TELL ME TUESDAY #22 Monday Special Edition...

Well, this came today...

SO PRETTEH!!!!

*TWIRLS*

So I couldn't contain my excitement until Tuesday!!


TELL ME TUESDAY is a feature that oozed from the brains of Brittersweet from PLEASE FEED the BOOKWORM, and myself, after a mind-melting Armchair BEA Twitter party. It is a weekly, or bi-weekly feature depending on your reading style, where we ask you what you are reading now, and why, and what you will be reading next from your TBR pile, and why.  Pili from In Love with Handmade is our 'only child' feature follower and we luff her so much! We are all so curious why people read what they read.


ME


Was ENSNARED one of my most anticipated titles?


YEP!!!!

When I found out I had won the Ensnared cover reveal giveaway Grand Prize of an ARC, I was overwhelmed.


And speechless!!!!



I did, however, work my buttocks off getting entries in on that contest.




BUT, of course, there was still a huge amount of luck (and I would like to think karma) involved.

I was so over-the-moon about the win I did a blog post about it, HERE.

In that post I explained why you would see me participating in other Ensnared ARC  contests. I was not trying to be greedy, I was hoping to win one for my Best Blogging Buddy, Brittersweet, so we could do a buddy read and tandem blog reviews. But, alas, in the next giveaway we failed, miserably.


We were going to share, but we don't have that much faith in the postal service.


So, after I am finished reading this baby, I will be going crazy not being able to discuss what happens with her.


But until then I will just...


Here it is at home with my other two Splintered series ARCs. Thank-you to my son for being a prize model for me.

  1. Congrats on your ARC arriving!! I read the first two, loved the first one but didn't really enjoy the 2nd. I'll probably try the 3rd when it comes out. The covers are beautiful!! I hope that you love it!

  2. I loved, loved, loved the first one. The second one I loved the second half, but because the first half was set in the "real world" it was too much like contemporary YA, and not my cup of tea. This one is set mostly in AnyElsewhere, so I have a good feeling it is going to be everything I want, plus more!! Thanks for dropping in. I'll be wandering over your way shortly. :)

  4. I am SO stinkin' jealous of you right now. (In a loving way...) I am currently REreading Splintered (done already) and Unhinged audio style (rare for me, but it works for rereads so far...) in anticipation of this gorgeous one. Can't wait to read what goes down and oh-my-I-love-her-writing. I hope you enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!

    1. The first chapter was sublime. I hope the publishers let her post it on her website in December for everyone to read. It would be to their advantage because it will make everyone want more. Thanks for dropping in. :)

    1. PILI!!!!!! The first chapter was extraordinary!! I hope she gets permission to release it with the December promotion like she was talking about before. Gahhhh... it is already becoming super difficult to keep it all contained. There is so much information about her father it is insane.

    1. Thank-you for the follow! I was told about Splintered and forgot about it, and then saw the beautiful cover in the library and remembered. I might not have ever read it if not for the cover jogging my memory. That is scary because I love the series so much. Also, I will return the favor. :)

  10. Thanks! Yes, yes, yes so happy you have Splintered from the library. That is how I started reading the series. The Splintered ARC in the pic, I had to trade a new release hardcover and two paperbacks for (one signed) because in a book OCD frenzy I wanted all the ARCs, lol. Thanks for droping by. :)
