Won from Epic Reads:
Now, rarely am I able to watch the Epic Reads live videos. But I've been fortunate in the past month or so to be able to watch a couple. The last time I watched, I was one of the winners of the *book shimmy* bag from tweeting along with the show. When the package arrived at my house this week, there was a book wrapped up inside the bag! Patrick Carman is an author I really do like and have even met. While I haven't yet read his new book Pulse, I now have it reserved at the library, so that I can read that, and then read this cool ARC I got of the sequel to it, Tremor. So thanks to the Epic Reads girls!!

The first one, Eleanor and Park, I've heard so many great things about, and it was a really good deal for the e-book so I downloaded it to give it a try. The second one, Brooke, I went ahead and downloaded, and finished reading this week so that I would have another review for the week. As someone pointed out on one of my giveaways, I need to maybe do more reviews. The third one, Forgotten Lyrics, is an e-novella I didn't even know existed. When I saw it, I had to download it, and will have to fit it in. I loved the series, which I thought got better and better, so it is exciting to revisit it. The fourth one, City of Dark Magic, is one that I saw in a Nook Daily Deal email. Although I haven't read this author (or authors as I've learned) before, this one sounds like it might be good.
I've got several e-galleys I've requested, both from Edelweiss and Netgalley, and I'm waiting to hear if I'm approved. I really hope I am!!
So, what will you be adding to your shelf this week?
That's so cool that you won one of the book shimmy totes with a cool ARC inside! The Epic Reads ladies rock!
ReplyDeleteAnd I can't wait for you to read Eleonor and Park, I so LOVED that book!
I was so excited to see the book wrapped up in the bag. I'll read it probably in the next month or so. Glad to hear you liked it.
DeleteI've yet to read a Rainbow Rowell novel but Eleanor & Park looks like a good one! I'm still working my way through Under the Never Sky but I hope you enjoy all of your new books!! :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great holiday!

Oooh, thanks for stopping by! I'll check out your post, and the giveaway!
DeleteI've heard great things about Eleanor and Park but haven't gotten to it yet. Happy reading
ReplyDeleteTeresa @ Readers Live A Thousand Lives
I hear great things too, and for the price I couldn't pass it by!
DeleteThose book shimmy bags are seriously the cutest! I would carry my books everywhere in it if I had one. :) And what a fun surprise to find a book inside! Eleanor and Park is seriously so good; all that hype about Rainbow Rowell is justified. Happy reading!!
ReplyDeleteRachel @ Paper Cuts
Glad to hear the hype is justified!! Eleanor and Park isn't the one that really intrigues me, Fangirl is, but I'll start with this one.
DeleteI just read Eleanor & Park. It is really wonderful.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear it!
DeleteI have Eleanor & Park on my Kindle. I am reading Fangirl right now and loving it. Thanks for visiting my blog. Have a great holiday and happy reading!
ReplyDeleteFangirl is the one that I really want to read, but for the price Eleanor and Park will be first.
DeleteYay for a book bag goodie! I love getting things like that. :D And Brooke! I have to get that novella because I am curious about it even though I didn't really enjoy first two novels too much.
ReplyDeleteHappy reading!
Sorry to hear you didn't enjoy the first two books. And I do love those goodies, although, I have so many bags!!! :-)
DeleteEleanor & Park is a great book. I hope you enjoy it :-) Have a good Christmas!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I hope I do as well.
DeleteI borrowed from a friend "Let Me In" (impossible to remember the author's name as he is Swedish - their names are like tongue-twisters!) and I received as early Christmas gift the Millenium series by Stieg Larsson. Can't wait to read it! I really have to get a Kindle, too, so that I may request ARC copies of books - reading books before they're published? Yes, please!
ReplyDeleteMada @ All Fantasy Worlds
The e-reader is awesome for getting advanced copies. Although I do miss the actual physical ARCs that I could sit and look at on my shelves. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteThat's awesome you won one of the Book Shimmy bags! I read Eleanor & Park for review back before it was released and I'm one of the people that thought it was just an ok book. I gave it like 3 stars I think. Obviously a ton of people loved it though. Thanks for stopping by my post!
ReplyDeleteHmm, well, it was a good price. I really want to read Fangirl, it sounds more my type. But we'll see! Glad to know not everyone LOVED it. That will help me to go in with some better expectations.
DeleteThat's so awesome that you won one of the Book Shimmy bags and that there was an ARC for Tremor in it! I absolutely loved Eleanor & Park so I really hope you do too :)
ReplyDeleteI still need to get around to reading the Under the Never Sky novellas. Are they good?
Great haul this week! Happy reading :)
I have enjoyed both of the novellas for the Under the Never Sky series. The Roar and Liv one was the best as it was kind of a prequel. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteYou said Nook Daily Deal email and I am suddenly wondering why I am not subscribed to that. Even though BookBub is burning a hole in my account (.99 cents at a time!)
ReplyDeleteI know! I was getting the weekly email for my Nook, and then I saw to sign up for a Daily Deal email, and boy am I glad I did. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteI am so jealous of your book shimmy bag! I'd love to be out and about with a book shimmy bag and then actually have someone recognize what it is. How cool would that be? Also, I hope you love Eleanor and park. It was one of my favorites of 2013.
ReplyDeleteI am so excited for it! I probably won't get to Eleanor and Park till 2014, but hope it is as good as everyone says!
DeleteLoved Under The Never Sky! Enjoy.

Under the Never Sky is a great series! Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteI've had Eleanor & Park sitting on my Nook for so long now! Hopefully I'll find free time to get to it soon! And I need to catch up with the UTNS series too! Happy reading Lisa!
ReplyDeleteIt will probably be a 2014 read for me. And Under the Never Sky turned out much better than I'd thought! Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteWhat a nice haul!! And congrats on your win from Epic Reads. I hope you enjoy your books!!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!! xx
Thanks! I was very excited about it!
DeleteGorgeous books. <3 I really loved Eleanor & Park :) Hope you enjoy everything. <3
