In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by The Story Siren. I always love seeing what everybody else got, all those nice and shiny new books :)
This is actually a massive IMM, telling you what I got in the last 4 weeks. And I took pictures with my ancient digital cam (3 megapixel), probably not the best quality... I went a little crazy at 2 booksales, which amounts to 19 bought books.
