In My Mailbox -49- Holiday Edition

In My Mailbox is hosted by Kristi over at The Story Siren every Sunday. In My Mailbox is a weekly meme that lets everyone see what books you have received or bought that week.

I've combined the last two weeks into one post, and I forgot to take a picture of the one item that I was most excited about receiving... an e-reader! I've joined the masses, and hope to branch out into reading more e-books though a book in my hands will still be my favourite method of reading. I'm pretty happy about the e-reader and incidentally, am working on reading my second e-book on it. I LOVE how it reads so far and am just really enjoying it. Anyway, I'll get on with the post... ;) I received a signed poster, bookmark and card from Holly Cupala for being a part of her Teen Book Scene Tell Me A Secret blog tour. Thank you Holly!

2010 Reading Challenges: It's a Wrap.

2010 was my first full blogging year and incidentally, I started blogging right around the time that everyone was joining the many 2010 reading challenges. Of course, I immediately jumped in and joined three challenges. I may have been a bit hasty with some of them. I now know what challenges I *should* be entering as I didn't even get a chance to complete two of the challenges I had signed up for. With any luck, this year I will be able to complete more of them, eh! 

I figured I'd be able to read at least 100 books this year, and I was right. I ended up finishing out the year with 127 books read in 2010. My wrap-up post for this challenge is located here. The original entry post for this challenge on J. Kaye's Book Blog now known as Home Girl's Book Blog can be found here.

Now for the challenges that I epically failed. 

I entered the 451 Challenge here. I had high hopes that I'd at least be able to read 7 titles from the list provided. Sadly, I didn't even read ONE. So this is my I suck wrap up for the challenge. ;)

The last challenge that I entered was the Take Another Chance Challenge hosted by Jenners at Find Your Next Book Here which is now known as Life... With Books. The challenge can be found here. I only read 1 of the 6 books that I had signed up to read with this challenge. At least, that one book was a fun read. I just wish I could have read some more. Ah well. Better luck next time. :)
