In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by Kristi at The Story Siren.
Through her guidelines, your post does not actually have to be named the same and thus my post shall be..."In My Shopping Bag". (just fits with the "foodie" theme a bit better in my humble opinion)
Let's see what's inside this week...

I had been seeing this one around the blogosphere and was becoming rather curious to have a read of it myself when low and behold it arrived on my doorstep. A very happy surprise indeed.... ^_^ This first book of the planned trilogy is set to publish March 2011...mark your calendars!

OMG! How cute is your dog! She looks like my dog, Scout! You had some awesome books in your mailbox this week. I am especially jealous of Wither. Can't wait for your review!
ReplyDeleteWither? I'm envious :)
ReplyDeleteYour furry baby is so cute!
My little dog has sweaters and coats for when he gets cold. Poor thing doesn't have much hair ;)
Your puppy is SO bloody cute! I'm so jealous of everyone that got Wither haha I hope you enjoy it, and I can't wait to read your review of it :)
ReplyDeleteWow, you bought a lot of books! Hope you enjoy Dracula, it's one of my all time faves.
ReplyDeleteWow! SO many great books this week! Including ones from Peachtree (that we love! Snow Day & Where Do Teddy Bears Come From are some of our favorites.) and WITHER!!! Wahoo! I loved Wither, so good, we'll see what you think.
ReplyDeleteAnd ahhh...your little helper is so adorable! Love the pjs!
Oh Gosh, your assistant is really adorable :D And really photogenic, I must say! Perhaps you'd like to fearure her more often on here. I'm sure I'll be one of those who'll be waiting for her appearances ;)
ReplyDeletep.s. I am SO jealous to see you got those Yancey books! Will be interesting to hear what you think of them! Have a good week, my friend =)
Christina: Yes...she felt the need to pose for the camera so of course I had to share. Wither was a surprise indeed...but a happy one!
ReplyDeleteJuju: Dually noted on the envy...LOL. ^_^ Your dog has a mini wardrobe too? Small world.
Melissa; Yep..and you know what, she knows it which can make her a bit of a brat at times...a loved brat but one nonetheless. Thanks for the reading wishes!
Sam: *nods* Great deals, good titles...heavy shopping bag. Surprisingly I've seen the movie several dozen times but never read the book! Will correct that in the near future...
the1stdaughter: Yes, read a few of the Peachtree ones straight away, they were/are so cute! Wither was a total surprise so I'm anxious to learn more about it. Yes, she loves her pj's...and just laying around being held...but ler her "brother" take her toy and it's ON! ^_^
Shy: Isn't she? She loves to ham it up for the camera....when she'll sit still long enough. We shall see about her cameo appearances. ^_^ Yes, the Yancey books I've been meaning to read, so I'm curious to see if my anticipation for them was warranted...will see soon.
