Here's what I've received over the past few weeks:
For Review:
- Just One Day by Gayle Forman
- The Madness Underneath (Shades of London #2) by Maureen Johnson
These are two of my most anticipated books of 2013, so needless to say I was THRILLED to be able to receive ARCs of them.
- Tempestuous by Kim Askew and Amy Helmes
- Exposure by Kim Askew and Amy Helmes
- The Girl in the Wall by Daphne Benedis-Grab
- The Lives We Lost (Fallen World #2) by Megan Crewe
Thanks to the authors:
- The Kiss Off by Sarah Billington
- Impossible by Komal Lewis
For blog tour:
- The Warlock's Curse by M.K. Hobson
Gifted from Robin Brande:
- Fire & Ice (Hearts on Fire #2) by Elizabeth Ruston
Robin has begun to write adult romance novels under the name Elizabeth Ruston, and she is always so incredibly sweet to send her books my way, with no obligation for review or anything. You can check out my Goodreads review for 'Freefall' here -- it's a really sweet book featuring some amazing characters.
I would also be remiss not to mention the awesome Ontario Book Blogger Meetup for 2012, which occurred on November 3 in Toronto. I was privileged enough to attend for the 2nd year in a row. I received a ton of amazing books through trade/giveaway from fellow bloggers, and through the generosity of all the Canadian publishers who were part of the meet up. I feel bad not doing a huge recap for the event, but I just don't feel up to it right now. I'm excited to check out all the books I received through the event, especially Sever by Lauren DeStefano. I adored Wither, but I felt kind of so-so toward Fever, so I'm definitely excited to see where the trilogy ends.And those are my awesome titles. Can't wait to see which books are stacking your shelves this week. =)
Oh...some great books there! I just finished The Girl in the Wall (be forewarned, the e-Arc is a little messed up...at least mine was) and just won Warlock's curse! I would love to see your recap of the meet-up even if it's not for a while. Yay for Sever! The Madness Underneath looks so good too :)
ReplyDeleteOoh darn I hate when eARCs are formatted all wonky. I'll be sure to look out for that. =)
DeleteI loved Wither too, and while Fever wasn't as good, I still can't wait to read Sever. Seeing that the ARCs of it our out makes me so happy, and I can't wait to read it!!
ReplyDeleteYes I am definitely excited! Hopefully I'll have some time to read it soon-ish.
DeleteJust One Day! I think I saw you give it 5 stars on Goodreads? I am looking forward to that one, and of course your review. I really want to get my hands on a copy of Sever. I love the series, and even Fever, and am curious on how it will all end. :)
ReplyDeleteYou can check out what books I got this week here!
Yes, I felt conflicted over some parts of it, but I still loved other parts enough for 5 stars because I couldn't stop thinking about it afterward!
DeleteOMG I want to read "Just One Day" SOOOO badly!!! :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome haul!
Here's my IMM:

I know, I was SO incredibly psyched. It's rare that I freak out about ARCs, but that was one that I was dying for. I hope you can get a copy, and otherwise hopefully console yourself that it's only a couple/few months away. :S
DeleteGreat books!! I'm glad you got some of your most awaited for 2013 ones :D
ReplyDeleteThanks =) I was definitely so excited
DeleteOoh I'll definitely have to check out Gayle Foreman's new one! And The Lives We Lost!! On Netgalley? I thought Disney-Hyperion doesn't approve for bloggers! OMG must go check it out. :)
ReplyDeleteNice to see you again last week!!

I'm not sure what the policy is now that Netgalley is all changed.. I've heard some bloggers get it. Personally I've always had access to them because of my status being librarian (even though I haven't actually worked in a library yet).
DeleteSo good to see you too! I wish I was a bit closer to TO so I could hang out with all of you more often.
Oooh! Look at all the lovelies!! :D "Sever" (obviously everyone is wanting this one :D I hope you enjoy it!) Im very curious about Warlocks Curse though I'll definitely have to look into it - Great stacking the shelves this week :)

Yes, The Warlock's Curse sounds really good, so I'm excited to be a part of the tour. =)
DeleteAwesome books this week, Ashley! Just One Day!!! I'm so jealous! And Sever! I really liked Wither, but wasn't a huge fan of the second book, BUT I can't wait to see how it all wraps up. YAY!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy all your reads!
Ha, I feel like almost everyone had the same opinion about Fever... I'm definitely curious to hear how it all ends!
DeleteOoh the Madness Underneath! Lucky! I've really enjoyed the Name of the Star. It was so nice to see you in person Ashley!. That is so dangerous that you showed me those NetGalley titles are available. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI'm reading The Madness Underneath now... very excited!
DeleteIt was so lovely to meet you as well!! =)
I just picked up THE WAY WE FALL on the weekend, so exciting to see the sequel in your StS post. :)
ReplyDeleteOoh awesome! I really really enjoyed TWWF, so I'm psyched to check out the sequel sometime soonish.
DeleteOoh Just One Day and Sever! I got a package from Penguin today and I was really hoping it was Just One Day, I'm so silly. Can't wait to hear what you think of it! Thanks for sharing your awesome reads. Hope you enjoy them all :)
ReplyDeleteOh I would be hoping the same thing. I feel so fortunate to have it!
DeleteOmg Just One Day! I am definitely looking forward to this one! I read and LOVED If I Stay and Forman's writing, so I know this one will be great too! Great haul!
ReplyDeleteMy Stacking the Shelves
Have you read Where She Went?? I loved that one even more than If I Stay. Either way her writing is definitely fabulous!
DeleteI think I am the most excited for Just One Day and Sever. I hope you enjoy both those books. I actually can't wait for Just One Day. I plan on reading it as soon as I can!!!
