I'm Alison. I've been blogging for....
My blogoversary was June 4!
I review mainly YA with a few MG books and a weekly manga feature.
I haven't done IMM in a few weeks, so I have a number of books to report. I may forget a few, but this is most of them.

ReplyDeleteMy IMM: http://bit.ly/mtXCSa
Congratulations on your anniversary, Alison! :D I'm super happy to see Waterfall and Cascade on your list. I have nothing but love for this series so I hope you enjoy it, too! And Game of Thrones! I lovelovelove the show, and I have the book, but I've been so slow at reading it. The show is already ahead so I might just wait until the season is over to read it (and the other books in the series). LONG COMMENT IS LONG. :P Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteStephanie @ Poetry to Prose
Congratulations! You've done so well in the year!
ReplyDeleteWaterfall and Jabberwocky look great...And I really hope you enjoy Chibi Vampire- its great! And then Tokyopop had to go shut down its offices...... Enjoy reading it all!
Happy blogoversary!! Hope it's been a freaking awesome year for you :D
ReplyDeleteGreat books! I LOVE Waterfall and Cascade!! It has fast become of my favourite series. I really hope you enjoy them as much as I did!
Nice haul! Waterfall and cascade look really good and I am particularly jealous of miss peregrines home for peculiar children. You can check out my IMM here: http://sapphireddragon.blogspot.com/2011/06/in-my-mailbox-5.html
ReplyDeleteHappy reading !
Miss Peregrews sure has a creepy cover, I'm guessing a horror novel?
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your blogoversary! Gives me a lot of hope when I see what can be accomplished in a year.
ReplyDeleteI also am determined to tackle A Game of Thrones - although the length makes me nervous - but I'm going to wait until the current series is over.
Happy Blog B DAY! Isn't it amazing how fast time flies, I just did my year 1 celebrations in April too.
ReplyDeleteWOW what a great IMM and I knew you would love the Fever series! I have the Mortal Instruments series book 1 - 3 to start. Arghhh so many books too little time ;)
Again happy happy happy blog b day!
Kisses PK
Happy Blog Birthday :) LOVE the cover of Miss Peregrine's; just creepy enough to pique my interest without creeping me out of reading it! And I definitely want to read The Geeks Shall Inherit the Earth. That is too true!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your blogoversary! I can't wait to get my hands on Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, love to see what you think of it. I hope you enjoy them all :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your first year! Mine's at the end of the month--can you believe how fast it went?
ReplyDeleteStupid Fast looks like a great book. Nice selections you've got there. Happy reading!
Mary @ Book Swarm
Congrats on your blogoversary! Great mailbox- the covers of Waterfall and Cascade are gorgeous! I also still have City of Fallen Angels to read...hopefully I can find time this summer. Enjoy all your books!
ReplyDeleteI've recently added Waterfall to my to read list. Looking forward to the review!
ReplyDeleteHappy Blogoversary!
ReplyDeleteEveryone is saying that Bergen's books are really good! Also, my daughter will attest to Chibi Vampire. :)
Happy Blogoversary! :D
ReplyDeleteYou have an awesome mailbox! Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs sounds really good. And you bought A Game of Thrones! Great choice! ;D
I absolutely loved City of Fallen Angels. I can't wait for the next book, City of Lost Souls to come out. If you liked the first three, you'll love this one too.
ReplyDeleteWow! You got some amazing books this week! I really want to read Stupid Fast and Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children.
ReplyDeleteI love the covers on the Lisa Bergen's. I hope you enjoy all the books you got. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by at {book} exhibitionism
ReplyDeleteI'm falling in love with your blog this instant. :D Your IMM's looking fab! I read CoFA and liked it, then read it again and didn't like it at all, idk, I hope you're enjoying it better. ;) And the Fever Series is soooo good!
The rest's looking awesome, too, so HAPPY READING!
Patricia
YAY FOR ONE YEAR OF BLOGGING!!!! Awesome:)
ReplyDeleteAnd couldn't you have just screamed with the cliffhanger of Faefever? Wait till you get to Dreamfever, you'll be so glad that Shadowfever is already out. I almost died having to wait. Seriously:)
Happy Blogoversary!
ReplyDeleteGreat list of books this week. I need to read the Fever series. I've got DarkFever but haven't read it yet. The Lisa Bergren books sound really interesting. I've read her fiction for adults but haven't tried the YA books yet. I liked City of Fallen Angels but it wasn't as good as the earlier books. The Geeks Shall Inherit the Earth looks fascinating. I ordered it for my library but I haven't had the opportunity to read it yet. I was definitely a "band geek" in high school as well as other kinds of geek (I was also on the scholastic team so that made me an academic geek too!) :)
Happy Anniversary!
ReplyDeleteNew follower for you....that's me!
Lx
PS Geeks SHALL inherit the earth! Mwahahaha!
Happy Blogoversary!!! :D
ReplyDeleteGreat books this week, I cant wait for Miss Pereguines' it sounds amazing! And I've been loving Game Of Thrones on tv too so I might have to check that one out!! :D x
Waterfall and Cascade look great! Hope you enjoy your books and happy blogoversary :)
ReplyDeleteOoh yay! More Fever books! Hope you like those as well!! The series was one of my faves!! Hope you enjoy all your books!
ReplyDeleteHere's my IMM

