IMM (2)

If you don't know much about In My Mailbox, check out The Story Siren. She tells you everything you need to know about it!

Since J. Pardue did IMM last week, I get to do it this week! :) Anyways I got 4 books total in the last two weeks.
Three of them are from Pure Imagination. I won her Blogoversary Birthday Bash. I was really surprised, when I got the email. It was really unexpected. I hardly ever win anything. Like I enter almost all of the blogs on the New Year's Revolution Blog Hop and I didn't win at all. Well hopefully I win something in this blog hop! I just want to thank Lori at Pure Imagination again for the books and the awesome contests she has on her blog!

Contest Books That I Won:

Nevermore

ARC of Shade

She even put I red ribbon around the book. I thought it was the cutest thing ever!

ARC of Please Ignore Vera Dietz

I also joined Different Area Codes Book Tour. Which is basically an ARC tour. It's really awesome! 

ARC Tour Book:

Vixen (The Flappers)

I absolutely cannot wait to start Vixen. I have a week to read it. So I gotta hurry up and get off of here! I'm almost done with Nightshade. I got about 100 pages left, give or take. So as soon as I'm done with that, I'm moving start on to Vixen.

WHAT IT'S YOUR MAILBOX?

In My Mailbox

This is the first In My Mailbox, for this blog. If you don't know much about it, The Story Siren does a fantastic description!

So today, I came in from school and noticed I had a box from USPS. It was my College Algebra book that I ordered on January 4, 2011 (this past Tuesday). Not that a college math book is totally interesting, but I thought it would be great considering the place that I ordered it from to try and give it exposure.

The place I ordered the book from is called AbeBooks. Any college student knows that books are expensive if you buy them from the bookstore, so like I do for everything else, I looked online. Amazon and eBay are my go-to places for online shopping, but they didn't have the book cheap enough. The book is $158 retail, and online at Amazon and eBay they were only about twenty dollars cheaper. I'm always seeking a better deal, so I Googled the ISBN.

I stumbled upon a link, which happened to be AbeBooks. The book was the exact one I needed and brand new for only $19.00. Standard shipping was $4.80 while Priority was $9.00. I hit the motherload with this deal. At first I didn't think it was legit, and since you can only pay by credit card (the only downside to the site; I tried paying with my debit card but it was declined) I looked up to see if there were other users who had used it before with positive results. Luckily, there were good opinions about it. So of course I bought that book with Priority shipping because I needed it by the end of this week for the class.

Despite my skepticism, the book was in the mail today. I was ecstatic. The first reason being that I got it so cheap, the second reason being I got it so fast (three days!), and the third being that this site is completely legit. So now my mission is to give exposure to them and let people know it really works and their prices are legit.

Check out the photos of the book and the thank you note the seller sent me in the package. The thank you note had a pack of Smartees attached to it. I thought that was a pretty nice little extra.
