Happy Sunday! I'm changing up my IMM name just a bit. This weekly post is still featuring the goodies I got in the mail (which is an IMM post), but I'm thinking of changing the name of IMM to something that fits more of what this post is. It features more than book. I want to change the name of the meme to better fit what I was posting about here on MM's, because it's about Books, News & Other Things. This meme was inspired from The Story Siren's IMM, which I'm still labeling this post as on my blog, but don't be surprised if you see a name change for it in the coming weeks.
I hope you guys have had a great week. It's been a crazy busy, but fun one for me. I was hoping to do a video today, but my office is still torn apart from being painted yesterday. Hopefully next week I'll get one done. Here's some of the goodies that were added to my bookshelves this week:
