ARCs received - AUGUST

Wow- nothing received yet in August? Well, let me start. I received Radiance by Alyson Noel today. It's a new middle-school aged book that's a spin off of the popular Immortals YA series. I'm going to do a quick read through of that trilogy before I tackle this one. It sounds really interesting though. It was a request from SA in mid-July.

So far I've received finished copies of Stiltsville by Susanna Daniel, Sea Escape, Love in Mid-Air, Hollywood Savage, The Art of Devotion, and Polar Bear, Polar Bear, What Do You Hear? and How to Buy a Love of Reading (the last two, both audio).

ARCs of Dogfight: A Love Story, Eighteen Acres, and Body Work.

A Little Death in Dixie by Lisa Turner from the publisher, Bell Bridge Books (print), LT ER program, July June 2010 batch

Evolussion by Kathy Bell, from the author, PDF (LT Member Giveaways)

Flight of the Hawk by G. R. Grove, from the author, PDF, finished copy, just because she likes my review of Storyteller

I've been promised others, but they are still in the custody of the United States Postal service with no indication to me when they will arrive or in what condition I might find them when I finally do get my hands on them...

Received Dogfight: A Love Story by Matt Burgess

I've been away this week, but on returning home my mailbox contained:

Radiance by Alyson Noel

and

Bury Your Dead by Louise Penny, my ER book

USPS: The House, by Anjuelle Floyd (free from the author in exchange for review because she likes my review of Keeper of Secrets... Translations of an Incident, which I posted last November.)

UPS: My July LTER book, When Doctors Kill by Joshua A. Perper and Stephen Cina
and Think of a Number by John Verdon

7> "I loved her series the Immortals how did you snag this?"

To which message does this refer? Since we can only reply directly to the topic rather than directly to each other, it is helpful to reference the message number if you are referring something in another post... or at least to include the author's name when making an indirect reference to works not directly mentioned.

So far I've received:

Dogfight: A Love Story by Matt Burgess

The Gendarme by Mark Mustian (my July LT ER book)

;-}

I received Nightshade today UPS in a Bubble Mailer and came with a introduction letter about the book and a note from Author Andrea Cremer. I have to say the cover is just absolutely beautiful.

I swear I said I wasn't taking more review copies, but somehow they keep flowing in anyway:

>13 1dragones:,

Certain publishers I've worked with before (and occasionally some I haven't - sometimes I question how they got my address) send books randomly from time to time in hopes that I'll review them on the blog.

More books today:
Salvation City by Sigrid Nunez
The Improper Life of Bezellia Grove by Susan Gregg Gilmore (hardcover finished copy)
The Cailiffs of Baghdad, Georgia by Mary Helen Stefaniak, my July LTER book.

This week I received:

-Bird in Hand - which was my latest LT ER book and next in line on Mount TBR.
-You Don't Look Like Anyone I Know - which seems like a silly name, but is a memoir by someone with face blindness. I'm excited to read it. :)

15.> Thanks

Publishers could send me random books if they want... but so far, none have. Nothing new for me - that I know of - until the August LTER batch winners are determined. I'm hoping to win one, of course, but I won't be without something to read regardless.

Don't Sing at the Table by Adriana Trigiani came today!!
