In My Mailbox post BEA!

With BEA and then the holiday weekend it's been hectic around here. As a result, this post is coming way later than it should.

Had a great time at BEA and I brought home about 50 books, but here are some that I am most excited to read: (Valerie got the same ones so I totally copied this from her blog)

Delirium by Lauren Oliver *signed*
Paranormalcy by Kiersten White (e-book)
Matched by Ally Condie
Beautiful Darkness by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl
Immortal Beloved by Cate Tiernan
Nightshade by Andrea Cremer
The DUFF by Kody Keplinger *signed*

Leaving Paradise by Simone Elkeles *signed*
Return to Paradise by Simone Elkeles *signed*
Low Red Moon by Ivy Devlin
The Mockingbirds by Daisy Whitney
The Absolute Value of -1 by Steve Brezenoff *signed*
Accomplice by Eireann Corrigan *signed*

Spirit Bound by Richelle Mead *signed*

Torment by Lauren Kate *signed*

But as you can see from the pic below, there were a lot more than that IMM, and I am excited to read all of them. Also, add THIRST by Christopher Pike, books 1 and 2! Won over at http://fallenarchangel.com/!

And from Books of Wonder, I bought SHADE by Jeri Smith Ready, signed!

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!

Tiger Beat

This video is way better than the one my phone took so I'm going to share it. I was standing next to the person who recorded it. :D This is the band Tiger Beat. Libba Bray singing the YA Song.

(Tiny bit of language, just so you know)
