May 2012 YA Releases

This is the month we've all been waiting for!!! I can't believe May is just a few days away. Here's what goodies you can except to find on book store shelves.

May 1st:
May 8th
May 15th
  • Gilt by Katherine Longshore, Penguin Teen
  • Obsidian by Jennifer Armentrout, Entangled Teen, 2nd edition
  • Code Name Verity by Elizabeth Wein, Hyperion Teens
May 22nd
May 29th

I know I'm missing some releases. I don't know why, but it was hard finding a list of upcoming releases, when I was working on this list. So I pulled from books that I knew were coming out with ones that are on my shelves. Please leave me a comment if you see any books I've left off my list so I can add it. Thank you! 

IMM #121: Books, News & Other Things

Happy Sunday! I'm changing up my IMM name just a bit. This weekly post is still featuring the goodies I got in the mail (which is an IMM post), but I'm thinking of changing the name of IMM to something that fits more of what this post is. It features more than book. I want to change the name of the meme to better fit what I was posting about here on MM's, because it's about Books, News & Other Things. This meme was inspired from The Story Siren's IMM, which I'm still labeling this post as on my blog, but don't be surprised if you see a name change for it in the coming weeks.

I hope you guys have had a great week. It's been a crazy busy, but fun one for me. I was hoping to do a video today, but my office is still torn apart from being painted yesterday. Hopefully next week I'll get one done. Here's some of the goodies that were added to my bookshelves this week:

Thank you to: Deb Shapiro, St Martin's Press, Penguin, Simon & Schuster and Harper Collins for this week's reads.

City of Fallen Angels Read A Long Day 12: Sanctuary



Welcome to Day 12 of the City of Fallen Angels Read-A-Long. You can follow the entire read-a-long and find each of the day's posts here. Remember there's no right or wrong way to participate. Your comments can be as long or a short as you'd like them to be. You can answer one or each of the questions asked, it's totally up to you, BUT, in order to be entered into the COLS giveaway (which you also had to sign up to win), you do need to be actively participating in the read-a-long. 

Today's discussion is about: Chapter 12: SANCTUARY
  • The talk Izzy and Simon have broke my heart for Izzy, but it also allowed me to understand her a bit more. She's a tough girl, and I really admire her strength, though I totally feel for her and that brokenness she has. Where you as shocked as I was to find out about her parents?
  • *sigh* These sweet Jace and Clary moments are killing. Cassie knows how to lure us in and than break us a bit each time something happens between the two of them. This scene totally killed me at the end. I loved the two of them finally get to just enjoy each other and talk, and then .... What the heck is wrong with Jace!?! *for those of us who have read it know, but please do not say anything spoilery in your comments*
  • I LOVE that Magnus and Alec are back. If you've not yet read the Infernal Devices, were you shocked to find out that Camille and Magnus once dated? To those of us who have read it, I'm seriously really curious over why Camille would only want to talk to Magnus. Do you think it's because she trusts him?

    Please DO NOT POST SPOILERS. There's some fans who are joining the read-a-long who are reading COFA for the first time.
