In My Mailbox #33

Welcome to  In My Mailbox, a meme run by The Story Siren where each week over 200 bloggers post on their blogs the books they have bought, received to review or won in the past week. 

To find out more information, get involved yourself or see what's in other bloggers mailboxes this week head over to The Story Siren or to find out what is in my mailbox this week, keep reading.

Don't forget to comment and post your IMM link or just let me know what's in your mail box this week.

So despite thinking (and planning)  for a slow week to concentrate on reading and reviewing what I already had, somehow it turned into a ridiculously huge week! Virtually every day that had post, a new parcel of books appeared in my mailbox ( or in my case on my front door step) and actually that was pretty exciting. Every morning during the week bar one, I would get up and open my front door and there was a new book parcel sitting on my door step and in fact on Friday, I got a parcel in the morning and the afternoon. Pretty awesome huh? Now I just need to read them all! :-)

For Review (with thanks to HarlequinTEEN Australia)

RAK Wrap Up June 2012

June 2012, another great RAK month. 

RAK or Random Acts of Kindness is a monthly event hosted by Book Soulmates in which bloggers and individuals give and receive books and bookish items. The way it works is that at the beginning of the month,you enter your details in that oaths formi.e. name, website, email along with a link to a Wishlist of books that you would like to receive ( both electronic and paper format) then you look at the list and choose one or more lucky people that you will send something from their Wishlist. 

This month I was lucky enough to be chosen by Lisa from Badass Bookie to receive the following:



Fated by Alyson Noel

I was also chosen by Michelle from Beagle Book Space to receive a RAK and this one is on its way. I can't wait to find out what it is :-)


In turn I chose Claire from Claire Reads to receive:



Pandemonium by Lauren Oliver
