I'd also just like to note that Kristi's IMM vlogs are what inspired me to start my blog. She made blogging look like so much fun! And now I know why.


Vlog:
Beware: Awkward movements, bad lighting, and sometimes really loud noises :)

@Jen from Makeshift Bookmark: If you happen to cross paths with this post, I'd like you to know that I tried VERY VERY HARD to acquire the Morganville vampire series, but some little unknown brat in my town snatched it up before I could get to it -__-

Thanks for stopping by!

Great finds at the library. I can never find anything new at mine as other people get there before me...

If you can find Morganville Vampires, DO IT! I think the series has been running a bit too long, but really LOVE the earlier ones.

I'm interested to see what you think of Possession- it's gotten mixed reviews.
What an awesome haul this week!

Lol, the butterfly in the ice cube! I totally agree, definitely makes you wonder. I've been super curious about it, but never actually gone so far as to picking it up. I hope you enjoy all of your reads! They all look great. :)

Thanks for stopping by Kindle Fever!

Marathon said...

Angie- Yeah, it's because of that stupid Mystery Teen in my town that I couldn't find it (the Morganville vamps):K

Thank you!

Jenna- Random, but I love guessing which one of you will stop by *lol* I mostly picked it (Possession) up for that ice cubed-butterfly on the cover. I was intrigued O_O

Mateja- I've only read one Cabot book, and liked it. I want to see how I feel on her Greek myth retelling take.

Giselle- You rock, thanks! My Life Undecided definitely seems cute, and she's blogger, so how cool is that? And thank you! The covers are similar for Deadly Cool, but in the picture, and I've noticed this elsewhere too, the eyes don't seem as vivid... Maybe, I'm wrong and it's the photo shot?

Rebecca- Yeah, I mean, out of everything they could've put on there, it's an ice-cubed butterfly *lol* And thank you for stopping by!

And that goes for the REST OF YA. :D

Yay for Meg Cabot. I haven't read one of her books in quite a while. I loved the Princess Diaries books when I was younger.

Happy reading!

Teen Idol! I think that was one of the first Meg Cabot books I ever read :). So many great books this week - I've been wanting to read My Life Undecided for ages and I love the sound Cinder and Possession! Happy reading :).

Alison Can Read said...

Great set! Lots of Meg Cabot this week. I want to read Abandon. Of course, Princess Diaries is way cute, as is All American Girl.

Cinder is incredible! I loved it SO SO much!!!

Great stack!

April said...

I have need on my shelf.. I haven't read it yet.. I should soon maybe. I read Possession and it was okay, the writing was a little choppy I felt, but the story was good. I really want to read Kisses from hell! I think that is the one with the rachelle mead story?... not sure if I"m think the same one.

Great bunch of books! I hope you enjoy them all.. and dont worry about awkward movements... at least your chest is covered.. that's more then I can say for me. lol. :)

Ashley @ Book Labyrinth said...

Ooh I so want to read 'Texas Gothic'... I need to make time for it!

Hope you'll be able to read the Morganville books soon because they are AMAZING! =)

(Keep in mind that I've been up for almost 24 hours straight, so my brain is basically mush-pie right now.)

Alison (thecheapreader)- This my second time reading one of her novels, and I have high hopes for it.

Liz- Coincidence, because it's my first, too(; The first of I'd heard of My Life Undecided was when I'd signed up for the giveaway. It has such a cute book face that I just want to read it ASAP.

Carrie- I can't remember why I was pining for it :( I just know that I really really REALLY wanted it.

Alison Can Read- Have you seen the cover for the sequel of Abandon? I was like, I REALLY have to catch up on this series before it gets away from me, and all I'm left with is staring at these beautiful covers. XD

Amanda- She looks so scared on the cover, it became an auto-acquire. By any means.

April (B&G)- I envy those that possess such natural video-making prowess -_-

I've read so many glowing reviews for Saving June, that it became an instant must-have-now book.

Grace- It's great to have you back! And thank you!

Amber- Why, thank you! I loved the PD movies, never read the books. I aspire to like them.

