In My Mailbox (And a Rocking Contest Link)

So... I had a pretty good week in books... because, well, I got books which kind of makes it a winner. Plus, there's a pretty awesome contest going on right now, details of which are below. Also, as of Tuesday, NaNo is officially, technically done for me. Hit the sexy 50K Tuesday afternoon. Now I'm at about 59K, and hope to be done with the entire book by next weekend. It's a good feeling, and I hope the rest of you NaNo-ers are kicking butt too.


For Review:
Sean Griswold's Head by Lindsay Levitt
Playing Hurt by Holly Schindler
Crescendo by Becca Fitzpatrick


Bought/Traded:
Father of Lies by Ann Turner
Leverage by Joshua Cohen
Let's Get Lost by Sarra Manning
Guitar Girl by Sarra Manning

IMM is a weekly meme hosted by The Story Siren.

And that's what I got this week book wise... but before you run off, you should totally check out Leah Clifford's latest YA Rebels vlog. See, she has this basically amazing contest going on with it where you can not only get a signed ARC of her upcoming (effin awesome) book A Touch Mortal, but you can also pick the name for a character in book 2... AND. Yes, another and. You ALSO will be in the acknowledgments of book 2 to get all the glory for the name.

So how do you enter this amazing contest? Go check out her vlog HERE (which is, in and of itself, hilarious), and it has all the details for you. Basically, though, you spread the word and let Leah know in the comments, and give her the name you suggest. But be sure to check for names already suggested so you don't double up!

  2. Guitar Girl is pretty awesome, and Crescendo is okay-ish, I think it will really take you by surprise (I sure didn't expect half of what happened was going to happen)...
