Hi everyone! I hope everyone's holidays went well! I was pretty busy but now I'm getting back to blogging. I have reviews of Beautiful Darkness, The Goddess Test, and Witches of East End which I'm hoping to get up on the blog later this week. I also started participating in the Waiting on Wednesday meme. You can check out my first post for that here.

And now onto the books!


For Review:
Melody Burning by Whitley Strieber (Thanks MacTeen InGroup!)

Purchased:
The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie by Alan Bradley

Hi everyone! I'm on my winter break, otherwise known as reading break, since that's how I will be spending most of my time off. I only got one book in my mailbox this week, but it's a good one.

That's it for me! What did you get in your mailbox?

Hi guys! I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I finally was able to come home from college and spend the holiday with my family. It also gave me a chance to open my mail, which included quite a few books!

Won:
Blood Magic by Tessa Gratton (signed! Thanks Maggie!)

Bought (from Book Depository):
Beautiful Darkness by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl
Fateful by Claudia Gray (The picture does not do the beautiful shiny cover justice!)

I also found out earlier this month that I was chosen by RandomBuzzers to be an ambuzzador! I'm really excited! If you don't know what RandomBuzzers is, than I highly suggest you check it out. They have awesome book giveaways and interviews with some of YA's top authors. I love it, and I hope you will too. As an ambuzzador, I received some awesome books.

This IMM is a little late...my apologies. I've been pretty busy. I only got two books for review this week.
The first is a non YA book that I won on Booktrib.



Little Did I Know by Mitchell Maxwell (goodreads/Amazon)

The other book I received came in the mail today, and I'm really excited about it.

The Power of Six by Pittacus Lore (goodreads/Amazon)

I haven't read I Am Number of Four yet, but I have seen the movie. I don't want to read this series out of sequence, so I will have to wait until I get the first one. Thanks, Harper Teen!

In other news, I am going to college tomorrow! I don't know how much this is going to effect my blogging, but I can say that my IMM posts will be less frequent. I will still try to get at least one review per week on the blog. Please be patient with me as I figure out the logistics of this blogging while in college thing.

That's it for me. What did you get in your mailbox?

I finally won a blog giveaway! After months and months of entering giveaways, I'm finally validated. Okay, enough of that. On to what I won. Drumroll, please.......................

Dust & Decay by Jonathan Maberry.

I'm really excited about this book. It is the sequel to Rot & Ruin, which I haven't read yet. I'm planning on reading both back to back in october. Halloween + zombies = awesome!

I won the book here.

I purchased some great books at a Borders closing sale this week. I'm so sad that Borders is closing. My heart goes out to all of their great employees. Okay, moving on to the books!

Behemoth by Scott Westerfeld (Goodreads / Amazon)

This is the second book in the Leviathan trilogy. I haven't read the first book, but it's been on my wishlist for a very long time. It looks amazing!

Elixir by Hilary Duff (Goodreads / Amazon)

I bought this book on a whim. I've heard a lot of mixed reviews on it, but I've always liked Hilary Duff, so I'll give it a chance.

Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick (Goodreads / Amazon)

I've wanted to read this series for a while, so this has moved to the top of my TBR list.

That's all I got this week. What did you get in your mailbox?
