In My Mailbox #9

In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by the lovely Kristi @ The Story Siren.

Holy cow!  You guys will never believe it.  I received a total of 21 books in the mail this week!  I know, I know, I'm as shocked as you are.  Monday I checked the back door, where the UPS man usually puts my boxes.  When there were none there, I admit that I was quite disappointed, but as soon as I opened up my front door, two smaller packages fell onto my floor.  I opened them excitedly and found a book in one and a bunch of signed swag in the other.  Then I thought "alright, now to check the lame mail."  But it wasn't lame at all!  There were two more packages stuffed in my mailbox and when I turned around to go back into the house, I tripped over a BOX of books.  I wonder what my mailman thinks...

Monday: 13 books

Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday: nothing

Friday: 2 books were accidentally delivered to the wrong house.  I got them at night.

Saturday: 6 books

I was thinking that I would try and do my first IMM vlog but honestly, I'm too nervous to.  Plus Saturday I was at the Renaissance Faire all day with friends, so I didn't have much time to do one.  Maybe one of these days...  

Alright, alright...I'll stop talking and show you the stuff I got!

But first...here's a picture of a faerie from the Faire!

The awesome thing about her is that she is also the girl that played Clary in the book trailer for City of Fallen Angels by Cassandra Clare!  I figured you guys would get excited over that.  :D
