In My Mailbox #001

Hello! I'm back from my trip!  I actually didn't get much reading done in the airports, because I actually didn't have to wait all too long.  And then I slept on the plane, lol.  But I LOVED Vancouver.  I'm definitely going back sometime in the future.

I'm kind of sad though, and not just cuz I had to start school again.  I'm sad because my dad gave away all my childhood books this past week, without asking me first!  Some of those I would've liked to keep to pass down to my children.  I guess I can always hunt them down somehow through ebay or whatever, but it's different...they won't be getting the copies that I read when I was a kid, you know?  It's just...different.  And I'm really upset with him for doing that.  My dad just doesn't understand my love of books.  (I get it from my mom.)

Anyway, it's a new month...enough about that.  I guess I'll get over it with time.  In the meantime, I've got many reviews to write and even more books to read.  And sooo, here's my first IMM (photo coming soon, too lazy...lol):

New Layout + Some Contests!

Hello, hello!  As promised, I found a new layout.  I really like this one...it's got a sort of vintage-y/historical feel to it...

Finals were okay...I guess.  I actually didn't end up reading a leisure read, so no new finished books.  My final paper for one of my classes actually took more time to write than I had anticipated, so a lot of my concentration was on that.

Anyway, I leave for Vancouver tomorrow, and I only have one book packed right now!  I couldn't decide which ones I wanted to bring...so I'm going to look through them later today and decide.  I'm super excited for this trip! :)

Unfortunately, I didn't win the contests I entered before.  But that's not going to stop me from entering more contests.  Here are a couple I've entered recently:

- Princess Bookie's Book Giveaway: Win up to THREE books! (All ARCs)
- The Bibliophilic Book Blog's Follower Giveaway: Win a signed copy of Lament, Ballad, and Shiver

Audio Book Challenge

Time Frame: January 1, 2010 - December 31, 2010

I have never listened an audio book, so I thought I'd give it a challenge.  Since I'm not sure if I'll like audio books, I am going to just attempt the Curious level for now, which is listening to 3 audio books.

I'll post the list as I go along...

Romance Reading Challenge

Time Frame: January 1, 2010 - December 31, 2010

A romance challenge hosted by Royal Reviews.  Since I'm a big romance fan, I think I'll aim for Obsessed level, which is reading 20 romance novels.  I'll post to the list as I read the books...

Another challenge from Royal Reviews that deals with series.  This one is the finish them...

For this challenge, I'm going for the obsessed level, which is to finish 10 series.  For now, this is a holder post while I check out series to read.

1st in a Series Challenge

Time Frame: January 1, 2010 - December 31, 2010

I'm going to go for the Addicted level, which is 12 novels that are first in a series.  But for now, this is just a holder post.  I'll post my list of books later...
