On My New Arrivals Shelf (1)

As most of you may already know, there's been some serious drama in the blogosphere in the last week. Many have weighed in on it, and I've commented in just a couple of places. Mostly, though, I just don't want to take part in any of it. The only real change to what I've been doing is that I will not be participating in the IMM meme hosted by The Story Siren anymore, but I'll still show you what I got in this week, because I approve of any chance to admire books. :)

I considered just stopping with these posts, but I do like having the chance to thank people, since I might not always get the chance to read a book immediately, because there are so many. I might join another linkup at some point, but this is what I'm doing for now at least.

I didn't actually receive any books specifically for review this week, but I did get some lovely things in anyway. *snuggles with books*
