Whoa, hey! A vlog? Click click.
Um. The formatting isn't working on me again. :\

For Review:

- Freefall by Mindi Scott, released in Australia: November 2010. Thanks to Simon & Schuster for sending this along! Contemps Challenge!
I welcome YA-novels-with-male-protagonists. And Freefall is a debut novel, and it's contemporary! I've been dying to read this for ever!
{gr}
- Between Shades of Gray ARC by Ruta Sepetys, for release in Australia: April 2011. Thanks to Penguin Australia for the proof!
I'm really surprised there even is an ARC of this. Australian releases don't get ARCs. I'm not complaining though. I'm super excited to read this one, and urge you to watch the trailer! It's heartbreaking, educational and really drew me in to this book.
These two were sneak-attacks. I thought I'd only received my Secret Santa gift. I wasn't even going to do an IMM, until the mailman came on a Saturday to save the week. ♥
Bought:
Nothing. I've been buying stuff for other people.
Gifted:
{gr}
- The Hunger Games, as well as some choccies!
Booklovers Secret Santa! Thanks a lot, Emma {What's Cracking Coops}!!
BookMooch:
Nothing.
Won:
Gasp! Nothing.
NetGalley:
Also nothing.

About the ultimate YA novel.. It may sound cheesy from a fan like me, but I'd recommend Harry Potter to everyone. It's my ultimate series and I love it. The first two books are a bit childish, almost, but when we come to book three, I'm completely sucked in by the story and the 'childish' thing completely disappears.
I haven't been around long enough in the bookblogging world to know a ton of YA novels, but I'd say that this series really changed my way of reading.
Happy reading! My In My Mailbox is here :)

As for all time favorite YA, I have to go with the Thief series by Megan Whalen Turner. I LOVE that series, especially the third, King of Attolia. And then Unwind by Neal Shusterman. Love him, too.

I have to admit that when I entered the competition on Susanne's FB page, I had onyl just discovered her and her books so In The Shadow Of The Lamp was my first of hers. All the rest are at the top of my christmas book wishlist! I'm really glad she's sending you an ARC and that her longer term fans can get an early look too (I felt a bit bad about that!) I hope it arrives soon and I can't wait to hear what you think about it :)
