In My Mailbox #111

Got some pretty amazing things this week. <3 Though still missing a whole bunch. Ugh. Hoping it will all arrive soon. Anyway. December has been such a busy month for me so far. I feel like I don't have time for anything. And I'm tired and hurting all the time as well. I have not read much; just re-read Graceling, Fire and Bitterblue. But very happy about that. <3 Hoping to read more soon. I'm busy because I'm doing about 80 advent calendars a day online. Taking a lot of time. But, thankfully, done on December 24th. Excited about that, lol. Hoping I will win something awesome. <3 I did get some pretty awesome things this week though. And I'm very happy with it all. I'm busy all the time and since the days are going so fast I feel that I'm behind on everything. Behind on comments. Behind on emails. Behind on life. Sigh. Hoping to catch up soonish :) What did you get this week? <3


Revelations. Got this from Tor Teen. <3 Thank you! I'm hoping to read it pretty soon, I think :D
Champion. Last copy of Champion for me. <3 But, different publisher than the rest, hih ;) Pretty.
Waterfell. Gorgeous bookmarks gotten from the amazing Amalie. <3 LOVE the sea horse!
Faking Normal. Won this awesome signed book + t-shirt from Courtney :D LOVE! Thank you. <3

  7. Amazing bunch of goodies! I also got the Frozen soundtrack and love it! Hey, have you ever read the Starcrossed trilogy by Josephine Angelini. Its kinda like a cross between Percy Jackson and Twilight.

  8. I really want to watch Les Miserables, but every time it's on TV I never seem to be able to focus on it for too long. I don't movies that are told through signing all the way throughout are for me. :( Shame since the storyline seems interesting.

    Ooh, I do love The Body Shop! <3 And that hippo is adorable!

  10. I know what you mean about December. I'm looking forward to some more free time once the new year rolls in. The Great Gatsby wasn't as good as I was hoping it would be, but I know I'm in the minority there. I love the soundtrack though. I hope you enjoy it! I got a copy of Revelations too, though I have no idea how they got my address for that. O_o

  11. Loving the prize from Courtney! I'm very jealous, but I'm glad it's going to a good home! I have Faking Normal from Edelweiss, so hopefully, we'll both enjoy that one! And I hope you love all of your books! :)

    Thanks for visiting my blog, Carina!

  14. Absolutely love the Channel Your Brave shirt! It is awesome! You got lots of goodies in the mail and I hope you win more from your 80 Advent Calendars. :)

  15. Oh lord, no worries! I'm behind on just about everything too! See how I'm doing my commenting from Sunday on Tuesday? :) But how fun that you reread all of Kristin Cashore's books! They're simply the best. I think Fire was my favorite of the three. :) And ooh! The Frozen soundtrack is so good! I just might know all the words to all of the songs. Hehehe. I also might have embarrassed myself deeply at the Disney store last week flipping out about all of the Frozen stuff.

    Have a great week Carina!! :)
