In My Mailbox is a weekly feature that allows blogs to share what great book related things they got in the mail. DISCLAIMER: All ARCs are provided to me in exchange for a review, or as a giveaway prize. All tour books & borrowed books are provided out of love and blogging friendship. Finally, I in no way use this feature to brag or to make fellow bloggers feel bad. I acquire books & loot the honest way. This feature is only to share my love of books & to get the word out about them.
If you've read my blog, or Tweets, you'll know that I attended ALA last week. BTW: It was an incredible weekened. I've never experienced something like that before!
After going through all of my books, I decided to share them in the IMM post this week. I tried to behave, so I only brought home a total of 32 books. Pretty darn good, right?
<--- Anyway, I have them all in bags [the ones pictured] for the time being. There's no real order to them. One day, soon, I'm going to organize them. Hardy-har-har!
