In My Mailbox

It was an amazingly good week in books for me plus Alyson Noel came to Dallas for a signing on Thursday. Oh yes, I went. Oh yes, there were pictures. And, oh, remember those awesome orange Chucks I got from Heidi Kling? That's right. Alyson signed them. It was, well, awesome! Not to mention, it was the first shoe she had ever signed.

For Review:
Firelight by Sophie Jordan
Everlasting by Angie Frazier
Indigo Blues by Danielle Joseph
Minder by Kate Kaynak
Of Bees and Mist by Erick Setiawan
(Very big thank you to Sophie Jordan, Angie Frazier, Danielle Jospeh, Kate Kaynak and Simon & Schuster)



Yes, that's me in my Paranormalcy T-Shirt from Kiersten White. With Alyson Noel.

And here is Alyson signing my shoe... and the final product!


That was my week. What did everyone else get?

    Wow, looks like some great reads this week! A few I think I'm going to have to check out.

    I love those pics! My dogs would so not stay still for all that! I caught my one dog the other day trying to make a run for the garden with my book bag in his mouth! lol

    That's pretty cool that you got your shoe signed!

    You have some great books to read too. Delirium looks fantastic. Very different from Before I Fall but I bet it will be an amazing book. Prophecy of Days is on my TBR list and so is 13 to Life. I got Guardian at the Gate this week too but I haven't read Prophecy of the Sisters yet.

    Have a great week!
