In My Mailbox was started as a YA book blog feature by The Story Siren in November 2009. Haul videos are nothing new; fashionistas have been posting them on YouTube since at least 2007.
Fun stuff this week!!
First off, I might be the last person in the YA world to read this book, but better late than never!
I have a ton of review stuff to get to, so it's sitting on my night table, taunting me...
Obsidian by Jennifer Armentrout
Then the library emailed me with most excellent news: this came in for me:
The Book of Blood and Shadow by Robin Wasserman. I just finished it, and my review will be posted next week..
I keep forgetting to put my NetGalley titles on my In My Mailbox.
I got The Glimpse by Claire Merle. Thanks to Faber and Faber!
Also Keep Holding On by Susane Colasanti. Thanks to Viking/Penguin Group!
Finally, I got Immortal Rules by Julie Kagawa. Thanks to Harlequin Teen!

DeleteAmazing mailbox you have there!!
I still haven't read Obsidian yet either :-( I won a copy when it first came out but it never came so I just haven't had a chance to buy one and read it. The Immortal Rules was amazballs!!! And The Glimpse is pretty good but I had to put it on hold because I have other things I have to read right away.
