In My Mailbox

IMM is a weekly meme hosted by Kristi at The Story Siren.

On this week's edition of "Find The Beagle" I think I did pretty darn good. The library had a book sale last weekend- picked up 2 hardbacks for a buck each. I also hit up Half Price today and found 3 awesome titles, and got several reviews books I am really stoked about. So without further ado...

Jekel Loves Hyde by Beth Fantaskey
Crash Test Love by Ted Michael
Bullet Point by Peter Abrahams

And this last picture is just to show how neurotic and weird Toby actually is. Yes, he did this himself. Yes, he sat there just staring at me. Yes, that's a shower curtain and bath rug protecting the chair from him so he doesn't ruin it. And yes, that's a bungee cord keeping said protection up.


That's my week.... what did everyone else get?

  1. *LOL* Toby is SO cute! You know, one of the main reason I love your IMM post weekly is because of him!

    Nice loads of books you have there. I would like to read Fallen myself but perhaps I'm going to wait for its paperback version to be published soon.

    Anyways, I hope you enjoy your books! Happy weekend. And yes, give Toby some extra pets on my behalf ;)

  13. YOU GOT THE GHOST AND THE GOTH!

    *paws at the book*

    Oh, Toby's next to The Eternal Ones. That book strikes me as a good book. Winter Longing! I finished reading that the other day and I'm wondering how you'll react to it. We must compare notes afterwards ;)

    I wonder if Toby acted that way because he was like, "Ugh, I'm so sick of you taking pictures of the books! I'M THE ONE YOU LOVE FIRST!" ;P

    Anyhoo, great haul this week! You got way more than I did, lolz.
