I'm Back!!! & In My Mailbox (italian edition!)

I'm backkkkkkk!!! Sorry for the unannounced hiatus - some unexpected events popped up in my life so I had to put the blogging on hold (and then in July I was busy studying abroad in ITALY! Totally fabulous!)

I've got a lot of reviews to write and some cleaning up to do around the blog, but I'll be slowly easing back into the blogosphere :)

Anyways, onto the fun stuff! An IMM vlog of the books I bought while I was in Italy. In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by Kristi at The Story Siren to show off new books we've aquired.

Italians Lingering and Whispering (Maggie Stiefvater's blog post)

(some cover pics, sans my babbling):

So, what did you guys get in your mailbox this week??

more Italian madness.

I  just discovered (&fell in love with the covers for) the Italian editions of Shiver and Linger [which is titled “Deeper” – funny story about that actually, read it HERE] by Maggie Stiefvater. *sigh* These are definitely getting added to the ‘Italian books I would loveeee to get my hands on, but most likely never will because life is cruel and God forbid any bookseller makes these editions accessible to US citizens’ list.

Look at these covers! soooo pretty!!I love the minimalist-ness of them (I'm posting this at a kind-of-very-early-in-the-morning time when I should be sleeping, so I'm not capable of expressing myself in a professional & eloquent manner)

immense frustration.

As the title of this post implies, I am frustrated.

You may or may not have noticed that I am a huge fan of Rachel Vincent's work, especially her Shifters series. I am also an Italian major at my college... so imagine my excitement at hearing that Rachel Vincent's Shifters series was being published in Italian!

Then imagine my disappointment at not being able to find a single site that where I can order these books. Eeeeeeeeek!! I'm dying here! (not literally, of course). I've checked lots of sites, including  amazon, book depository, and eBay. If anyone knows of a site where I can order these books & get them shipped to the US pleaseee let me know. Thanks!

& Here are the lovely books I'm ranting about:
