I’ve received a few books recently.
I won a cool contest over at Dark Faerie Tales. I got to pick three books from a list. I wanted Boneshaker but Angela couldn’t find her copy. Too sad. But here’s what I ended up with. Thanks Angela!
 | Deadtown by Nancy Holzner |
 | Wicked Enchantment (Dark Magic, Book 1) by Anya Bast |
 | Rampant by Diana Peterfreund |
 | Hex Hall Book One by Rachel Hawkins |
I can’t wait to read these!

Kimberly has released her trailer for her upcoming release of The Body Finder. The trailer is very lovely. The premise of the story sounds just awesome and scary!

Lisa Mantchev has released the ARC version of the cover art for book two of her Theatre Illuminata series, Perchance to Dream.
 | Perchance to Dream: Theatre Illuminata #2 by Lisa Mantchev May 25, 2010 |
I like it but I don’t think it’s as great as Eyes Like Stars. Where’s Bertie’s blue hair?! I like her blue hair.
ETA: Lisa let me know: “And Bertie dyed her hair at the end of Book 1, remember? Raven Wing Black with purple on the ends... the purple should show up better in a high res file, hopefully forthcoming soon.” So, that answers that question! I did forget. I read this a while ago. :(

I’m looking forward to continuing Bertie’s adventure.

Here’s a small list of contests I’ve seen around the blogosphere. I’ve probably missed a few but these are the ones that caught my eye!
As always, if you enter give me credit if it’s an extra entry point.
Good luck!
I’ve seen a lot of posts about best and least favorite books read in 2009.
Here are a few I just can’t believe how awesome they were! I’m including links to my reviews, if available. I’ve broken it down into Adult and YA categories.
Just a quick note: I hope everyone had an awesome holiday! Mine was great. Hubby was home since Christmas and started back to work today. :( I miss him so much! See my previous post about where I’ve been! I will be posting reviews so stay tuned. :)
Here’s what I got the last few weeks!
I’ve been MIA because hubby and I have gotten sucked back into WoW (World of Warcraft).
We reactivated our accounts for Christmas, right before Christmas, and haven’t stopped playing until today when hubby had to return to the land of 9-6. :(
I went from level 70 to 80 in a matter of days and I’m running heroics daily to get my badges of Triumph to get better gear.
I’m dual specked holy heals and shadow dps. I prefer healing but use the shadow spec to run around questing. Gotta get my rep up. :)
Do any of you play WoW? Here’s my info:
If you play on our server let me know!
I hope you all had a great holiday season. I can’t wait to get caught up on my blog. I’ve updated the layout theme but I have a ton of reviews to write!
Up next is my In My Mailbox post! Stay tuned!
