In My Mailbox: 8/28/11

Make sure to leave a link to your IMM in the comments, so I can see what goodies you got!  And if you've read any of my goodies, let me know what you thought of them. :)
And as always, In My Mailbox is hosted by Kristi @ The Story Siren.

So....this is a super long IMM.  I mean, there was just an absolute shitton of books in my mailbox this week (and yes, all of them actually did come in my mailbox...)  If you want to watch the short version that shows just the books and none of the details and hoopla, there is a link you can click on about 50 seconds in that will take you to the short version.  :)

    oh man, I have some major When the Sea is Rising Red jealousy, I want a friend like yours ;)

    oooo The Secret Garden? I haven't heard of The Humming Room but it sounds seriously awesome.

    I really want to get into the Beka Cooper series too, especially since the 3rd one is coming out soon. September? October? Either way.

    Academy 7 is pretty decent, I bet you'll enjoy it. The world is neat.

    whew, got through all 15 minutes of Misty! haha, I love long vlogs actually :) I didn't do an IMM this week because I have at least two packages being held hostage over the weekend in my apartment office and I'm pissed because I wanna know what they are so...I was too frustrated to do one. hahaha.

    Allison - I would be pissed too. Not too pissed to do a video because I love chatting at you guys, but pissed.

    Casey. The Space Between IS AMAZEBALLS!! I finished it the other night, and HOLY MOLY I want a finished copy now. Can't wait to read WTSIRR, I hope it is just as amazeballs.

    I'm really looking forward to When the Sea is Rising Red and love the cover too. The Theatre Illuminata series sounds great. Thinking of starting it. I could go on and on, but it just easier to say, wicked IMM :-)

    I got Echoes pretty much for the same reason you did. It was cheap for three books in one and sounded interesting. Honestly I didn't really like book one but it gets much better! So if book one seems bad don't give up!
