ARC's Received - July 2010

I Am Number Four arrived here in the DC area.

I suppose it is July already. Wow.

Yesterday I received The Extraordinary Secrets Of April, May and June by benwayrobin::Robin Benway. It looks interesting.

Don't Blink by James Patterson arrived today.

The Whisperers by John Connolly....through the ATRIA Galley Grab for this year. But, it's not a Galley...rather a finished copy!

Think of a Number by John Verdon came today in North Jersey.

So far two finished copies (one unsolicited, I think) and an ARC:
The Rembrandt Affair by Daniel Silva
Mr. Rosenblum Dreams in English by Natasha Solomons - this was the unsolicited (I think) one, it came with a card that had a recipe from the book and a note from the author, as well as a small pack of tea and a package of shortbread.
The Next Queen of Heaven by Gregory Maguire

Can't beat that, Jen. A book with a cookie and tea! Double yum.

Yesterday I received Crescendo by Becca Fitzpatrick. I read the first book in the series so I'm looking forward to continuing.

Today I also received Crescendo. I reviewed an ARC of the first book, so it's kind of neat to be able to do the second book as well. Plus- my mini-reviewer (who is 13) is a HUGE fan of the first book... I have a feeling she'll be reading this one and adding to my review- as well as being a star at her junior high for getting to read it early. :)

3 fabulous books.

A Deluge of Dogs - Hounds Without Bounds

A Nuisance of Cats - The Curious Collective

Little Known School of Thought: The Fine Art of Jewish Suffering Without Guilt

all by the same author.

Faithful Place by Tana French came today from goodreads

I actually won the drawing for it a month ago, but it never came. I contacted the pub this week, and they actually sent me a finished hardcover!

Today, I got a galley of Luka and the Fire of Life by Salman Rushdie

I just got Out of the Shadows, The Secret Lives of Baba Segi's Wives and She's Gone Country.

Yesterday I got One Day by by David Nichols. I've heard such good things about this one!

This is a good month for me!

Today I got:

Thieves of Darkness by Richard Doetsch (from the Atria Galley Grab-a finished copy!)

Sapphique by Catherine Fisher (from the Penguin SA contests)

During July, I received 7 ARCs.

:D

1. Manifest by Artist Arthur
2. Girl Parts by John. Cusick
3. Crawlers by Sam Enthoven
4. Witchfinder: Dawn of the Demontide by William Hussey
5. The Dead by David Gatward
6. Another Pan by Daniel & Dina Nayeri
7. Stork by Wendy Delsol

Oh, and I got a review galley from Elizabeth Isaacs over her book "The Light of Asteria: Kailmeyra's Last Hope", which is the first of a planned series. It's really good! Fantasy + romance + tears & drama + friendship + fight scenes + etc, etc..

Sorry if there are no links. I don't know how to do that... All of them are YA, varying in genre.

cherii, to make a link, put around your title.

lol - disappeared in the message above.

ugh! One more time: put brackets around your title to link it.
