VOTE in the YA Academy Awards! Inspired by the Oscars a week from tonight, we're having our own YA awards show. There may be a fashion component. But for now, you can go here and help determine which four candidates will be nominated for Best Leading YA Guy of 2012, Best Leading YA Girl of 2012, Best Supporting Characters, and more! This round of voting ends Feb 19th at 9 am EST.

Don't let your favorites get left out in the cold!

Current Giveaways:

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.

    I 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.

    I'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.

    Jen! You are so sweet!!! Thanks for sending some of your followers over to me!

    I 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!

    I hope that you enjoy Mind Games more than I did. I wasn't a huge fan, but a lot of people have been loving it. I so want to read The Madness Underneath. I am excited to read Eleanor and Park, it's coming up on my list soon.

    I 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.
