In other book news, I am absolutely ecstatic about my upcoming lineup. I've never done an In My Mailbox posting before but I was tempted to do it this week. Firstly, I won a signed copy of A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness from my favorite Mancunian, Jo over at Wear the Old Coat. I'd say I've never been so excited to receive a book before but I also won a signed copy of Raw Blue last month from Nomes at Inkcrush and I already read and absolutely loved that one before I won it. I got back from a vacation yesterday. While I was there, several of my friends sent books ahead to my brother so I would get them before I came home. I received Drink Deep, the fifth book in the Chicagoland Vampires series from Lyndsey at Strangemore, along with two Aussie books I am on tours for, Blood Song by Rhiannon Hart and Fiona Wood's Six Impossible Things. (I finished Drink Deep already and really enjoyed it! Oh, and she sent me the first season of Chuck to watch. Yay!)

I also practically peed myself in excitement over receiving a copy of Melina Marchetta's Froi of the Exiles, the second book in the Lumatere Chronicles. (after Finnikin of the Rock) My Goodreads pal, Catie, let me borrow her copy. I am intimidated by its length but so, so looking forward to it, especially considering that many reviewers have said it is even better than its predecessor.

Today, the new Nora Roberts book showed up on my Kindle at midnight. I love Kindle preorders! (especially the ones I forget about!) Her books are like ice cream sundaes to me--hopefully tomorrow will be dull outside so I can snuggle up and get lost in the romance world. I also picked up a copy of Liesl & Po at the library that I put on hold a while back.

My friend Cassi and I are doing NaNoWriMo together this year. It will be a first attempt for both of us but hopefully it will be easier as a collaborative effort. Day 1 is almost over and we are right on track, but what kind of feat is that? ONE DAY. We are working on a YA science fiction story tentatively titled, "Processed for Entry." Excitement to the max. Hey, remember The Max on Saved By The Bell?

I love this show.

YAYAYAYAY.
I hope it gets to you soon! I'm so happy.

You have lots of exciting books coming up Flann.
I keep looking at my copy of Froi and getting nervous. I don't know why... I think it's because it's Marchetta and it's the LAST Double M book I have until she writes a new one so
HEY DOUBLE M: Write faster please.

Also it could be because Froi keeps looking at me over my shoulder in a challenging way.

Anyway, happy writing! I've forgone NaNo this year because I had already started it soooo.
I'm excited to see what you guys come up with. :)

Congrats to the winner! You got so many amazing books, I'm jealous. :P I really want to get the Aussie edition of Froi even though I haven't read Finnikin yet. I asked my friend who came home from Australia to get it for me but he was only able to get Finnikin. :(

Wow, congratulations on a great haul! Looks like you won't have any time to be blogging for awhile, what with all the reading you have to do... :)
