In My Mailbox (4)

I haven't made an IMM post in a while, frankly just because I haven't received anything in my mailbox and I wasn't able to post these earlier because I was away for my Winter Break so this is what I received from the weeks of 12/20-12/27 of 2010!

IMM is a weekly meme hosted by Kristi at The Story Siren with some inspiration from Alea at Pop Culture Junkie where we post about books we have received during the week via mailbox, local library, or store bought.

I also received a couple of temporary tattoos of Vampire Academy, and a few stickers of Angelfire, A Touch Mortal, and Firelight. I won a necklace of Haven, a keychain of Vampire Academy, and a bracelet of Vampire Academy!

A huge thank you to Erin U., Savannah, Erin S., Courtney, Sophie, Kristi, Leah, and Yorkshire Publishing! Also, thanks to my 9 year old nephew for letting me borrow his Harry Potter series, because if not for him, I might not complete the challenge (it's more convenient!)!



So, what did you receive in your mailbox this week? :)

Teaser Tuesday (1)

I've seen this meme around a lot but I haven't ever participated so this is my first week in doing so. This meme is brought to you weekly by MizB over at Should Be Reading :)

Anyone can play along, just do the following:

• Grab your current read
• Open to a random page
• Share two (2) "teaser" sentences from somewhere on that page
• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (Make sure that what you share doesn't give too much away! You don't want to ruin the book for others!)
• Share the title and the author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

My Teaser

"I feel most like I'm in that weird state of half-asleep, half-awake I get when I've tried to sleep past noon, when I know I should get up, but my mind starts wandering and I'm sure I can never get back to sleep. Even if I do slip back into a dream for a few moments, I'm mostly just awake with my eyes shut." 
-Page 19 (ARC), "Across the Universe" by Beth Revis

I just had to share this teaser because right when I read it, I immediately thought - OMG! I know exactly what she's talking about! Do you ever feel like this sometimes? :)
