The idea behind IMM was not only to put new books on your radar but to also encourage blogger interaction. IMM explores the weekly contents of my mailbox & books bought. And sometimes other fun goodies.
Anyone can participate in IMM and you are not limited to only sharing books that arrive via your mailbox. You can also share books that you've bought or books that you've gotten at the library.

Also, I have two contests going on right now! You can see them listed above. The first is a giveaway actually hosted at Elena's Book Cafe, but we're working together on it, so there will also be two winners! Go check it out!
The other giveaway is a copy of Infinite Days by Rebecca Maizel! Go enter that one too! These are BOTH international, so good luck!
I hadn't heard of "Indigo Blues" before, but from your quick synopsis, it reminded me of "Audrey, Wait!" where the main character breaks up with her musician boyfriend and he writes an angry diatribe song about her that ends up being his big break. Nice video! It is less daunting to start with shorter books. Lately I've noticed myself reading multiple books at the same time (not *literally,* but switching back and forth between them). I don't really like doing that, though, because it breaks up the stories too much.
ReplyDeleteHi, I love your IMM. You do video, I could never do that.
ReplyDeleteI have to ask where you are from though, I'm sorry for being nosey but your books go the opposite way to mine. Its kind of cool.
Thanks for following me, I'm going to follow you to.
Looks like some great books! Happy Reading!!
ReplyDeleteThis week I got The Time of my Life by Patrick Swayze and Lisa Nieme (This really isn't the type of book I read but it was a bargain book and its PATRICK SWAYZE so I couldn't resist. I also got Bliss by Lauren Myracle
ReplyDeleteBea: Indigo Blues does sound a lot like that other book, I think it's the same premise. I switch back and forth books a lot too, not intentionally, but sometimes I forget I didn't finish one so I start another!
ReplyDeleteNicky: I think the books going the opposite way is just because it's mirrored on my webcam, if that's what you mean. I'm from the US. :)
I really want to read The Ivy! Hope you enjoy all your books!
ReplyDeleteCute blog! I'll be following!
I've heard good things about Ally Carter and Kristin Cashore! Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteGreat vlog! I loved Graceling, and the Ally Carter books are great. I'm also reading Halo right now! I've only just started. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteHehe that sounds like a good explination. I was just wondering why do they look backwards, its been a long day.

I also try and read the smaller books first it never works out for me though.

I have the same reading tactic as you-- read the smaller books first. I think you will love Graceling-- it's one of my all-time favorites. Happy reading. :)
