In My Mailbox (14): Special First VLOG edition!

I'm a package hoarder. I have so much I don't know what to do anymore!! :X

In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by Kristi of The Story Siren.

This IMM is for two weeks of mail!
Also, I've done a special VLOG for y'all. It's 9 min~, but I took photos as well, so you can see what I got if you don't have time to go through the video.

THE VLOG

There are heaps of annotations. And interruptions. And awkward pauses. :|

I'll be sure to check out your vlog later on today. I used to collect all the packages I received as well, then I came to my senses about the lack of space I had. Congrats on The Duff + PRADA, I can't wait to read either of those. And my edition of The Haunted is nothing like yours :S

I didn't request the copy of The Haunted, so I can't really complain.
I hope you get your own copies of The DUFF & Prada. I don't think I can stand to swap them; both are just too damn pretty!
I have a corner in my room in between my vanity & some cupboards (I guess that's what you'd call them) where I just throw all my packages in. It's gotten to such a crazy amount that my mum will probably give me this disapproving look if I just dump it all out on the front lawn. :P

Just a little FYI - 'Sunshine' is quite possibly the most annoying book ever becaue it's so good but the author insists it's a stand-alone.
Grr.

Happy hoarding... I mean, reading :)

I DO read, thank you very much. :P

Sunshine is so thick already...does that mean the book ends with a cliffhanger? I hate cliffhangers.

Hey, Cass! I loved your vlog and all the random interruptions with your mum and brother coming home. That's exactly what any vlog of mine would be like, if I got round to making one. And so many good books this week! (loooove the special copy of the sequel to The Hollow, hahaha , <3 ). Can't wait to see your thoughts on Matched and The Duff :)

XD I'll try again for next week's IMM. I'll probably be home alone, what with the fact that I don't have anymore school and my mum is (finally) going back to work. :D Also, that means I can finally sneak some trips to the post office. Aaand I'm glad that no one has complained that they haven't received their packages yet. :S

I love my copy of The Haunted too! It's full of so much fail that it wins. Should have both reviews for Matched & The DUFF up within the next few weeks. Almost done with Matched. I'm surprised I've been reading it so, so slowly. It's hard when I read it after Delirium, and the comparisons... :S Sadly, but not surprisingly, I think I liked Delirium more, at least up to this point.

I am a package hoarder too!! Just yesterday, my mum tried to throw them away and I almost had a panic attack!
You've got some great books! JRR Tolkien is one of my favorite authors.Lord of the Rings is the greatest fantasy ever!
Btw, I loved your Vlog!

Hahahaha! Take a photo! I'd love to see how many packages you've accumulated so far. I'm not sure what my family thinks of my bookshelves and my package junk corner. In a few months I'll probably have to throw them out, though. It's about 1 M high already. :S

Thanks for the heads up! I'm not sure when I'm going to get around to reading The Lord of the Rings. Very intimidating since it's soooo long.

I saw your IMM post, but it's not existent anymore. :(

I'm also in love with the cover of THE DUFF! It's so shiny and new and pretty. I didn't think it could have looked even better than on the computer.

Love the books you received Cass! The Haunted special edition, so cool. I've been wanting to read The Duff since it was released so I can't wait to find out what you think of it. Also great Vlog you totally should do another one for your next IMM :)

I'll definitely be doing any IMM VLOG next week. I will be receiving at least 3 books. But if that's all I get, then I'll just ramble on. :) Hopefully not as many interruptions next week on Friday when I plan to record!

Also, can't wait to see what you thought of Nevermore! I've wanted to buy myself a copy, but other books keep popping up, and before I know it, I'm broke again!

The packages looked nicer when I just dumped them all on my bed. Unfortunately I didn't take a photo before I "organised" the packages. I have about 7 packages I need to send out. I'm not sure how I'm supposed to go about it though, since I've only ever sent out one at a time. I've got "sample" packages, just to segregate each prize and whatnot, with the addresses with the corresponding prizes. When is it the least busy at the post office?

I can't wait to read The Chosen One. :)

I'm a package hoarder too! It's ridiculous - I just have them all stacked and they're starting to take over my desk. I might need to get rid of them soon :( And YAY thanks for telling us about Awaken! I'm super excited to read this one and I hadn't checked for it on NetGalley yet. Anyway, awesome books! Hope you enjoy them all :)

Here's what I got in my mailbox this week :)
