As you know, I recently reviewed the book Marked: A House of Night Novel by PC Cast and Kristin Cast for CurledUp.com. You can read my review here. It's the first in a new YA Vampire series and I was really impressed with how good it was. Yesterday, I went out to the mailbox and there was a package waiting for me from CurledUp. Now...I thought this was strange, since I got a package of Young Adult books last week. Imagine my surprise when I opened it to find the second installment of the House of Night Novels called Betrayed!! This book is not scheduled for release until Oct. 2nd! I was doing a happy dance in front of the mailbox!! It looks like I'll be reading this one.....sooner than I had hoped!! 
This has actually be a great week for receiving ARC's. (not that I need anything to read mind you, but who can pass up on free books!) As I said, I just last week got a box of YA books from CurledUp. I like reviewing YA books, so they sent me some more!! 7 books that I would like to have reviewed by the end of the year:
- Girl 15, Charming but Insane by Sue Limb
- Better than Running at Night by Hillary Frank
- Journey to Mythaca by Eve Baumohl Neuhaus
- Kiss & Blog by Alyson Noel
- Saving Zoe by Alyson Noel
- School's Out by Christophe Dufosse
- Psyche in a Dress by Francesca Lia Block
In addition to those, 4 more came this week. Barnes & Noble book groups is now offering a "First Look" club (and I think you can still sign up for it). They sent me an ARC that looks just fabulous, as well as 3 others from various publishers:
- The Monsters of Templeton by Lauren Groff (B&N First Look)
- The Lace Reader by Brunonia Barry (FlapJack Press)
- The Spanish Bow by Andromeda Romano-Lax (Harcourt)
- The Reincarnationist by M. J. Rose (Mira)
Having a book blog has definitely increased my list of review books!! In fact, I need to finish up some challenge books and get going on these!!
