In My Mailbox (1)

In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by Kristi at The Story Siren.


This is my first ever meme! I've been blogging since August 09 and all i've done are reviews, interviews and just some random stuff but I figured it was time to have a couple set memes each week. I figured hey, why not start with this one!?

So I got some totally awesome books this week!

Beginning of the week- zilch.


Thursday 1/21/10- I received my copy of The Dark Divine by Bree Despain. I ordered it from Amazon along with 7 other books but for some reason it got shipped alone.

Yesterday 1/22/10- I received a signed copy of Secret Life of A Vampire by Kerrelyn Sparks. I won this from Monica at The Bibliophilic Book Blog!

Today 1/23/10- I got another of my Amazon books, Carpe Corpus by Rachel Caine. It's no good to me right now though because it's book 6 in The Morganville Vampires series and I need book 3(which i'm waiting for in another shipment from Amazon!).

I also got a signed copy of Freaksville by Kitty Keswick. I won this from the wonderful Joy Preble, author of Dreaming Anastasia, of Joy's Novel Idea.

So there it is, my first IMM post! That was exciting! I can't wait to see what everyone else got!

Have a great night everyone!

    I can't wait to read The Dark Divine, or well... all of them! Secret Life of a Vampire is the only one that I have read, and it was good. Hope you enjoy your books! :)

Interview with Kimberly Derting and yes a giveaway!!!

Wow these contest are really adding up. I should have done one HUGE contest for all the books i'm giving away, but authors are very busy people and I didn't know when I would have which interviews back so I just separated them. So anyways, there's this book coming out in March called The Body Finder, i'm mostly sure you've heard of it but if not here's the trailer, watch it! Now that you know about this awesome book, how about an interview with the author! Yes, Kimberly has been kind enough to stop by and answer a few questions. Q: To start, can you tell us a little bit about yourself? A: Let’s see…I live in the Northwest with my husband and our three kids. I’m always surrounded by teenagers (my kids and their friends), which I think helps with my writing. Sometimes I’ll ask for their opinions on dialogue. Sometimes I just eavesdrop and call it “research.” Q: For those reading that don't already know, what is The Body Finder about? A: Sixteen-year...

Character Interview & Giveaway!

So for my part in the Tyger, Tyger blog tour for Teen Book Scene I did a character interview. Well im unconvential in my ways and since I wanted to ask multiple characters questions, I decided to ask five characters one question each, instead of asking one character five questions! Without further adeiu, I give you my multiple character interview! ~~~~~ Aiden: Singing is a huge part of your life. What is your favorite song to sing, and what is your favorite song to listen to? My favorite song to sing is, “Aiden is the hero.” I make up the words when I hear music. I like to listen to old songs, guy songs, not princess songs. There’s always a song around me. Like in the movies, when the music tells you things about what’s about to happen. I listen to it, and that’s how I know what to sing. Tonight, I want my Dad to sing the monsters away before I go to sleep, because I keep hearing, Bad Moon Rising http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5BmEGm-mraE&feature=related My dad will make it...

My 300th post and a giveaway!

Wow! This is my 300th post on this blog. *tears up* It's definitely been a fun-filled journey reaching this point. I've met many amazing bloggers and authors, and so I lift my virtual champagne glass and toast to (hopefully) 300 more! In celebration of Valentine's Day being yesterday, of this being my 300th post, and me almost hitting 800 followers (4 away!! eek!), I decided to hold a giveaway to win a pre-order of my most recent favorite read and a book I absolutely LOVE. Valentine's Day is the celebration of love after all, no one said it had to be directed to another person ;). If you follow me on twitter(@ssalach21), or read my latest review, you will know that I am talking about Divergent by Veronica Roth. If you missed my rave review, you can check it out here (It's spoiler free!). Here is the summary for those of you who aren't familiar: "One choice One choice decides your friends, defines your beliefs, and determines your loyalties . . . for...
