Okay, so today I got my awesome package in the mail from my awesome partner, Emily at Follow the Yellow Book Road. The first glance when I opened the first flap of the box was this:
I saw the cover of Landry Park, and if I hadn’t been at work in the high school library where I work, I would have screamed and danced! I have wanted this book for a long time, and even last night when I was working at the bookstore I was thinking about how much I wanted it. So this was very exciting.
Now, here is the picture of everything my awesome partner sent me:
The rules were to give:
- A book from your partner’s wishlist: Landry Park by Bethany Hagen
- A book you loved: Graceling by Kristin Cashore
- A book you’ve wanted to read: Born of Illusion by Teri Brown
My partner had sent an email the first day letting me know she might not get my package mailed by the set date, and she decided since she was late to throw in an extra book, The Lost Prince by Julie Kagawa. Honestly, she didn’t need to do that, I totally understood, but with that being the extra book, I’m definitely not complaining either! Of course I still have to finish the The Iron Fey series before I can start that one, but it will happen! Another thing that was part of the deal was some kind of book swag, etc. I got a cool The Fault in Our Stars bookmark too. I’d actually been talking to my bookstore manager about Graceling last night, so I’m now excited to have my own copy to read. And Born of Illusion is a book I remember seeing around a lot, and wondering about, so now I’m very excited to get to read it as well!
Thanks so much Emily! This was a lot of fun. I think everyone who can participate should try to do that in the future!

It was fun! I have trouble buying books I want for myself, but when I buy for someone else and then they buy for me, it all works out! YOu should go sign up for whenever they do the next one.
Amazing idea! I'm glad that you loved all the books that you got, and I hope that you enjoy them! 🙂

I'm so envious! Those are books I hear great things about! I read Born of Illusion, but now I NEED to read Graceling. Clearly, your getting it is a sign. 😉
Thanks for joining us for this swap!
I'm so excited to read these books. Thanks again for hosting this!
I'm so glad you love them! I totally agree, it's hard to buy books for myself but it's always fun to buy for someone else and your wishlist made it so easy to choose! Happy Reading! Looking forward to your reviews!
