Well, I failed again this week at my book ban. I blame my insane ability to set aside that voice in the back of my head that tells me I’m running out of shelf space. I also was able to meet up with the amazing NotNessie from Today’s Adventure and have a book swap. Turns out she’s a local blogger and is beyond nice. Seriously, I cried a little inside from all she gave to me (tears of absolute joy, of course).
So, without further ado, here is my IMM for this week. Oh, and I apologize if the photo quality isn’t all that spectacular – I’m still working out the kinks for posting photos this way!
From NotNessie
At Grave’s End, One Foot in the Grave, Halfway to the Grave, Destined for an Early Grave all by Jeaniene Frost. I’ve been warned it’s very adult, so I’m thoroughly excited to read them! Has anyone out there read them already? What did you think?

Man, you have some crazy good luck with used book shopping! Whenever I go I rarely find anything that good... maybe I should check out Value Village.

WOW! You have had a really good week this week! I have read the Night Huntress series and I can tell you that it is AWESOME! It definitely isn't a YA book but I wouldn't say it is particularly explicit either, but then I am a complete smut queen so my view may be slightly skewed!
New followere here!
My IMM
Suzanne @ Under the Covers
Great haul! I don't have much hope for my book ban either, but I'll have to try my best. You made some awesome purchases - especially with Vampire Academy!
Enjoy!
Books of Amber

Loved Vampire Academy. I simply adore Richelle Mead.
Happy Reading!

Holy moly. Lots on here I want to read/get at some point. And I covet the arc cover of Wolfsbane, too. Don't think I'll get a finished copy, actually, because I want that cover.
Enjoy!
OMG. You got The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer! I'm so jealous and I can't wait to read Wolfsbane either. Awesome IMM! Check out my IMM

What??? You have a book ban but got so many books. Wow, I thought I was bad. :o I didn't get anything new this week, but that's okay considering I already have a huge, huge number of books in my To Be Read pile. Got to get caught up somehow!
You got a nice set of books. I really want to read Bumped.
Happy Reading,
Book Sniffers Anonymous
Did you have to get a forklift to get all of the books out of your mailbox and into your house ;)
Looks like you are going to enjoy reading all of them.
Following you on GFC.
