It wasn’t for me either. <br /><br />Alison, Kiersten White mentioned on her blog that she had a few ARCs and bloggers could request them. I sent in a request. I linked my earlier review of Paranormalcy (that she had commented on!) so maybe that helped :)<br /><br />Cozy in Texas, Thanks!<br /><br />The Book Angel, I really did! Though this is for two weeks. You should definitely try Paranormalcy and Supernaturally. I loved them both! I haven’t posted my Supernaturally review yet, but you can read my Paranormalcy review if you’d like.<br /><br />Bookish Brunette, Check out NetGalley and see if you can get a copy of The Near Witch!<br /><br />Yvonne, You really should put the series on your wishlist! They’re so much fun and very different from the average paranormal. Thanks for the compliment!<br /><br />Madigan, You’re going to love Supernaturally then! It’s just as much fun :)<br /><br />Bella, Thanks! I hope you enjoy Supernaturally when you get a copy. :)<br /><br />Nina, Thanks! You really do need to read Paranormalcy! What’s great about the series too is that each book wraps up pretty well, so you don’t have to deal with really annoying cliffhangers. <br /><br />Miss Page-Turner, I’m enjoying it so much! I can’t wait for the third book now. :) I hope you get to read them soon!<br /><br />Carina, Haha, I’ll let you know if I come up with a way to show book happiness without looking crazy :) At least we book people get it. Do you have Net Galley? That’s how I got The Near Witch. Thank you for following! I hope you enjoy your time here. <br /><br />Lea, I love high fantasy, but unfortunately I didn’t get very far in Ravenwild before I DNF-ed it. I’ll be looking forward to your thoughts on it and on Paranormalcy! Avi is sooo good. It’s nice to see another Avi fan :) <br /><br />Audrey, The library sales here are amazing. When we move, I think the libraries are going to be one of the biggest things I miss. <br /><br />Little Miss Becky, Yay! I can’t wait to see what you think of Supernaturally and Queen of the Dead! I loved both of them.<br /><br />Dazzling Mage, Thanks! I hope Wake Unto Me lives up to the hype. I could really go for a good ghost romance. <br /><br />Asher, I’m enjoying very much :) You’re so sweet. It’s like you read my mind. Every time I see good books in people’s mailboxes I always feel like I lucked out too because I’ll get to read their reviews. :) <br /><br />Celesta, Ooh, yay for reserving Steel! I hope you like it! Check out Paranormalcy for sure. It was so fun and unique. I hope your library gets Wake Unto Me soon.<br /><br />Need Tea, Aw, that sucks. I was rejected for Hereafter and Die For Me, but now that I’ve read a bunch of reviews I wonder if maybe they have a good handle on my tastes. The reviews make them seem like I might not like them much after all. Still, it would be nice to decide for myself, but I guess I can always do that when the books are published. :) You’re right, too, it’s not like we have a lack of books to read :P <br /><br />Lucia, Yay! I’m so glad to hear you’re loving Paranormalcy!! I think you’ll love Supernaturally then :) <br /><br /><br />A Backwards Story, Haha, yeah, I probably looked like a very happy crazy woman when I opened the envelope :P It is very paranormal, so you may not like it if you’re not into paranormals, but Evie’s voice is what makes it for me. She’s someone I’d like to make real. I haven’t read any Carrie Vaughn books yet, but Voices of Dragons and Discords Apple are on my TBR, so I can’t wait to see what you think of all of them! Oh my gosh, I love Brightly Woven! I like both of their blogs, they both seem so sweet. <br /><br />Logan, I hoooope Steel is good, but I’m almost afraid to read it now because my hopes are so high. LOL! Unicorns farting rainbows? That visual is just too perfect. I’m so using that :P And, if you like that, then you’d love Supernaturally. And Rampant. Have you read Rampant? You should. ;)Small Reviewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16072352095510905410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955420282479112508.post-3001213922281844932011-04-11T14:04:39.707-04:002011-04-11T14:04:39.707-04:00High fantasy time travel? WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO ME...High fantasy time travel? WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO ME? I can't wait to hear what you think of Steel.<br /><br />I haven't read Paranormalcy yet (I know!) but I do understand the terrific amount of win here. I'm going to steal a line from a birthday card I just gave my best friend, but tell your fiance that it's like a unicorn farting rainbows - that thing you never thought you'd see, but when you do it brings a tear to your eye.<br /><br />I leave it to him to determine if the tear is from the scent or the moving brilliance of that particular sight. For me, it's totally the latter.Logan E.

