Replacing IMM With A New Weekly Feature At Word Spelunking: Goodie Basket

Hey, Cupcakes! So there's been a bit of drama in the last week or so among the book blogging community. I'm not going to recap or discuss the issues and events that stirred up the drama, as I'm sure most of you already know what's going on.

But, in the light of the events I've decided to no longer participate in In My Mailbox (IMM). Instead, I'll be doing my own thang! I introduce you to *drum rolllll*...

Goodie Basket...is a weekly feature hosted here at Word Spelunking that showcases all the goodies (books, bookish things, reviews, interviews/giveaways/guest posts, blog tours, etc) that popped up in the Goodie Basket that is Word Spelunking each week.

I will be posting the Goodie Basket weekly feature on Sundays (by 9am ET) every week. I will be using this feature to showcase the books and bookish things that I am sent or buy weekly and to recap all the weekly happenings on my blog and spotlight any exciting upcoming events/posts.

I'm excited about starting this new weekly feature and I hope y'all continue to stop by each Sunday, check out my Goodie Basket posts, and leave links to YOUR weekly haul/recap (whether they be IMM's, your own new/old memes, etc).

Be sure to come back Sunday, 4/29 to see my first Goodie Basket post!

In My Mailbox (20): The One With INSURGENT!

In My Mailbox...is a meme hosted by Kristi over at The Story Siren, and is a way for bloggers to share all the bookish (books they've won, been given, given for review, checked out from the library)  goodness that recently came into their possession.  

"Here's the mail, it never fails.  

 It makes me want to wag my tail.   

When it comes I want to wail - Maillllllll!"

So, Amazon bargain books, free shipping, and me with a credit card = impromptu shopping spree. I bought these books simply because I couldn't pass up the prices! I mean, I already own a hardcover copy of Peace, Love, and Baby Ducks but the paperback was only like $2 so I had to buy it right? Right?! *heehee* I can definitely feel a giveaway coming after the holidays ;)
