I've been a little all over the place lately with some life stuff getting in the way of my blogging stuff, so I haven't posted an IMM in awhile. Also, I've been really limiting what I've been getting to read because of a lack of time. It'll probably be like this all month. 

That said, the stuff I have been getting I'm really looking forward to reading. :)

I'm been doing well with catching up on all the books in my TBR pile. :) You may notice my pile (look in the sidebar) has many books that aren't new, but have been released in the past year. My goal over the Christmas break is to start catching up on these books that I was so excited to have come out...but then didn't get a chance to read. :(

Then, I can work on the Galleys...which is where my current delay is in the TBR pile. To add even more pressure to the Galley pile, I got two more this week (though, I'm totally not complaining...I can't wait to read these!). Here they are:

Galleys

Me and Earl and the Dying Girl by Jesse Andrews
Pieces of Us by Margie Gelbwasser

Happy Reading!

ARC Tours

Stolen Away by Alyxandra Harvey

Galleys

Replication by Jill Williamson

Can't wait to get to these ones! What do you get?

Lately, I've been happy to have some quiet weeks as far as book arrivals go. As usual, I want to catch up (or, at least, make some progress) on my TBR pile. 

No such luck this week.

But, hey, I can't complain. That just means I received some awesome books! It's really a win-win, regardless of what happens. :D

Here's what I got:

ARC Tours

Au Revoir, Crazy European Chick by Joe Schreiber
Slide by Jill Hathaway
Hallowed by Cynthia Hand

Galleys

Halflings by Heather Burch
Allegiance by Cayla Kluver

Suggestion Saturday

Inheritance by Christopher Paolini

So excited about all of these books! Can't wait to get a chance to read them. :)

You may have noticed my lack of IMM last week. That's because I didn't get any books! Now, I was actually kind of excited because that's really helping me catch up on my reading. Plus, with the holidays upon us, it's always a harder time of year to find good reading time.

Considering the amount of ARCS on their way to me through ARC tours, I've very excited to say I've had another slow week. (Weird, I know.) Here is the one book I received:

ARCs

A Temptation of Angels by Michelle Zink

Happy Reading!

Woohoo! I never thought I'd be so excited by such a short In My Mailbox, but I have TONS of reading to catch up on. Looks like my strategy to stop requesting library books may have helped me (though, it also makes me sad). 

Without further ado, this week's book: (yes, I said book...as in, singular book)

Galley

Sisters of Glass by Stephanie Hemphill

Let's hope I can be as productive reading this week as I was last week. :D

I think I need to give up the idea of ever catching up on my TBR list. There's just too many great books out there and only so much time in a day! Even if I spent every waking hour reading, I still don't think I'd read every book that looked interesting. This is awesome, because it gives me so many options, but bad because I'll never get to read some of the books I want to.

Okay, before this post becomes too philosophical, let's get to the mailbox! 

ARC Tours

Deadly Cool by Gemma Halliday
Lovetorn by Kavita Daswani

Galleys

Pure by Julianna Baggott

Books come in waves, I swear. The last two weeks were a little slower and I was hoping to catch up a bit. No way. This week's In My Mailbox (IMM is a weekly meme hosted by The Story Siren) is another large week. I've got so much to read, I think I'm refraining from putting anything on hold at the library for awhile. :( I need to get back on track! :D

IMM #3! It's a slow week this week. I've got tons to read already, just finished an ARC from a tour, and haven't seen many new galleys this week that caught my interest. Since I've been so busy, I also haven't been actively purchasing or requesting new library books (though my holds list still has several on it).

Library Books:

Anna Dressed in Blood by Kendare Blake
A Need So Beautiful by Suzanne Young
Undercurrent by Tricia Rayburn
The Knife of Never Letting Go by Patrick Ness *

Giveaway

Between by Jessica Warman (ARC)

Suggestion Saturday

Thirst series by Christopher Pike

Happy reading!

* I started reading this awhile ago as an eBook from the library. Unfortunately, I didn't finish it quick enough and the hold expired...I finally got it again so I can finish! :D

Mailbox Monday #2! I'm going to add an extra section to this one. Since I do Suggestion Saturdays on twitter, I'm going to let you know what everyone is recommending. Honestly, I probably won't have time to read each recommended book (though I do keep track and make an effort), so the least I can do is share with you what other followers are reading and think are good. This week, I'll post all the recommendations I haven't read. From here on out, I'll post all recommendations from Suggestion Saturdays (even if they've already been YA Books of the Day).
