ARCs Received.......January 2010

today The Russian Dreambook of Color and Flight arrived.....thank you Gwen Dawson (this was one of her Giveaway titles)...

Malice by Chris Wooding. Its for Middle Graders. Kids that liked the Goosebumps series might want to check it out.

Just received One Amazing Thing by Chitra Divakaruni.

I just received The Russian Dreambook of Color and Flight as well! Thanks!

I got The Russian Dreambook of Color and Flight from Gwen as well. I've also gotten Fireworks over Toccoa, The Opposite of Me, and Black Hills which are all ARCs. Other review books have been I'll Have Who She's Having, Live It, Love It, Earn It, and Pieces of Happily Ever After, plus a finished copy of O, Juliet, to go with the ARC I got previously.

Fireworks Over Toccoa in Michigan yesterday. Looks super-good, but I have no record of requesting this one. Anyone know where it came from??

5: I too received a finished copy of O, Juliet to go with the ARC I received a while back. Now I need to get around to reading the book!

Ahhh, PC, saw that one in SA.

this month has been fun! I received the two first Stieg Larsson books, as well as Ha Jin's A Good Fall, Woman with Birthmark, Bloodroot and After the Fire, a Still Small Voice.

Should be fun!

I received The House of Tomorrow this afternoon. It was shipped via Fed Ex. According to the note, I won this copy "through the folks at Shelf Awareness".

It looks like a pretty good read... plus, winning stuff is always fun. :)

I got the same thing today too, PirateColey. I'm excited, it is an Amy Einhorn book and so far that imprint seems to be awesome.

Also, like ThePam said, Fireworks Over Toccoa is probably through Shelf Awareness as well, that's how I got it.

A very good month for ARCs!

I've received The Listener, by Shira Nayman and The Solitude of Prime Numbers, by Paolo Giordano from the Chicago Tribune's Printers Row blog; S.J. Parris' Heresy and Christopher Moore's Bite Me from Amazon Vine, as well as Augusten Burroughs' You Better Not Cry.

Benjamin Pratt & the Keepers of the School: We the Children.

Looking forward to this one because it's by Andrew Clements the author of Frindle.

I have a question, its dealing with Shelf Awarness, i dont subscribe to the newsletter, i check the previous issues page on their website, and click on the newsletter by date. usually, i see that there is new ads offering arcs and galleys at the beginning of the week like monday, and then on tuesday the newsletter has the same ads. on wed, its the same ads. are there new ads everyday, or every other day? just wanted to know. thanks in advance. also why when subscribing to the newsletter, do they ask for your address, and business or company? whats the reason for it.

With SA, sometimes they show an add only once, other time the same add shows up for days or even weeks. The longer you wait to request a book, the less likely you are to receive it, though.

Technically, SA is a newsletter for the publishing industry. It's not really written for your average reader. We're a little different because we're reviewers. If they ask for your business, simply state "online reviewer", or put the address of your blog.

Hope that helps.

In similar news I received a finished copy of Paris Under Water yesterday via the MiB. They ran out of ARCs really quickly on this title, but the gentleman I e-mailed put my name aside so that he could send me a finished copy. I'm SO excited about this book!!!

Thank you so much PirateColey, this really helped clear up what i was confused about. Congrats on receiving the book!!!

Got the follow-up book to Nathan Abercrombie, Accidental Zombie... Dead Guy Spy.

Came out of nowhere, I assume because I reviewed the Lubar's first book.

I got "Benjamin Pratt and the Keepers of the School: We the Children" by Andrew Clements today...but don't recall requesting it...haven't requested anything from anyone in a long while...oh, well, don't look a gift horse......and all that

I received Making Toast in my mailbox today.

Ever since I moved books have been pouring in. It cements my feeling that the previous neighbors were stealing packages from my mailbox.
