Update (As of February 9, 2012)

Hi everyone! Things have been a wee bit hectic with prelims coming soon. I've read loads of books meanwhile, and hope to post more reviews soon rather than leaving them in Draftsland. Thanks for all your support and encouragement. Authors/publicists: I'm currently not accepting any review requests as stated in the updated policy, but I do so appreciate that you consider this blog a worthy avenue for your books.

In My Mailbox 27: YA Roundup

on Sunday, 28 February 2010
In what is called a lazy man's week, or known as a month's worth of books.

  • Forbidden Sea by Sheila A. Neilson
  • A Match Made in High School by Kristin Walker
  • Libyrinth by Pearl North
  • Alice I Have Been by Melanie Benjamin
  • Fire Study by Maria V. Snyder
  • Inside Out by Maria V. Snyder
  • Once Dead, Twice Shy by Kim Harrison
  • Zeta or Omega? by Kate Harmon
  • Swoon by Nina Malkin (The last time I read a few chapters and returned it.)
  • The Real Real by Emma McLaughlin & Nicola Kraus
  • Prism by Faye & Aliza Kellerman (A mother-daughter team)
  • Ruined by Paula Morris

In other news, YA Roundup (a website for the promotion of debut YA/MG authors) is recruiting new bloggers who'd love to host a week for the debut authors, including but not limited to The Tenners and Class of 2k10.

What it involves:
A review, character and author interviews, giveaways, guest posts, excerpts etc. As the blogger in charge of the week, you'll get to read the book first and promote it during the book launch. You can choose any book you'd love to promote (a list would be helpful) as long as it hsn't been assigned to another blogger. You'll get exclusive content to post on your blog, the authors get publicity. It would help if you had a copy of the book beforehand, but it's not necessary of course. It would be a major plus, as well as management skills. Bloggers who apply should have been book blogging for at least a year. Interested? Leave a comment. :)

Disclaimer: Credit for the implementation of IMM posts go to Kristi of The Story Siren and Alea of Pop Culture Junkie. Credit goes, and will always go, to them, for this and future IMM posts. I take no credit for this meme, and future IMM posts wouldn't exist without them both. It should be taken note of that there might be times where I won't be writing this for every IMM post. That does not mean that I am taking credit for it. It just means that I'm just too lazy to write it down.
