In My Mailbox

August 1, 2010 by Arena Blake 12 Comments

In My Mailbox is a weekly feature hosted by The Story Siren.
It’s a chance for book bloggers to display the books they purchased or received for review each week.
This week, I decided to do my first ever vlog to show you the goodies I got:
Featured Books:Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater
Linger by Maggie Stiefvater
The Iron Daughter by Julie Kagawa
Finnikin of the Rock by Melina Marchetta
Matched by Ally Condie
The Replacement by Brenna Yovanoff
Nightshade by Andrea CremerI think it was a good haul.

I know the video is kind of dark and bad quality, but hopefully I can use my Flip video camera from now on to make better videos.

So, what was in your mailbox this week?
