In My Mailbox # 21

In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by The Story Siren , find out more about it on her IMM-page.

Hi everybody, sorry that I have been AWOL lately, I've spent the last few weeks at the lake, reading a lot. Today though it's rainy and I have to go to the airport later to pick up my mom who's coming for a visit. Anyway, as I'm home, I thought I'd do a quick IMM today....hopefully I'll have time to write a June recap later on, or tomorrow.

All links go as usual to Goodreads.

Hereafter - Tara Hudson ( see Starcrossed)

Don't Stop Now - Julie Halpern. I love Road Trip books, and I couldn't stop reading this one!

The Single Girl's To-Do List - Lindsey Kelk. My favourite of  June by far. I love Lindsey Kelk's novels!

Nostalgia - Used Books

I woke up one day a few weeks ago and had this unbelievable craving after my childhood/young teenager books. I knew the books were out of print, and even with Abe-Books, and Amazon Used Books I knew it would be difficult to get them, as many don't ship outside of Germany or not to where I live. Anyway, I managed to get the most important books (for a lot of money :S), but I'm still missing three books, that just don't ship here :(. Anyway, I almost cried when they arrived, I devoured them all in a matter of days, I still love them!

Lips of an Angel

I just ate my favorite food and drank some red wine. My sister was over for dinner..it's nice to see that we still have the same humor, even though we have nothing else in common.

Now I'm listening to Hinder with Lips of an angel..interesting lyrics.

I've just ordered a few books:

- Twenties Girl by Sophie Kinsella

- Rude Awakenings of a Jane Austen Addict by Laurie Viera Rigler


Still waiting for
- The Good Luck Girl by Kerry Reichs
- An Echo In The Bone by Diana Gabaldon
- A Field Guide to Burying Your Parents by Liza Palmer

I have to remember to order
-With or without you by Carole Matthews...I really really liked that book and I want to reread it!


By the way, I've finished Girl from Mars by Julie Cohen. I liked it a lot better than Molly's Millions by Victoria Connelly. With that I don't want to say that Molly's Millions is bad, because I really liked it too, it was the perfect Sunday read. But Girl from Mars was written from the "I" perspective, and I guess thats why I liked the book so much better...
