A Golden Web by Barbara Quick
The Heart is Not A Size by Beth Kephart
The Snowball Effect by Holly Nicole Hoxter
The Vinyl Princess by Yvonne Prinz
The Girl with the Mermaid Hair by Delia Ephron

    Shana- Haha, I don't mind. It just means I won't run out of swag for a while. :P

    Alicia- LOL, I didn't even realize that was the abbreviation. That's hilarious. And I'm totally glad I've got a copy now too! Will try and get to it soon!! :)

    Sharon- Thanks for that! I completely forgot I got it, lol. If you want, I can send you Mermaid and Vinyl in a bit. I didn't really ask for them, but I'll read them, write up my reviews, and send them your way if you want. Just let me know!
