**Special scenario for this one. Way back in February, I won a Breathless Reads Tour poster from Ally Condie in a giveaway she hosted on her website. A long time later, and I still hadn't received it. I tweeted her about it, and she said to tweet Penguin Teen. I did. No response. I waited a bit longer. The next time, I tweeted both Ms. Condie & Penguin Teen. Ms. Condie didn't know what was wrong. Penguin Teen told me that the posters should've already been shipped and that I should email them. I did. No response. I participated in Ms. Condie's giveaway for an ARC of
Enthralled and though I wasn't the winner, she spotted my name in the comments and emailed me, asking me if I wanted an ARC since I had such a hard time with the poster. Um, yeah!!! So in conclusion, no response from Penguin and no poster but an ARC from Ally. What a nice gesture on her part.
Enthralled &
Awaken are books I've chosen for the
#30books30days challenge so expect reviews for those soon :)... And of course, I will probably be reviewing the Netgalley titles ASAP. May flip some of that schedule around to get
Angel Burn in.
