Kicking off 2011 with one of my favorite authors!

Happy New Year!

Whoa! What a crazy last few weeks it's been. Parties, dinners, family, shopping, reading, enjoying life. I'm sad to see the holidays end but ready to start back in a routine and get these revisions done. I've missed my writing/book friends and can't wait to get back into the swing of things and blog regularly again. Hope you all had a great time with family and friends and made the most of vacation days and celebrating.

To kick off my first post of 2011 I'm redirecting you to the interview I did with Maria V. Snyder on our Fallenarchangel blog with a contest that starts tonight. Which you can find right HERE.

Check out the covers of the Australian Study series books Maria's providing for the contest. So cool! Sigh. If only I was eligible to enter our own contest. Lucky you can! Go check out the interview and enter for you chance to snag this amazing set of books. I just finished 2 more of Maria's books this week. And WOW.

INSIDE OUT and the upcoming OUTSIDE IN. Soooo good! Can't wait to share my thoughts soon.

And now that I've got my Kindle, watch out! I've got

Anna and the French Kiss and The Dark Divine ready to go! I've heard

great things about both books.

I'm reading (actual book) The Vampire Diaries Stefan's Diaries Vol 2: Bloodlust

for the second half of our January feature on Fallenarchangel. Oh how I love

being inside Stefan's head again!

Ohhh and Beth Revis's Across the Universe was out early in our local B&N!

Woohoo Beth! DYING to start this one because the story is so damn awesome but

also because I have followed Beth's blog since I started writing and saw first hand

how she went from aspiring/querying/revising writer to superstar debut author. So happy for her!

Have you read any of these books? Planning to? I'd love to hear what you think!
