    In My Mailbox (8)

    In My Mailbox is a weekly post created by The Story Siren and inspired by Alea of Pop Culture Junkie. IMM explores the weekly contents of our mailboxes, as well as books we might have bought this week! So I’m feeling a little better today. This stack of books holds promise and I’m sure my faith about the good in people will be restored soon. I’m a big believer in karma, and things have a way of turning full circle.

    Waiting on Wednesday (7)

    “Waiting on” Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Breaking the Spine where we share upcoming releases that we just cannot wait for! One minute Sara’s bored on vacation in Istanbul. The next, she’s unearthed a flying carpet that cleverly drags her to the mysterious Island of the Djinn—or genies. By her side is Amesh, a hot boy she’s starting to love but doesn’t yet trust. When Amesh learns the secret of invoking djinn, he loses control. He swears he’ll call upon only one djinn and make one wish. The plan sounds safe enough. But neither Sara nor Amesh are any match…

IMM explores the weekly contents of our mailboxes, as well as books we might have bought this week! Not the best picture this week, but I have been in a hurry getting books ready to list and sell. My bookshelf is overflowing and so I’ve decided that any book I haven’t read in over a year needs to be parted with unless it is one of my favorites. So check back soon because I’ll be putting them up here first for anyone who…

Elizabeth started following me on Twitter, and I go through my new contacts at least once a week or so to see who I’d like to follow back.
