In My Mailbox 4/8/2012

In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by The Story Siren. The premise behind it is to record which books you got in the mail or purchased that week. (It can also include books picked up at the library, but since I almost never do that, it will not normally be a part of my post.) Since acquiring new books is always an EXCITING time for me I thought that it would fun to participate. So here is my first In My Mailbox or IMM post.


  From Goodreads Giveaway: ARC of Once Upon A Gypsy Moon by Michael C. Hurley  

  From LibraryThing: ARC of When Morning Comes by Francis Ray

  Purchased: Bloom:Finding Beauty in the Unexpected - A Memoir by Kelle Hampton

  6. Congrats on your first IMM post! Looks like you scored well this week - I didn't realise you could get ARCs from Library Thing, I will have to investigate :)

    I definitely second joining Netgalley, it's pretty straightforward just need to make sure your public bio includes some marketing stuff like visitors per month, number of comments per month etc.

    I signed up before I actually launched my blog and just included how I was going to get my blog out there through social media etc and I have still been approved for heaps of books!

    Thanks for stopping by my blog earlier and happy reading!
