In My Mailbox [25] The Christmas Edition


IMM is a meme hosted by The Story Siren

I didn't do an IMM last week what with it being Christmas, so I thought I'd do my Christmas present edition this week instead.
I got some very cool books off my family, mostly American hardbacks I'd never buy for myself! (forgive the terrible picture, taken on my BlackBerry)

Gifts
Intertwined by Gena Showalter 
was a Christmas gift from the lovely Liz over at Planet Print--thank you!
The Language of Flowers by Vanessa Diffenbaugh
Shattered Souls by Mary Lindsey
Anna Dressed in Blood by Kendare Blake
Frost by Marianna Baer
Possession by Elana Johnson
Graveminder by Melissa Marr

So happy about all of these! Cannot wait to start reading them.
Happy New Year guys! I hope you all have a great 2012.

Have you made any resolutions, bookish or otherwise? My bookish resolutions are:
1. Read 150 books this year
2. Complete my challenges
3. Eliminate over half of my TBR pile

I think they're fairly accessible goals..hopefully.
Leave me your links for your IMM posts!

  6. Shattered Souls! *steals* Soooo want to read that. And graveminder! Loved Melissa's fey books. Anna Dressed In Blood was AH-MAZING!! Really hope you like it :) So many great books this week!

    The problem with that TBR resolution is that you finally get it halfway down..... only to discover another two recent piles have cropped up beside it haha. Good luck with your goals and Happy New Year! :)
