In My Mailbox: June: ALA edition

Alright, here's the crazy ALA edition of IMM (you all know who this is hosted by, right?  Moving on.)  I got other stuff this month too, but between all the crazy, I can't really recall what, so there is just a fraction of the non-ALA listed at the bottom.

Note: I tried stacking these in one tower -- it was catastophic.  I realized when I finished restacking that it could never have worked anyway -- it would have gone past the ceiling... Also note: according to color. You get a little preview of what it will (eventually) look like on my shelves.

tons and tons of swag

Here's my super shaky video of the books so you can see the covers.  I had to lay them out in the hall, and by the time I was done, there wasn't really room to walk, so this is what happens when I take a video walking on my tiptoes...


NON ALA IMM:
For Review:
The Unidentified, Rae Mariz
Manifest, Artist Arthur
Random Magic, Sasha Soren (came with tea, chocolate, and a green rubber ducky.  It was a very happy-making package)

For sheer loveliness:
my very own fairy from vvb along with a host of other goodies that I can't recall at the moment...


And yes, it's a pretty safe bet that the doubles I have are going to end up in the prize pool I keep dangling over your head.  One of these days, I will have both the time and ambition to sort through my monstrosity of books and throw some into the pool.  Someday.

  22. You have Scumble!!! I hate you! And was that Half World I saw near the middle in the top row. I'm looking forward to that one, too.

    ReplyDelete
  23. For little ole me? =D (<-- big happy face!)

    And Scumble was one of my big scores. I think it may have been my happiest moment, just because it was completely unexpected. There were books I was looking for and expecting, and Scumble wasn't one of them. I didn't think it was due out any time soon, and I loved Savvy. Big happytime.

  24. I'm about to cry!!! Like, total tearage going on here. Dare I say I totally despise you? No, I wouldn't dare, but I suuuurre would love to. Just color me envy green with some sinful black to match!

    Bah! Whatever. Enjoy your books! XD And if you don't enjoy them, send them to me, for heaven's sake! Any person who gets an ARC of "Beautiful Darkness" should send it to MOI if they have a heart!! XD

    Alright. Craziness has died down...a little.

    Happy reading!! *moans in agony*
