Thanks to HarperCollins Children’s Books and Epic Reads, I won this ARC from a contest in the Shelf Awareness email newsletter. I haven’t read a lot of Neil Gaiman books, American Gods was one that I read and did really like though. So I knew that I was interested in this. The really cool thing […]
I finally got around to reading this! Not that I didn’t want to, just the size of it I think kept me from picking it up when I had sooooooo many other books to read. Not that I don’t still have a ton, I just decided with our late March snow last weekend that a […]
Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine where we spotlight upcoming releases that we’re eagerly awaiting. This week I’ve chosen a book that is in keeping with the current zombie trend/obsession of mine. I got an ARC of the first book last summer at BEA 2012, and read it last […]
Can I just say, WOW? Why in the world have I waited so long to read yet another ARC that was sitting on my shelf since before it was published? I mean this came out in September 2011, so I got the ARC before then, and it sat on my shelf. I’d only wanted it […]
I finally got around to reading this!! It’s been so long since I read Divergent, in fact it’s been since April of 2011!! I tried so hard last year to win an ARC, because I’d gotten to read Divergent as an ARC. And then I didn’t get to meet the author at BEA, and I […]
Another cool ARC I got from BEA last summer, and just hadn’t been able to get to until now. Unfortunately, it’s not autographed. So that means I’ll take it in and put it on my “check out” shelf in my classroom for my students to borrow. This is a book for people who like zombie […]
I got this as an Advanced Reader’s Edition through Shelf Awareness from an imprint of MacMillan, Feiwel and Friends. And I’m ashamed to admit, that once again, I was behind on my reading, and just now got to it, almost 3 months after it came out. It was a good story, and really a pretty […]
This was the only ARC I got from BEA that I hadn’t read yet, that hadn’t been published yet. All the other ARCs I have left from BEA have already been published. Too busy!! Aack! So I’m behind on those. From now on, all my advanced reviews will be from Netgalley for awhile. But anyway, […]
I can’t believe it took me so long to get to this. It was one that I had hoped to pick up at BEA, but didn’t. And then, a publicist from University of Minnesota Press contacted me when I mentioned on my blog that I didn’t get it, and offered to send me a copy. […]
I was so excited to get this ARC, and it came from the author herself! When I emailed and asked if there was anything she’d be willing to do to help me celebrate my 3rd Blogoversary, she emailed back saying that she was sending me something in the mail, and this was what I got!! […]
