Hooray for recent giveaway winners Kathy and Melissa! :) Aren't giveaways fun? And they're Canadian, which is awesome. They've also gotten back to me, so there won't be any new winner pickings.
I read 3 books this week. I know, I'm surprised, too. Starling, Rage Within, and Live Through This. Urban fantasy with Norse mythology and a prophecy that'll bring about the Ragnarok, the end of the world. Somewhat post-apocalyptic second book in a series taking place in Vancouver after it was ripped apart by an earthquake and overrun by creepy and violent former people. Contemporary sexual abuse issues book. I'm all over the place this week.
There are still some books I have to read before I can start the January releases I have, but there's a war in my head over reading the books that I've had for a while and reading the books I want to read. Cause there's one I really want to read, but it's a 2013 debut and I want to put it towards the Debut Author Challenge. I think I'll be spending today (Saturday) making up my list for the DAC. :) Oh, debut authors, you've got that wonderful new car smell that just won't go away.
And I was able to keep up with NaNo. Still taking Saturdays off, though. I need time to decompress.
Ink by Amanda Sun (from Harlequin) (I flipped out so much when this showed up on Monday. It was like Monday was trying to prove it's not always a jerk. Many hugs to Amanda for asking Harlequin to send me an ARC. I really want to read this. 2013 YA debut, Canadian author, set in Japan, it's got ink drawings and dark magical bits. The second it's January, though, I'm pulling it out of its hiding place.)
Crash by Lisa McMann (from Simon & Schuster Canada) (Yay for more 2013 releases.)
Ink sounds like such a "Lindsay" book (if that makes sense). I can see it being one that you LOVE.
ReplyDeleteI feel your pain with the whole DAC thing. I have 2 books I am DYING to read but I want to count them towards my DAC numbers as well. They are totally teasing me.
Also, thank you again for the contest! Super excited that I won.
Ink sounds SO good! Can't wait to read it! :) I hope you enjoy.
ReplyDeleteI think Crash sounds absolutely AMAZING! I can't wait to get my hands on it! I hope you love it. :) Also the cover for Ink is quite cool! It's really different from most other book covers out there.
