Won from the March Contemps Challenge:
Other Words for Love by Lorraine Zago Rosenthal
The Fortune of Carmen Navarro by Jen Bryant
Twenty Boy Summer by Sarah Ockler
What Would My Cell Phone Do? by Micol Ostow

Gift from Holly Cupala:
Tell Me a Secret (signed)
My Not-so-Still Life
A TMAS shirt, swag, and a CD

Kiki Hamilton sent me a copy of The Faerie Ring for the upcoming blog tour, but I'm also blurbed in it! I couldn't get a good picture since my camera is crappy, but  yay!

Won from Princess Bookie's Contest Craze:
Truth & Dare Anthology
Silver Phoenix by Cindy Pon

I also won a jacket proof from Michelle Hodkin for The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer, along with a scene from the book which I can honestly say is fantastic and amazing and I am absolutely DYING for this book! She wrote something on the back of the proof as well as the scene, which was also just... rawr. Sorry the picture didn't come out well. The cover is SO gorgeous though, and the title is shiny! And it reflects weird from the flash. But it's pretty! And feels sexy. And I couldn't stop staring for like a day. Trust me. You want this book! Michelle also sent me a copy of Fallout by Ellen Hopkins, but I forgot to take a picture with it...

So that was my week! Definitely loving everything, and the contest stuff is always great to get in!

  5. I am dying to get my hands on an ARC of The Faerie Ring! I saw my blurb in it at TLA, but by the time I got over there they had run out of ARCs. It's so exciting bloggers are blurred in it.
