Debut Author Updates

Hey folks, The MASSIVE LIST has been updated!! What is the Massive List you ask? 

CHECK IT OUT!

It's basically my own attempt to keep up on all the 2010 debut author books coming out. So many books! I love it!

In this past update I:
*Double checked release dates for May and June - updated those listings accordingly
*ADDED TWO BOOKS
     The Thirteenth Chime by Emma Michaels - Friday Aug 13, 2010 by Bokheim Publishing
     The Blending Time by Michael Kinch - October 1, 2010 by Flux
*Updated the release date for Paranormalcy by Kiersten White from the end of September to it's new date of Aug 31st (woo hoo!)

AND

Because I'm insane -- I started the Massive List for 2011 authors....hehehehe. It has it's very own page next to the 2010 ML -- check it out if you dare!

As always, I would love your help with these lists. If you are a debut author of a book coming out in 2010 or 2011 and you would like to be included on my Massive Lists please either comment below or send me an email -- WilowRaven[at]yahoo.com. I would love it!!

Any mistakes are mine alone and if you find any (spelling errors, release date errors, books that shouldn't be on the list, ect.) please let me know!!

Happy Reading everyone!

Happy Day!

For anyone celebrating today - Happy 4th of July!

Hope everyone has a safe and fun day.

I'm not celebrating, I'm going shopping! Nothing says 'American' more then spending money - right? Kidding!

I hope everyone has a good day, no matter what you are doing.

I am leaving you with this!

Read Bree's post and WATCH THE TRAILER!!

Seriously, I don't much go in for book trailers but they have been slowly growing on me and The Dark Divine was such an amazing book AND this trailer is pretty awesome! (too big to embed here so click on over to Bree's page and watch it, watch it, watch it!)

Watch it!

hehe

Happy Day everyone!!!

In My Mailbox - July 3, 2010

In My Mailbox is hosted by The Story Siren :)

A few goodies this week!

Thanks to the wonderful Michelle Zink for this Supperfan Prize Pack!

Picture is from her website - I got the hairpins in the middle, 5 wonderful bookmarks, a gilt picture frame and there was also a cute little white rose pin.
THANK YOU MICHELLE!!

For Review:

Mackenzie Blue and Mackenzie Blue Friends Forever by Tina Wells.
This middle grade series looks really cute and I'm looking forward to starting it.
A big thank you to Meghan and to HarperCollins
(from Goodreads)

Meet Mackenzie Blue, aka Zee

She has it all—smarts, talent, humor, and style. . . .

Is it enough to survive middle school?

Countdown to a 7th Grade Meltdown

1. Your BFF moves away.

2. Someone steals your diary and reveals your deepest secrets—to the entire class.

3. You have one chance to become a rock star and one chance to totally blow it. Guess what!? All three happened to me! School's a disaster already. Don't get me wrong—I love Brookdale Academy and I have a fabulous crew of friends. (At least, I think I do.) But, if I'm going to survive, I need all the help I can get!

Bought:

13 To Life by Shannon Delany

I think I squealed a little when I saw this one on the shelf - last copy and it's all mine!

(from Goodreads)

Something strange is stalking the small town of Junction… 

When junior Jess Gillmansen gets called out of class by Guidance, she can only presume it’s for one of two reasons. Either they’ve finally figured out who wrote the scathing anti-jock editorial in the school newspaper or they’re hosting yet another intervention for her about her mom. Although far from expecting it, she’s relieved to discover Guidance just wants her to show a new student around—but he comes with issues of his own including a police escort. 

The newest member of Junction High, Pietr Rusakova has secrets to hide--secrets that will bring big trouble to the small town of Junction—secrets including dramatic changes he’s undergoing that will surely end his life early.

So, what's in your mailbox?

Monthly Reads - June 2010

Hello July! Time for sun and vacations and heat and bugs and more bugs and then some more heat. Isn't it great?

June was pretty awesome. Took a extremely wonderful long weekend vacation to Maine with the family, the weather wasn't too too hot most of the time and the bugs haven't started attacking me yet! Also was able to spend some time organizing my books....all those lovely lovely books....
