In My Mailbox is a weekly event created by Kristi at The Story Siren where we all get to share the fabulous things that we received, bought or borrowed. It's a fun way to see all the great things happening to others in the book blogging community.
I am very excited today because I get to share my first ever video IMM with you all!! I got a Kodak PlaySport 2x3 video camera and a tripod for Christmas (I love it!). Please bare with me -- I have a cold so I might sound kind of off.

For Review:
Miss World
by Randi Black
It's 1993. Kim Ho wishes she were Courtney Love, instead of the chubby 16-year-old who clashes with her traditional Chinese parents. Her very own Kurt Cobain arrives in the form of Kevin, a 26-year-old failed musician. But Kevin uses Kim's rock-star dreams to exploit her, and those dreams die along with the real Kurt Cobain.Too scared to tell anyone, Kim conjures up a cross-dressing imaginary friend and dates Walter Riordan, the cute boy from special-ed. Walter helps her recover, but after a joke snowballs into a plot to murder Kevin, Kim's forced to choose between revenge or her sanity. This is a truly daring and original coming-of-age novel about one girl's quest to reclaim her power from those who've stolen it.
I am very excited to be reading this as part of the blog tour, which is being hosted by Paranormal Wastelands. While this book covers a genre of music that is not my main focus, as a musician who has traveled, competed, etc. the music 'element' of this book definitely intrigues me. I am also very curious because Randi Black seems to have a very unique writing style. I can't tell you what I think of the book yet -- but I can tell you that reading it looks like it will be interesting.
