In My Mailbox (6/27/10)

In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by The Story Siren.  IMM is a great way to meet new people and I love seeing what other bloggers are reading!   

This was a great week here at I'd So Rather Be Reading!  Two huge things happened; first, a friend of my husband's gave me her Kindle that she didn't like---a brand new Kindle for free!  I've been wanting one really badly and I love it so far!

The second great thing is that we found out that I've been quoted on two author websites:  April Maley's website (I Will Not Be Silent) and Sylvia Dickey Smith's website (Dance on His Grave, Dead Wreckoning)!  I don't want to toot my own horn, as my mom would say, but I was so excited about being quoted that I had to share it!  Thank you so much to both authors; we are so honored!  Okay, I just realized that every sentence so far ends with an exclamation point.  I'm going to try to tone it down now. 

In addition to the Kindle and quotes, I got some books that I'm really excited about:

Annette Laing sent me the first book in the Snipesville Chronicles:  Don't Know Where, Don't Know When. 

I bought the fourth installment in the Immortals Series by Alyson Noel, Dark Flame.  

I'm branching out!  I received in the mail two works of poetry by EJ Stevens, which were wrapped up beautifully like a present.  I should have taken a picture of them before I opened the package but I ripped it open without thinking.  Impatient me!  Look for my reviews of In The Shadows and Shadows of Myth and Legend soon.

Lastly, I got another book in for review:  Cleo by Helen Brown.  I'm going to be part of a blog tour for Cleo including reviews, giveaways, and guest posts starting August 31st.  Look for my review of Cleo then!
