Additionally, many book bloggers give (host book giveaways) as well as receive; others shouldn't become envious except perhaps over autographed, rare editions. I also find that this meme brings out the support of others, not negative regard. Enjoy your new books! :) I think this meme (or Mailbox Monday) is pure fun; it gives us a chance to “boast” a bit about our newest acquisitions, but really, we are just sharing what we have gotten, because we all share a love of books.

Added publicity can't hurt, and I know I've added plenty of books to my TBR list because of IMM. Misha - I think you make a very good point :) Shan - That's what I hope! Those of us who 'get' the spirit of it will keep enjoying it. Joy - Me too! Haha. I like spying on other peoples' bookshelves! Cass - I like seeing what other people get in the mail too, it's like Christmas every week for all of us! It's just like asking 'what did you get?' after a birthday or holiday - we're all curious! Dezmond - Amazon doesn't send to Serbia?! Aww, that sucks. Have you tried BookDepository.com? They offer free shipping to just about anywhere in the world. But then I'm talking about buying rather than reviewing, and you probably have a local store or two to get books from. It's really too bad that publishers won't send free books overseas. April - That's good to hear! I've never read his stuff before, but have wanted to for awhile, so I finally caved... yes, I have a problem... can't... stop... buying...!!! Alison - Yay! I can't wait to read them all, I think I just need to quit working so I can spend all day reading... :) Lori - Thank you! I will! Carrie – That’s what I figure!

Unfortunately most publishers and free-gift-givers do not sell their stuff overseas, so I can't use my blog to get great things like this. Even Amazon doesn't send books to Serbia :( Oh, so many lovely books, Faith!

I haven't really seen too many people ego-ing it up, so I don't have issues with it. Just the drooling over the keyboard has gotta stop one day. :S Great books this week! I hope you enjoy them.

Why else would the number of books in someone mailbox matter one bit to them? I think that people trying to make In My Mailbox to be egocentric, are in fact… well… jealous egocentrics.
