The Mailbox Post (May7th-12th)



Can you believe its time for another IMM post? Where is the time going?

Mailbox Monday is a gathering place for readers to share the books that came into their house last week and explore great book blogs. Warning: Mailbox Monday can lead to envy, toppling TBR piles and humongous wish lists.

Mailbox Monday is originally hosted by Marcia from A girl and her books and The Printed Page. In the summer of 2010 Marcia decided she needed a change in hosting and didn't want to rely on one blogger alone to do it because its a lot of work so she decided to put Mailbox Monday on tour and so far with great success it has made monthly stops at more then a dozen blogs and this year is booked until the end. I will actually be hosting Mailbox Monday in April.

The host for May is Martha from Reviews by Martha's Bookshelf a blogger that I have been following for the longest time now. Be sure to check her out.


Quite a few bloggers have started there own mailbox features and one of them is Tynga's Reviews. She is a local blogger and a super sweet person. If you haven't checked out Tynga's blog you really should. (Before you leave a comment about me supporting this please be sure to read official launch )

Here is what I got this week:
For Review:

Bought:
This is what Michael bought with his money this week:
-Moshi Monsters Moshling Collector's Guide (this is his latest novelty. Any other parents encounter this?)
-Pilot & Huxley The Next Adventure #2 (he loved the first graphic novel so he wanted this one)
-Squish Brave New Pond #2 (he loved the first graphic novel so of course he wanted book two. He found out that these authors wrote another graphic novel series called Baby Mouse and he is thinking of starting them)

Given/Gifted:
For mother's day I got Insurgent by Veronica Roth and Hourglass by Myra McEntire.
