    I’ve read the Prophecy of the Sisters, A Match Made in High School, will be reviewing Wondrous Strange soon as well. I’ll also be giving these books away within the next couple of weeks in contests.

    I’m also giving away some awesome books now, take a look see and see if there is something you like!


  2. Thanks so much for listing my book, Prophecy of the Sisters!

    If I had an extra ARC, I’d be happy to send you one, but alas, I only have two…
    :(

    I hope you’re able to get your hands on a copy soon, and I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.

  3. Hi there! EYES LIKE STARS will be out in June/July (Amazon has the release month and age group listed incorrectly, as it is definitely a teen book.) I hope to have ARCs soon, and I’ll be doing lots of give-aways at my MySpace and LiveJournal pages! :)

  4. I’ve had the honor of reading a lot of these books in ARC forms and let me just compliment your taste!;) The ones I’ve read have all been wonderful!!

    I am also really looking forward to Shadowed Summer from Delacorte by Saundra Mitchell in February of 2009 and Secrets of Truth and Beauty from Hyperion by Megan Frazer in July.

    Thanks so much for the mention!!

    Thanks for adding FAIREST OF THEM ALL to your list! It’s due to be released on April 21. I don’t have my ARCs yet, either, but I hope to get them next month.

    And thank you, too, for providing a great YA reading list! I can’t wait to dig in.
