This IMM includes the week before Christmas and the subsequent weeks up until yesterday. I didnt get any books for Christmas (I actually only had one gift from my Sister because all the money went on the girlies, which is as it should be [ : D ] Saying that I have had some wonderful gifted books from my gorgeous blogger buddies (and you wonder why I say you make me cry with your generosity)
From the library:
A Christmas card & Beautiful ANGEL WINGS from Jennifer Laurens
(yes as you would expect from me I cried when I opened the envelope-such a wonderful surprise. I was actually speechless , lol)
The wings are now hanging by my desk for me to gaze at all the time [ : D ]
Bought:
(this has been on my wishlist forever)
Gifted: from the ever so lovely Tammy at The Book Fairys Haven
From UK Book Tours (I <3 Lynsey)
Won for the school library from Heaven, Hell and Purgatory Book Reviews
The gorgeous Christmas card I received from Clover at Fluttering Butterflies
(I adore homemade)
The fantastic Christmas card along with a handmade ornament and Body Finder swag from the lovely Sya at The Mountains of Instead
You are so creative I love it and it is a beautiful addition to my Christmas tree ornaments
Gifted from the wonderful Clover at Fluttering Butterflies
Along with the beautiful Clair de Lune signed bookmark and card shown below
Clover did a lovely post about book swag here I think that when you are a book loving person *addict* you get attached to all the pretty covers so swag is something that automatically goes to feed the love *habit*
Gifted from fabulous Kirsty at The Overflowing Library
See how lucky I am to know such generous and truly lovely people. I apprecaite it
THANK YOU.
Please dont think I take without giving back:
Clover had my copy of Nightshade by Andrea Cremer
Tammy had Fade to Black by Alex Flinn
Sya had a few things on loan LOL
So many good ones there! I *love* Pretty Bad Things, it's so different and fresh and brilliant. And I also read Immortal Beloved and Crusade recently and both are excellent. Hope you enjoy. :)
ReplyDeletePretty Bad Things looks pretty interesting! AND The Story Siren has IMM back up and running! (a little different I might add) so go link up!
ReplyDeleteI did mention that my 5 year old made that card, right? And no worries about the book and other things! Great books this week. I have a 5th birthday party to attend this afternoon, so not sure if I'll have time to do IMM this week!
