Happy Sunday! Hope you're looking forward to a great week ahead. First off....
Don't let your favorites get left out in the cold!

Enter to win Unravel Me by Tahereh Mafi, Scarlet by Marissa Meyer, or Crash/Clash by Nicole Williams. Through February 20.
For Hot Off the Presses, I've giving away a choice of new releases. Enter through Feb 18.
Reviews last week:
The Indigo Spell by Richelle Mead. Fondue, spirit dreams, t-shirts, AYE... How am I feeling about Sydrian after reading this third installment?
How To Lead a Life of Crime by Kirsten Miller. I love this author's over-the-top style, but did this story about a school for criminals go too far for me?
Pivot Point by Kasie West. Physics kind of makes my head hurt -- did I enjoy this story about parallel universes?
Notes From Ghost Town by Kate Ellison. I'm crazy about mysteries -- how did this one stack up?
What's on my TBR stack for next week?
Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell
Mind Games by Kiersten White
Plus, on the Kindle, I have The Madness Underneath by Maureen Johnson and Dualed by Elsie Chapman.
Winners from last week:
Hot Off the Presses: Julia from Juliababyjen's Reading Room
Love is in the Air Hop: Danielle B.
ONE LAST THING:
One of my long-time blog readers has just set up her own blog -- Tressa's Wishful Endings. Can you help me welcome her to the blogging community and go over and say hello?
What's new with you? Leave me a link so I can visit you back.
Nice haul. Mind Games is one that I would definitely like to pick up. Happy reading..

I'm excited to try that one out!
DeleteI read a nice review on Mind Games. Right now I'm reading Beautiful Creatures. I've only read the first couple of chapters and I like it. I was surprised the MC is a boy. That was a nice surprise.
ReplyDeleteI loved Beautiful Creatures :)
DeleteI can't wait to read Dualed, hopefully it will be worth the hype.
ReplyDeleteThe premise is very cool!
DeleteI hope you enjoy your reads this week - I've seen good reviews for Mind Games.

ReplyDeleteI know -- wonder if Jack the Ripper will be back, or some new ghoulish person!
DeleteI'm planning to read Eleanor & Park this week too for review next week. I have Presidents Day off and am hoping to finish at least two books to really jump ahead in my reading. Excited for your thoughts about The Madness Underneath as it was a mixed read for me.
ReplyDeleteHappy reading! I'm also hoping to get caught back up.
DeleteI've heard good things about Eleanor and Park. Mind Games seems to not be for everyone, but I look forward to hearing what you think. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm excited to try them.

Aw, thanks. I'm sure she'll appreciate it. We all remember being new and hoping someone would come by :)
DeleteJen! You are so sweet!!! Thanks for sending some of your followers over to me!
ReplyDeleteI have Mind Games on my list too - it's coming Tuesday. Madness Underneath looks good. I have a stack of books to get through. I'm reading Dark Star right now and picked up Embracing You, Embracing Me from NetGalley that sounded interesting. I did graduate from high school in 1997, so I'm curious to see what influence the time period plays. Have a great week!
Of course!!
DeleteMind Games looks really good, I may have to pick up a copy next week! Thanks for the giveaway!

DeleteI enjoyed Mind Games and hope you do too.

ReplyDeleteI'm excited for those!

My Haul: http://wwwthebookshelves.blogspot.com/2013/02/new-to-shelves-16-unravel-me-in.html
Thanks -- going to stop by in the morning!
DeleteNice book! Can't wait to read you thoughts :)
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteNice haul Jen, and I look forward to your take on Mind Games! The Sunday Post
ReplyDeleteI have Mind Games, but I think I might skip it. I've been relying on a lot of reviews lately to help me cut down on my reading load, and they're telling me to avoid this one. Which is probably just as well, since I couldn't even finish that last book in the Paranormalcy series. :( Hope you enjoy it though....looking forward to your review.
ReplyDeleteYay for new book blogs!
