I have been wanting to read this book since i first heard about it. I would love to win it, though the cover may be too creepy for me!

I get on Twitter for a few days then forget for a few months. I think I have been on for like almost a week now. I am finally reading again and that feels nice.

Definitely. Today for example. I found out about a book, When She Woke by Hillary Jordan, on Twitter. Fell in love with the book and won the book in only about a 20 minute span. I felt pretty amazing.

I had such a great time at Teen Book Fest in October. I hope to get more posts up about it soon. I don't think it will be on NetGalley since it is published by Simon and Schuster. I am wondering if there is a chance it may show up on Galley Grab? I am seeing Elana again in a few days and I am hoping I will get to hear her talk about her book some. I will have way too much to blog about that experience too. Who knows when I will get all the posts done. Thanks for your comment.

Thank you very much for you comment. It has just occurred to me that maybe I should have included a link to my review of The Declaration somewhere in the post. Here is the link now for you http://poseysessions.blogspot.com/2009/11/declara... or anyone else who is interested. I am glad you liked how I set up this review. I put some thought into it, but I wasn't sure it would read as well as I hoped.

Understanding the fundamentals and dynamics of dystopia is one of my primary interests to me right now. Dystopia, for me, must be more than an entertaining story, Thanks so much for you comment.

I would probably be one of the first to go too, which is why I so excited I lived as long as I did and didn't even get killed by a zombie! My email is not a big fan of me either, but with Mr. X and I both signed up I have a way to know if I miss one. So far, thankfully, I haven't missed one. I think the program is a great way to try out new books. Thanks for the comment. I definitely think this would be worth buying and keeping around for those days when you want to read something but you can't decide what!

3 books does make a list. Don't beat yourself up! Just think about the people who don't read that many books in a year. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE check out Silver Phoenix. I promised Cindy I would recommend it and I have been trying to do it as much as possible because it has been a LONG time since I felt so strongly about a book.

I cannot even express how amazing it is. It really touched me in a way that a book as not done since childhood. Would love to hear your thoughts about it.

Thank you for the encouragement. I didn't update this list before I posted it, so I know that book will be a little later but I have it right here ready to go when everyone else has it. I have more books I have gotten since I wrote this and books I forgot about but at least I have a starting point, AND I am blogging again. Thanks again.

I take in a lot of books. Maybe about 1000 a year. I think I can take it easy for a month and t won't be a big deal. For me there is a fine line between having fun and not doing anything. Sometimes we forget how fun things are unless we are doing them. I have spent a month being unfocused and I want to change that. Thanks for the comment and the encouragement.

In January I brought in about 200 books or so and I read 7. My goal was to read twice that many. I think by not buying books it will help me refocus some and not feel overwhelmed. I have piles of books here from my wishlists and still they just sit. I may make up for the month off by buying 400 books in March, but I am okay with that!

Recovering from the holidays is hard for me. I feel like so much of my focus is split. We got at lot a books out to students and next term/this term will be even better because it won't have so many holidays splitting it up. I need to read that Alexi book. I really like the short writings I studied in the Native American class I took. I think I am about 20 reviews behind, so I can understand being behind.

Oh I forgot to put the SWAP part. I am addicted to getting books through them even though I have MORE than enough here. I really enjoyed The New Policeman. Have you read more in the series? I have two other first books in series by Kate Thompson here and I am hoping to start at least one of them soon.

2009 was the first year I kept track of how many books I read (183). 2010 I stopping keeping track mid March and had to guess on my book total, which was somewhere around 43. I just want 2011 to be a better reading year for me.

The Declaration seems to be gaining a lot of interest right now. The best thing about it is that the whole series has released now (I think) so no waiting in suspense. Unless you make it yourself. I keep planning on reading The Resistance but never do. Partly I loved The Declaration so much I don't want that love affair to end. Please let me know if you read either book, I would love to know your thoughts on them.
