This week was full of treats for me. I went to a 30 Seconds to Mars concert at The National in Richmond, VA. The venue is awesome and there isn't a bad seat in the house. Well there aren't any seats because it's standing room only (aside from the balcony). The concert was so much fun and the energy of the crowd was crazy.

While we were in Richmond, we visited Fountain Bookstore. I had never been there before but made it a point to check it out. As I've mentioned before there aren't any independent bookstores were I live, so when I visit a new town, I like to check out the local book scene. The owner, Kelly, was very attentive and gave me a few book recommendations while I was there and even recommended a great place to have lunch. I loved visiting the store and will stop in the next time I am in town.

Since I couldn't pass up giving an indie bookstore my business, I ended my self-imposed book buying ban a day early and got some really great books. They are supposed to be my Valentine's Day gift from my hubby. He told me to get five which I thought was excessive (haha) and picked out only four.I guess he doesn't know that I have Delirium coming in the mail.

I also won some fun treats which arrived this week. I won BADD from Random Buzzers. I love the paintball themed cover. I also received a The Replacement themed charm bracelet from Brenna Yovanoff and I Know It's Over tote from C.K. Kelly Martin. I received the book a few weeks ago, and the tote just came this week. I love it! Thank you all so much!

I can't wait to see what you got in your mailbox this week.
