This Week's Headlines:
HEEYYYY! *throws a party* Now as I'm writing this, I'm telling you that I'm the most tired and drained out person ever. I just made an electric car for science, and it ruined my whole weekend because I didn't get to read at all today... AND IT'S THE WEEKEND! Now we all know what I'll be doing after writing this post and during all of tomorrow haha. It's working pretty well, and I'm not that into physics so things took a while to be made perfect. But it's all good now.How are you all? Other than today's drainage, I'm awesome. THE BEA SCHEDULE OF AUTOGRAPHING IS FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY OUT! I've been checking Twitter frantically for the past few days, and there's been no sign until Friday came and made my day. As of today, I REPEAT THAT THERE'S ONLY ONE MONTH LEFT UNTIL I LEAVE FOR THE TIME OF MY LIFE! I can't wait to meet you guys there!
And yesterday I found a great deal for business cards on VistaPrint, where I also designed my cards (which look amazing), and I'm ordering them today! $8.99 for a pack of 250? THAT'S AMAZING. I'm so excited, guys!
My Book Haul:
The Clouded Sky by Megan Crewe: I was ecstatic when I found out that I've won an autographed finished copy of this beauty from the amazing author herself! I still have to read the first one, but I'm sure that I'll be obsessed, just as I was with The Way I Fall. Thanks so much, Megan!
Jack: The True Story of Jack and the Beanstalk by Liesel Shurtliff: I'm not usually into middle-grade, but I ADORE fairy-tale retellings and the classic tale of Jack and the Beanstalk, so I'd love to hear what really happened.
5 to 1 by Holly Bodger: I'm participating in a blog tour for this beauty, and I absolutely adore the cover! Diversity? Diversity.
Saint Anything by Sarah Dessen: IT'S MY FIRST PENGUIN ARC OMGOMGOMGOMG! AND... IT'S BY THE AMAZING SARAH DESSEN WHOSE BOOKS MAKE MY HEART SKIP A BEAT! AGGGGGGHHH! I feel so grateful to read this before it's released!
The Fearless by Emma Pass: WOOOOOOT! I haven't read Acid by Pass, but I'm truly looking for new dystopias, and am really curious to see what this will hold. Yay!
*Thank you SO much to Random House USA and Penguin Teen Canada for these beauties!*

How was your week? Any new worthy reads that
you've got?
Woo congrats on the signed win!! Double congrats on your first Penguin ARC! Plus it's Sarah Dessen! You lucky girl!! I haven't had any luck with Penguin yet. Hope you love all of these and sorry for the abundance of exclamation marks haha~
ReplyDeleteHeheh, THANKS! *throws a party* I know! It's been difficult with them, but I'm so glad this one got to be my first, since yeah, IT'S SARAH DESSEN. ^_^ LOL, I love exclamation marks, the more the merrier! :DD
DeleteLooks like you had a great great week! (I am sorry about your electric car. I know reading is 100x better.)
ReplyDeleteAhhh you're going to BEA. *dances with you* I can't wait to see the recap posts and giveaways and all that jazz!
Oooohhh BUSINESS CARDS. FANCY FANCY EH? DO THEY LOOK CUTE? IS THERE A PIC OF THEM OUT IN CYBERSPACE. I WANNA SEE THEM! :D
Oh nice! Penguin ARCs I feel like are the hardest to get (Next to HarperTeen) if they don't send it to you! I hope you enjoy the book. Weirdly, I have not read ANYTHING from Sarah despite my love for contemporaries...Also, 5 to 1?! I have heard good things about that book! Can't wait to hear your thoughts. :D
My week has been okay thank you! My allergies have been calm (THANK YOU LORD). It was super cold where I lived in though. That was interesting...
Thank you for sharing your glorious week!
~Kaitlin @ Next Page Please
Thank you so much, Kaitlin! :DDD Agh, it totally is, but it was worth it since I'm sure that I did well on the overall project! WOOOOOT YESSS! I'll definitely post a pic of them once I get them, which will be probably next week! I CAN'T WAIT FOR EVERYONE TO SEE THEM, I'M PRETTY PROUD OF MY DESIGNING SKILLS!
DeleteOh, YES! HarperTeen and Penguin are extremely difficult, I agree! Hey, everyone usually loves the selection of books that they have in their imprints, so I guess that they always have a limited amount to send out and it's rare to hear a response from them. *tears up* YOU HAVE TO READ A BOOK FROM SARAH. Like, she's the absolute master of contemporary. Only few can climb up to her standards. xD
Aw, poor you! *sends a truckload of sunshine, tissues and happiness* Thank goodness my allergies haven't kicked in yet, but as it's getting warmer, I feel like they'll appear soon enough. ;_; Benadryl will be my best friend for those weeks. Hah. Oo, I send tons of warm weather and palm trees to you too!
