In My Mailbox: TXLA Edition

In case you haven't heard, TXLA was this past week. Sadly, I could not go all 4 days, but Cynthia from A Blog About Nothing and I did make it there for one day. And boy are we glad we did. Not only did we snag some awesome goodies, we also met some amazing authors (Carrie Ryan, James Dashner, Gayle Forman, David Leviathan, and many more). BUUUT, the very best part was hanging out with fellow Literary Lonestars and Blogger Buddies. I've got pictures and will be posting about the event very soon. Till then, let's get this IMM started!

    You got some amazing books this week! :) That Sarah Mylnowski book looks awesome! I love her as an author. Lurlene McDaniels is pretty good too. Her endings are kind of sappy, but they're still great books. Happy reading :)

    Great IMM. Hmm, the people on the cover of Reaching Through Time by Lurlene McDaniel are the same as Return to Paradise by Simone Elkeles. That has been happening a lot lately.

    @Jen- You were a busy girl that day! I wish we could've stayed an extra day, so we all could've hung out at night. Boosauce. Maybe next year!

    @Cari- LOL, that would've been so much fun. I got lost 3 times on the way home b/c I wasn't paying attention and accidently took the wrong exits. O_O
