In My Mailbox: Featuring Comic-Con Books =)

BOOKS.
For Review: You guys, I have definitely been stalking the mailbox in anticipation of this book. A bajillion thanks to Jennifer at Smart Pop Books for sending me a copy for review. I couldn't wait to start reading it and YOU GUYS IT IS AMAZING TRULY AMAZING I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!!


Book Blogger Trade: Thanks so much to Cade for sending me these -- they're both books that I've had on my wishlist for a while. I've heard Khy raving about Mostly Good Girls forever and Hourglass is the type of sci-fi I'm really excited to read. I basically just keep staring at these books on my shelves and feeling really really happy that I get to read them. 

ARCs from Comic-Con: Yes! I went to Comic-Con on Thursday! It was stellar except for the fact that I didn't get into the Psych panel. ALL OF THE LINES ARE SO INSANE!!! But anyway, about the books. I absolutely loved loved loved Matched and am thrilled to have an advance copy of Crossed. I also got to meet Marie Lu, author of upcoming Legend, and get a signed ARC. She was super-nice and gracious and I can't wait to read both of these books.

Bought at Comic-Con: DINOSAUR COMICS!!! SIGNED!!! And it's called Dudes Already Know About Chickens!

    Ahahaha, I *love* Dinosaur comics; that collection looks AWESOME.

    Also, super jealous you got to go to Comic-Con. I'd love to go to one someday, but I'm ridiculously scared of crowds, so even just looking at pictures of the con make me want to hyperventilate. Maybe one day. ;P

    I second Jessica's jealousy re: Crossed. I want it. Now.

    I think you'll really like Mostly Good Girls. It's strong, well-written contemporary YA.

    So jealous that you got Crossed and Legend. Those are two books on my wish-list! I absolutely loved Matched, and Legend just sounds so amazing! Happy reading this week, and thanks for commenting on my IMM!

    Haha YES!! I am quite jazzed about it. It looks like it's told from both Cassia AND Ky's POVs, which is a surprise to me. Hopefully it's as good as the first book.

    Dinosaur Comics = the awesomest. Also, yeah, Comic-Con is CRAZY PACKED. Honestly I love going, but I'm typically not able to get into the panels I want just because of how long the lines are and me not willing to wait in a line for like... four hours or however long.

    YAY for more Mostly Good Girls love. I'm excited to read it. And Crossed!
