In My Mailbox #174

I haven't read a single book this week. Which is making me all kinds of depressed. Hmph. But I just haven't felt like reading. I blame still being sick because of my fistula. Sigh. But, good news, hospital trip on Tuesday to have it looked at. <3 Finally. Hope it won't hurt. Anyway. I shall try my best to read something this week :D Just need the energy, and something that I want to read. But even though I didn't read, I had an amazing week! I watched a new series, Gotham. And I'm loving it to pieces. Currently watching the three Batman movies for the first time too. Number one was kind of boring. Huh. And The 100. I'm so disappointed in that one kiss they had. It made no sense. All for the PR, I guess.. sigh. Better not happen again :) Blog posts this week. Not that many, ack. But still enough :) I shared the cover for Walk on Earth a Stranger. <3 So pretty. I shared the map for The Winner's Curse trilogy :D And it is stunning. Posted another Cress Tuesday. <3 I'm waiting on The Storyspinner :D I'm also a part of the Unchanged Blog Tour. <3 Amazing US giveaway too :) Oh! And I changed my blog look a little bit. A lot of pink :D Which I am loving. <3 Thoughts? The mail! I had an EPIC MAIL WEEK. I got the best thing I have gotten in the mail. Sigh. SO HAPPY :D Thank you so much Philip Pullman for responding to my fanletter. <3 And for sending the most amazing bookplates too :D Dying. I will treasure this perfect letter forever. It's amazing. Yeah. Sigh. The best. Anyway. I also did get a bunch of other things :D Lots of gorgeous swag. <3 Signed book. Many pre-orders. Waiting on lots. Ack. What did you get this week?

    What a collection!

    I started watching The 100 tv show and I'm loving it! I think I'll try and read the book as well, even though I know they have different developments! :)

    Those editions from Philip Pullman are gorgeous! I love illustrated covers. I haven't read this series yet (saw the first movie) and I think I will pick it up this year. What a sweet message in your signed copy from The glass arrow.

    OMG. Seriously, girl. You have all the prettiest hauls! I'm interested in reading your thoughts on Kalahari. It looks interesting!

    Happy reading, hun. I hope you'll have a better week. (hugs)

    So many awesome books this week! I haven't read The 100 books but I love the show so much!! I haven't started the second season yet, but the first was awesome. Hehehe, kitty walkies in the snow. :D

    Gotham! I love Gotham! It's so cool! :)

    Those His Dark Materials paperbacks are gorgeous! I like that their style kind of goes with your Folio editions. I WANT THAT FUNKO BAYMAX. I keep hoping we'd get it at work, so I can get it--with my discount, of course--but we haven't. :( And yay for Siren's Fury! I hope you looooove the first book, oh my gosh. It'll be a relief to have the second book already, I promise.

    I hope you have a great week, Carina, and that your hospital visit goes well!

    whoa all the books.

    For me, I'm personally excited about your Kendare Blake collection! I've read Anna Dressed in blood and I really enjoyed it but I haven't read Girl of Nightmares. I think your collection is so amazing, it must've taken so much time/effort!

    I haven't read The Glass Arrow but I really want to! It looks so magical <3

    The Glass Arrow sounds really good as does Kalahari. I just read a post about it on Jenny's blog. You have sooooo many books here, Carina! You're kitty is so cute, but doesn't look entirely pleased to be on a leash or in the snow! Lol! Great humongous haul! :)

    I hope you are feeling better soon, Carina! you poor thing. What an awesome book haul to keep you company as you recover, though. I'm always in awe when I see your photos on Instagram. :)