But I hear so much great stuff about it...<br /><br />I bought "Steel" but haven't had a chance to read it yet. I just bought another Carrie Vaughn book, "After the Golden Age" for half-price at The Strand yesterday. Couldn't resist...it's not even "out" until Tuesday! I also bought two more of her books, "Voices of Dragons" and "Discord's Apple," b/c Amazon was getting rid of the hardbacks at super bargain prices. I can't wait to read all these books of hers. I think I am going to LOVE her! All her books are wildly different, but sound so good..!!<br /><br />I just got "The Near Witch," too. I can't WAIT to read it. I've wanted to since Alexandra Bracken ("Brightly Woven") posted that Victoria had gotten her cover on her blog way back when and I've been following her blog ever since. She's such a lovely person!Bonnie @ A Backwards Storyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02988547424004889874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955420282479112508.post-20854324366278850662011-04-10T19:03:14.117-04:002011-04-10T19:03:14.117-04:00SUPERNATURALLY???

Plus, I didn't think my library would have Wake Unto Me or Steel yet, but seeing that your library did, I went and checked mine! They don't have wake unto me (unfortunately) but I was able to reserve Steel!

If I had a color printer I’d probably be super dorky and print out that cover to stick on my library copy (the library cover is sooo not pretty). I’ve heard really good things about it too. I hope you like it! <br /><br />A Canadian Girl, :) Just so long as I’m not being killed, then yup, I totally support you (figurative) killing to get your hands on a copy of Supernaturally.

Do you normally like high fantasy? <br /><br />BooksforCompany, I know, I’m almost overwhelmed by how many books are here! <br /><br />Blueicegal, It is so much prettier in person too!

I like the illustrations. :)<br /><br />Danny, Yay!!! I’m so happy for you! Oh my gosh, go read so we can squee together! <br /><br />Annabell, Haha, I hear you on having so many other books to read. I still have books from my last mailbox. I think they’re starting to give me dirty looks. :P I hope you enjoy Steel!<br /><br />Lazy Girl, I love high fantasy. I usually think of it as including books like The Lord of the Rings or similar books with questing, a fictional “medieval-like” world with swords and castles, magic, and beings like wizards and elves. <br /><br />Julie, Thanks!

But…then I think back on all of those 500+ page high fantasy books I’ve devoured and maybe this will be ok? I’m hoping. I want to try to read it soon, but as you can see I’m sort of have zero impulse control when it comes to getting books! Hopefully I’ll get to Ravenwild sooner rather than later. I’ll let you know more about The Near Witch after I’ve read it. I’ve only read the first two or three chapters. <br /><br />Rubita, You are going to <i>love</i> Supernaturally! <br /><br />Suz, Thanks so much for following! I hope you enjoy your time here :) Totally read Paranormalcy! Evie is so sweet and funny, but she also has a lot of depth. I love Kiersten White’s unique take on paranormals. Have you read The Ghost and the Goth? If you liked that, then I think you’ll really like Queen of the Dead. I love watching Alona and Will fight! <br /><br />Vy, I hope Steel is as good as it looks. I could really go for a pirate time travel romance book. <br /><br />Julie, Aaah, go read Paranormalcy! :P I hope you library gets Wake Unto Me too! Mine didn’t have it for a while and then all of a sudden it was there and then arrived quickly through ILL. Now I just need to get through all my other ILL books :P I’m really curious about The Long Weekend too. It sounds so disturbing. <br /><br />Alex, LOL YES!! Thank you! You do totally get it :) I can just picture you trying to be all stealthy with your crinkly plastic bag. :P (which, yeah, I’ve done the plastic bag thing too. Ziplock bags are great for books :P ) <br /><br />Nic, Ooh, I’m going to try that analogy! Thanks! I hope you love Supernaturally.
