I feel ashamed. So ashamed that I posted 3, I mean THREE  IMM's back to back. I'm sorry to say that I had to deal with some personal issues this last week and I couldn't write the reviews I was meant to write (now that I FINALLY had the time)! I hope to have the time to write in the coming week. ( Whereas I can read when I feel sh**, I can't write - it's a hard thing for me to write even if I feel good). Anyway, these are the books I got this week...wohooo, the *missing* books from last week finally arrived!

 Two more S.A.S.S.( Students Across the Seven Seas) books..wohoo, the only one missing now is out of stock :/ So, I guess my collection is complete for now!
Getting the Boot - Peggy Guthart Strauss
When Irish Guys Are Smiling - Suzanne Supplee

Across the Universe - Beth Revis. Oh my gosh, it took 180 pages before I got sucked into it ( I had my problems in the beginning, due to personal memories of watching *Forever Young* in Ski-Camp (still have nightmares :S), but oh, help, I loved it, couldn't put it down). I'd give it 4 stars (And there's a map inside the cover.. - me like! )
Torment - Lauren Kate - Beautiful velvety cover!
Unearthly - Cynthia Hand - I haven't read many Angel books, yet, but this one was the best so far, really fell in love with it, 5 stars! And I looooove the metallic cover!

Stolen-A Letter to my Captor - Lucy Christopher
You Against Me - Jenny Downham

Wildwing - Emily Whitman
The Ivy - Lauren Kunze and Rina Onur


And two non-Ya-books

Following Polly - Karen Bergreen
Salting Roses - Lorelle Marinello

All books I've purchases myself, ordered from bookdepository.com

I'm so excited to have these books arrive this week, can't wait to read them all....so, what did you all get?

So, it's been a few weeks since I've last done an IMM so I have quite a few books this time. When I'm bored I buy books, when I'm happy I buy books, when I'm sad I buy books....(and I read read read read of course!)

The S.A.S.S.-series (Students Across the Seven Seas) . I thought they looked so cute I just  had to buy (order) them. I love how they're designed like letters, with these cute little personalized stamps. And the fact that I myself have been an exchange student on not only one but on two occasions made me even more wanting to read these books! Oh, and I love the funny titles! Not all of them have arrived yet though.. I think that four are missing ( lazy postie :P)

The Sound of Munich - Suzanne Nelson

Heart and Salsa - Suzanne Nelson

Up Over Down Under - Micol Ostow & Noah Harlan

The Finnish Line - Linda Gerber

Spain or Shine - Michelle Jellen

Westminster Abby - Micol Ostow

Swede Dreams - Eva Apelqvist

Girl Overboard - Aimee Ferris

Pardon My French - Cathy Hapka

The Great Call of China - Cynthea Liu

Falling In Love With English Boys - Melissa Jensen   ( I had the chance to read this in the beginning of this week and I really liked it after a kind of slow start, it got really engaging after a while and I couldn't put it down until I'd finished it. Hopefully I'll have time to write a review soon. I'd give it almost 4 stars! )

Amy & Roger's Epic Detour - Morgan Matson   (LOVED IT!)
Fallen - Lauren Kate    (Gorgeous velvety cover!)
Bitter Melon - Cara Chow

Winter Longing - Tricia Mills
My Ridiculous, Romantic Obsessions - Becca Wilhite
Siren's Call - Devyn Quinn

In the last week of 2010 I got these two absolutely gorgeous and wonderful books. I loved and adored them both, and as you probably have seen both made my best of 2010 list! Wohoo!!

A Girl Like You - Gemma Burgess (Thanks a lot to Gemma Burgess and to Charlotte Allen at Harper Collins for providing me with this review-copy!! I did my Happy-Dance when it arrived! My review is to come soon!)
There's Cake in my Future - Kim Gruenenfelder ( Review to come!)

And One Last Thing - Molly Harper
If this is Paradise, I Want My Money Back - Claudia Carroll
The Girl Who Chased the Moon - Sarah Addison Allen    ( These last two books I picked up in a book-store in the nearest town, where they surprisingly had a few English books, I didn't plan it, it just happened...oooops)

And last but not least I won a book for the first time ever! I won a contest over on Jane Porter's blog . This is what I got : Some Reader Goodies (to the left) and a signed copy of Easy on the Eyes - Jane Porter

So, what an exciting week! Hope you all had exciting weeks too! Can't wait to see what you all got!
