Update + In My Mailbox

Popping in here for a quick update (excuse). I have been super busy this month--lots of family stuff that would bore you to tears--and my blog is being neglected. Just want you all to know that I haven't disappeared.

Book Expo is next week!! *Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!* If you're going, feel free to say hi if you bump into me! I'm not one of those people who actually plans what they'll wear, so I can't tell you what to look for, but I will be with one of my fabulous critique partners, Valerie, and Valerie is so fabulous I'm sure you can spot her in a crowd. We'll be in line for quite a few YA book signings and afterward we'll be at the Houndstooth for dinner and then for Kid Lit drinks, so if you're attending either of those, we'll see you there!

This week's IMM:

This week I received an audio book of ABRAHAM LINCOLN VAMPIRE HUNTER! I won this one from I Heart Monster. Thanks, gals!

In My Mailbox Week 5

This week, I have ICECORE by Matt Whyman, courtesy of The Latnier Gang Book Review Spot.

Product Description

Hypothermia is never far away.

When the shivering stops, that's when you should start to worry. It's your body's way of signaling that it's lost the battle to keep your blood warm. But by then you'll be too weak to retrace your steps. Chances are you'll be so confused and disoriented that you won't even recall what it was you were fleeing in the first place. All you'll want to do is lie down in the snow and close your eyes.

He's a seventeen-year-old British computer hacker who penetrated the security systems at Fort Knox for a laugh. But the American government was less than amused. Since his prank, gold bars have been landing in the hands of terrorists across the globe.

Now, Carl has found himself in a military prison deep in the Arctic and far off the grid. He's been caged alongside the world's most notorious terrorists, with no one to trust and no end in sight.

Carl Hobbes may not be a criminal mastermind, but if he wants to escape this subzero prison with his life, he'll have to start thinking like one.

Product Description

Restless souls and empty hearts

Brooklyn can't sleep. Her boyfriend, Lucca, died only a year ago, and now her friend Gabe has just died of an overdose. Every time she closes her eyes, Gabe's ghost is there waiting for her. She has no idea what he wants or why it isn't Lucca visiting her dreams.

Nico can't stop. He's always running, trying to escape the pain of losing his brother, Lucca. But when Lucca's ghost begins leaving messages, telling Nico to help Brooklyn, emotions come crashing to the surface.

As the nightmares escalate and the messages become relentless, Nico reaches out to Brooklyn. But neither of them can admit that they're being haunted. Until they learn to let each other in, not one soul will be able to rest.
