Extra! Extra! is my weekly post featuring any and all exciting blog news.

This weekend I'm linking up to Sunday Post hosted by Kimba the Caffeinated Book Reviewer

What happened on the blog this week? Here's a quick rundown:

 Monday I kicked off my $50 Shopping Spree Giveaway! You can enter that here.

Tuesday was Hot Off the Presses Day, where I showcased new YA releases. And, yes, there's a giveaway!

Wednesday I told you about The Diviners by Libba Bray -- the audiobook version. It was the longest book I've ever listened to -- what did I think of those 18 hours?

Thursday I took the day off to cook Thanksgiving dinner!

Friday I held a special Freebie Friday in honor of Small Business Saturday. There's still time to drop by and tell me about your favorite indie bookstore for a chance to win a book of your choice (up to $20) from Books of Wonder!

Saturday I told you about Elemental by Antony John. Did this book about the elements blow me away?

Here are some new e-ARCs I got from either Edelweiss or NetGalley. Thanks to the awesome publicity/marketing teams at HarperTeen and KTeen! Can't wait to read these!

Just click on each cover to find out more and add them to Goodreads!

    Great haul this week. I got Mila 2.0 and Taken too. I wasn't sure about Pivot Point so I didn't request it, but I just read an awesome review for it so I think I might go back and try requesting it now. Hope you love all the books!!

    Great list! I requested Taken but have not yet been approved, which I'm guessing means no but I have so many other awesome books. I'll be very interested in your review when you post. Happy reading :)

    I LOVED Pivot Point! Mila 2.0 and Taken are popular this week. I never go to Edelweiss but I'll have to pop in. I got one book from them and have yet to figure out how to get it on my kindle lol I prefer Netgalley much more user friendly. Happy reading!

      It's just as easy as Netgalley -- just one click. LMK if you need help!
