In My Mailbox (1)
In My Mailbox is a meme hosted by The Story Siren where bloggers can share the books they’ve received/bought/borrowed each week.
This IMM is for the past couple of weeks:
From the Library
I picked up my book club’s February selection:
Shut Out by Kody Keplinger
Birthday Presents
From my parents I received a Barnes & Noble gift card, and with it bought:
Cinder by Marissa Meyer
Tempest by Julie Cross
(Thanks, Mom and Dad!)
My big birthday present was going to the Tour de Nerdfighting in Austin, but my husband also bought me some DVDs. I know they’re not bookish, but I just had to add them:
Veronica Mars Season 3 (I had been wanting this for so long – this show is awesome and I’m so excited to have all 3 seasons now!)
(Thanks, J!)
I’m looking forward to reading those books! I haven’t read The DUFF by Kody Keplinger, but my friends have raved about it, so much so that one decided to make Shut Out her book club pick for this month. And I can NOT wait to read Cinder and Tempest! I’ll be reading those really soon!
So what bookish (or not so bookish) things did you get this week? Let me know if you’re participating in this meme and I’ll stop by your blog!

February 5, 2012 at 5:21 amCinder and Tempest both look like good books. :) I don't think I've heard anything bad about Cinder, actually. And I enjoyed the DUFF by Kody Keplinger, so hopefully Shut Out is just as good! Happy reading!

February 5, 2012 at 9:41 amI really liked Tempest. But I ADORED Cinder. Seriously. Ah, I want to read it all over again! And while I loved The DUFF, Shut Out wasn't the one for me. Sure, it was nice, but I enjoyed The DUFF much more.
PS: Your blog design is so cute!
Have a great reading week, new follower :D

February 5, 2012 at 1:56 pmHi! Welcome to IMM! I could see that this is your first post (if the number is a correct indication). I've seen Cinder around in quite a number of mailboxes – I'm sure you'd enjoy it. I'm particularly drawn to Shut Out though, so nice to have a book club! Enjoy your great reads this week.
Here's ours over at GatheringBooks:

February 5, 2012 at 2:16 pmCinder AND Tempest, SO jealous!! Have you seen the new commerical that Matthew Broderick sort of redoes his role in Bueller with?? It's out there if you google it! It's one of the Super Bowl commercials today Here's ours http://marmaladelibby.blogspot.com/2012/02/in-my-mailbox-4.html
andreamantis
February 6, 2012 at 3:35 amYES! I saw that commercial! It's funny! Although I wish Alan Ruck (who played Cameron) had been in it, too! I loved Cameron!

February 5, 2012 at 3:34 pmHappy late birthday! (:
You got some awesome books there, Cinder and Tempest are both on my wishlist. I haven't heard of Veronica Mars yet, here in the Netherlands we are always so behind with all the series. We only just discovered How I Met Your Mother here >.>
Anyway, I hope you enjoy all of your books!
