Hello and Welcome!

Red House Books is going through a bit of a update!

I've always had a pretty clear vision of what I wanted this space to be but I've been detoured from my path by...lots and lost of other people's opinions and ways of doing things...

I'm committed to this little chunk of the interweb but I've also branched out into other places so! Now it's time to think of Red House Books as more of a hub of all things me! And Me is a hell of a lot of book love!

Stay tuned!

In My Mailbox - October 2, 2010 + GIVEAWAY!

In My Mailbox is hosted by The Story Siren :)

Kind of a long post here but it's worth it at the end so please read through!

Awesome week for me guys!! I finally bought myself a birthday present (my birthday was in August).
Here it is!
Isn't it pretty? Isn't it wonderful? Gotta say - it's pretty much NetGalley's fault that I finally broke down and bought myself an e-reader. I cannot tell you how wonderful it is to sit and relax and have so many great galleys right in my happy little hands! I'll probably do a little mini review of my wonderful Nook in a few weeks.

Also - some surprise packages!
Surprise package number 1!
Mystery book with secret hidden messages from Nightshade's Shay. Have you been following along? Check out his Facebook page. Tons of clues!
My first one says "Alistair dies in 1666 Great Fire in London"
The second one I'm having a little trouble with it's either "CAMERONI604 1865" or "CAMERONI604 5618" or some other combo...still not sure what it means.

Surprise package number 2!
I already new the folks at Brilliance Audio were wonderful but this just blew my mind:
4 more lovely audio books from Candlewick!
On the Blue Comet by Rosemary Wells

Keep reading! Surprise package number 3 is what you want!

For Review from 1 ARC Tours:
The Absolute Value of -1 by Steve Brezenoff

E-Books for Review from NetGalley (via the wonderful publishers!)
Rage (Horsemen of the Apocalypse #2) by Jackie Morse Kessler
Always A Witch by Carolyn MacCullough (cover may not be final!)

Gift from my sweetie!

AND FINALLY!  - SURPRISE PACKAGE NUMBER 3
From Hachette - A promotional kit for Beautiful Darkness

    Very cool! I'd love to be entered, please. The Nook is awesome in the long term, but I think I'd be most excited immediately by the Patrick Ness audiobooks. Sweet stuff! Congrats on all your goodies!

    I think the Shay books are cool, I need to figure out what mine says.

    For the giveaway: I think the Nook & the Caster swag are the coolest.

    For me the most fabulous favorite thing you received would have to be the ability to read on your Nook and my second favorite is all the cool goodies from Hatchette as I too love swag to share with others...

    No need to enter me in the contest just wanted to stop by and check out the mailbox post today! Enjoy all your lovely loot Emily!

    The favorite would have to be the Nook. Yay, fellow Nook owner! That's a great present for yourself. I did the same thing, but not for my birthday. More for hardword. :) I love mine. I hope you do too!

    You also reminded me to check out NetGalley. Those look like some good ones!

    I have to go with the Nook! But the coolest thing you received that you didn't purchase yourself were the Chaos Walking audiobooks.