Ashley (@Bookworm)- Oh, great, someone's who's already read it! Thanks for reassuring me on my decision <3

April- I feel like it's a must.To read Need, I mean. I don't have very high expectations of Possession, i was mostly just curious about it. And yes, Mead writes a story in Kisses from Hell, featuring Eric Dragomir.

Thank you! And I'll try not to. And when compared with your situation... kidding. Having your chest say hello is normal XD

Ashley- Hello, again. That's my problem, making time for everything in my life. I've plenty of time to get to this, though. At least I think.

I REALLY want to read them now. It seems like it gets rubbed in my face every time I come across them...

Maji Bookshelf said...

Marathon said...

Farah- I actually didn't buy them, I was gifted some and I borrowed some(: Thank you!

Awesome books this week! My Life Undecided looks so good and I can't wait to read it.

Enjoy you books and happy reading!

Emily said...

Awesome vlog! I pretty much have to stay away from my library...cause there are way to many books already in my house!
You got some really good ones though!

Happy Reading :)

Anonymous said...

I'm really wanting to read Texas Gothic!!!

Christy @ TheReaderBee said...

Wow! You have some awesome books this week! I hope you enjoy reading them all!

iLuvReadingTooMuch said...

Nice haul this week! LOVE MEG CABOT <3 and LUCKY YOU! I want Mercy Lily :P Happy Reading!

Marathon said...

Sagacity- Thank you! Brody's book sounds like so much fun to read and another cute contemporary to get into to.

Emily- Thank you so much! And I admire your self-control(:

Amanda- Clement-Moore has a lot of praise everywhere I go so, that can only mean she's very good.

Christy- I feel so lucky, and thank you! I will.

iLuvReadingTooMuch- Thank you! So far I've liked Cabot's books so hopefully Abandon will knock my crazysocks off.

thank you everyone for stopping by!

I want to read Texas Gothic. You must have a nice library. Happy reading and thank you for stopping by my IMM.

Marla said...

Aaaaahhhh! You got Cinder! I keep waiting for word on that one from Netgalley. I've been left hanging. :-( Thanks for stopping by. I hope you enjoy your awesome stack of books!

Maestra Amanda said...

Great IMM! You got so many good ones this week!

Thanks for visiting my IMM,

Jennifer said...

I've been putting off buying Possession...the reviews are all over the place. Looking forward to your review.

Alexa said...

Oh The Ghost and the Goth is so great! I didn't ever really get into the Need series, I read all three of the first books in that series and I just couldn't take it anymore, book one held promise but the books went downhill after Need. I have also heard to many conflicting things about Possession that I don't know what to think of that one anymore. All American Girl really is a great book too.

Hope you enjoy all of the great books you got! Thanks for stopping by Pages of Forbidden Love :)

Mimi Valentine said...

Ohhh, you have such an awesome mailbox! I really want to read Cinder because it sounds so cool and I hope you enjoy it a lot! Plus, Teen Idol used to be my sister's FAVOURITE novel when we were growing up -- I really hope you like it! :)

And I hope you enjoy all of your other books too! Have an amazing day!

Marathon said...

fivealarm- Yeah, my library IS pretty awesomesauce, I must admit. You're welcome!

Marla- Don't you hate when publishers do that? Just tell me yes or no already. *lol* You're welcome, and I absolutely will.

Maestra Amanda- Thank you, and you're welcome!

Jennifer- Yeah, there are most mixed review, and I think that's why I want to see for myself. I look forward to seeing you around the blog again(:

Alexa- Yeah there seems to be a mixed reaction on Need and Possession, so I'm curious to see which category I fall under. All-American Girl has a snarky heroine, so I'm down. I've just got to get to a few more books first.

Thank you, and you're welcome!

Faye (Daydreaming_Star) said...

Ooooh! You look like you got some really good books this week! I really, really like the look of Possession! I can't wait to see what you make of it! Yeeee!

I think I did. And the ice-cubed butterfly really sends a message. Hopefully it's as good as it looks.

Carina Olsen said...

Great IMM :D You got lots of great books ;) Really jealous about Cinder via NetGalley. They declined me :p Hih ;p
Thank you for commenting on my IMM. <3
Love, Carina

Marathon said...

Carina- Thank you!(: And I think so, too. I hate it when I get declined for something I really, really want! Makes me said xP