ReplyDeleteI put A Game of Thrones on my wishlist a while back, since everyone has been raving about it! And I've seen a lot about Home for Peculiar Children as well. Looks like you have some good stuff! Happy reading!
Happy blogiversary!!!!!! Congrats, girlfriend. Time sure does fly doesn't it? Cool books. I've been wanting to read Miss Peregrine but I think my review copy was lost in the mail :( I hope you enjoy Jabberwocky! I really did. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteHappy blogoversary Alison and I hope you enjoy reading all those novels! :)

HAPPY BLOGOVERSARY! *Feeds you a cake, douses you with sparkles, and throws confetti in the air while laughing hysterically*
ReplyDeleteAhem. Sorry, am I scaring you?
Great books this week! I've been seeing STUPID FAST so much lately that I might have to give it a try. I'm not normally into sports books but I suppose it wouldn't hurt :)
Happy reading and congratulations again on one year of blogging! Woo hoo!
OMG Absolutely love the Fever series. I'm on number 4 and have stopped there...I am in that in between place where I so badly want to know how it all ends but also so badly don't want it all to end.
ReplyDeleteIt took me a while to get into City of Fallen Angels too. Great books...hope you enjoy them!
ReplyDeleteI like the covers for Waterfall and Cascade by Lisa Bergren. I must really buy and read 'the Mortal Instruments' series too. Soon, definitely soon. Happy reading!
ReplyDelete-Alisa (my IMM)
They all look so good, I loved chibi vampire!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the one year Allison! I loved Waterfall and I just got Cascade this past week, I can't wait to read it! I hope you really like the series too! I've heard Stupid Fast is really funny. Enjoy all your wonderful books!
ReplyDeleteBTW about the comment you left. Most of the author like Keirsten White, Ally Condie, and Aprilynne Pike actually all live in UT. So does James Dashner, Elana Johnson and Bree Despain. Just an FYI, since I'm sure you'll be going to a lot of YA events when you move there. Hopefully you'll like it more then you think. :D
i wanna read Miss Peregrine's! here's my IMM.
ReplyDeletehttp://bookchilla.wordpress.com/2011/06/06/in-my-mailbox-2/

Waterfall should be in my mailbox next week! Yay for similar tastes! :) Congrats on your blogoversary!!
ReplyDeleteGreat Haul! I really want to read Waterfall and cascade!
ReplyDeleteKristi from The Story Siren briefly mentioned the hilarity of Stupid Fast by Geoff Herbach in her recent BEA vlog.. I am excited to see what your thoughts are on this book. Also, congrats on the blogoversary! :-)
ReplyDeleteNice Haul. I am so going to have to add a few to my wish list pile!
ReplyDeleteNicole @ All I Read
Looks like you got some good books. I definitely recommend Sand Chronicles. It's a lot more serious than most of the mango I usually read, but it's pretty good.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on one year, and excellent IMM! You hit jackpot this week!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed the chibi-vampire series. I thought they were cute and funny and a different take on the vampire myth.
ReplyDelete-jehara
The Geeks sounds very interesting. It is so true that the outsiders and geeks become the employed successful people as adults.
ReplyDelete
