Today's Extra! Extra! is packed with news of winners! But first....
Shocking news -- I did not buy any new books this week! I did get an Epic Reads prize package from a HarperTeen contest. I won the prize a couple months ago and I thought the books were lost, but then my post office found them!
Thank you HarperTeen! You're amazing. Glad my books and I were finally united.
Great giveaway!!
My blogger friend Eliza at GirlsPWN is hosting a giveaway of my favorite summer reads. She's such a sweetheart -- we share a deep suspicion of zombies. You could win Throne of Glass or Pushing the Limits or well, just check it out here and enter to win!

I reviewed Survive by Alex Morel
Treachery of Beautiful Things by Ruth Frances Long AND
Between You and Me by Marisa Calin
Monday I'm reviewing Stone Girl by Alyssa Sheinmel as part of a blog tour.
Tuesday find out what new YA books are releasing.
Wednesday is our last day of Vampire Academy summer school

Whew, that was a lot of news. What's new with you this week?
Congrats on winning the Epic Reads giveaway-I have no idea how your post office lost a package that size and yet it is very believable based on my experiences with the post office.
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks again for your giveaway-I can't wait to read Cold Fury!
Yeah, the package just sat there for six weeks. They didn't notify me that I had to pick it up. I'm just glad I finally got it!!
DeleteLove Will Herondale. Clockwork Prince got 5 Stars from me. And LOVE Vampire Academy too! And wow...nice score with the Epic Reads giveaway. JEALOUS! :) Sounds like you've had a good week.
ReplyDeleteCheck out my IMM & Sunday Post.

I have had a good week, thank! And I'm really loving Clockwork Angel!
Deletewhat a great prize pack! I knew I should've been a book blogger.
ReplyDeleteOur suspicion of zombies will help us prepare for when it happens. There's a reason why the CDC talks about them http://www.cdc.gov/phpr/zombies.htm
just saying...
I wil definitely check that out...
DeleteCongrats on winning some awesome books from Epic Reads. Amazing haul this week... Enjoy.

Thanks -- I was so excited because I rarely win things!!
DeleteGreat thing the post office found it. Though I wonder how it got lost. Anyway, at least, it's in your possession now. Thanks again for the Throne of Glass! I'm excited to read it. Happy reading with those books! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat prize pack, I've heard a lot about them!
ReplyDeleteHappy reading,
Brandi from Blkosiner’s Book Blog
I was SO excited. I never win stuff.
DeleteGreat haul!! That's a whole lot of great books. I'm glad that the post office was able to find your books and you got them. I know most of the time it's a lost cause trying to locate lost things.
ReplyDeleteI know, seriously... I had given up all hope!!
DeleteWow that's really great that your books were recovered. I see a bunch of titles I have to read. Not much here except work that seems to take up more time than it really does. Hopefully my muscles will get used to it so when I come home I won't be exhausted.Sadly I'm still reading The Wild Ones but am much closer to finishing.
ReplyDeleteOh and my copy of The Lying Game came in yesterday. I will be reading that next.
DeleteWow now that's what I call a prize PACK!! :) Awesome books. I know you'll enjoy in them! :) Also thank you for posting the link of my blog! ;) ;)
ReplyDeleteI know -- I was so excited. Especially since I had given up all hope...
DeleteWOW! That's a prizepack...And the titles...BOTH Angelini novels AND Tiger Lily?!?! Verrrrry nice...
ReplyDeleteI really want to read Tiger Lily and Something Strange and Deadly. And I gave away my copy of Starcrossed so now I have another one!
DeleteThat's an amazing prize pack..lol Congrats!I'm glad you finally got it!
ReplyDeleteI'm really looking forward to wednesday!
Me too -- I can't believe it's the last week...
Deleteooh, great prize pack! sucks that it didn't show up right away, though. I always hate that. :(
ReplyDeleteI had given up and then ... voila the post office produces it like a rabbit out of a hat!
Deleteooh love your book haul..I am going to check for any reviews I missed and look forward to your review of Stone Girl this week. Thanks for being a part of The Sunday Post Have an awesome book filled week!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for stopping by!
DeleteJust started Sweet Evil and am really enjoying it! What a great win for you! All those books look great!
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy it!!
DeleteWhat an AWESOME package from HarperTeen! I'm jealous! Or, should I say what an EPIC package! :)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy all your reading! I'm hoping to get to The Stone Girl this week ... can't wait!
Ha ha -- it was Epic, including the epic saga of me wondering what had happened to it and then .... a happy ending.
DeleteThose are amazing books! I have Something Strange and Deadly and Arise on my shelf waiting to be read. I've heard great things so far, so *fingers crossed*. Hereafter is really good and Dreamless is even better than Starcrossed. Tiger Lily sounds like a great re-telling. Enjoy all of these Epic reads! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much -- I'm super excited for the ones you mentioned. Except Dreamless -- I also liked that one. Love underworld stories!
DeleteWow! What a busy week! Looks like you got some fantastic books. Tiger Lily is on my list- I have heard it is good, but dark. Thanks for all of the announcements. :)
