Planning to start it tomorrow right after uni.

Lenore, I honestly can't wait to read your book in 2013;)

I had the most fun time at Frankfurt this year and I can't wait for Frankfurt Book Fair 2013!! Expect some giveaways of books and more Level Two postcards and magnets soon.
It sounds like such an intriguing premise, and a reviewer I admire (April from Good Books and Good Wine) already gave it five stars.
ReplyDeleteI saw the publicists I follow mentioning Frankfurt all over Twitter. I wish I could have been there! All those books! *drools* Enjoy! :D
ReplyDeleteSo just fly over to Frankfurt Book Fair 2013;)
DeleteSo great to meet you!! Also my favorite part of the book fair :)
ReplyDeleteI recently read Beautiful Disaster and I'm totally intrigued to hear that this new story is from the guy's POV. Same events I think?
So glad to hear that:) I forgot to apologize in my blog post for making you speak German all the time!!
DeleteYes, I think it's following the same events. But I guess there are some scenes without Abbey in them, which will be new to readers of Beautiful Disaster.
For free? Welche hast du for free gekriegt? :O *auch will*
ReplyDeleteOh, die hier alle aufzuzählen... ungefähr die Hälfte der Bücher. Alle ARCs natürlich, die von Scholastic, Harlequin, Throne of Glass. Habe mich wirklich sehr über alle gefreut:)
DeleteTotal genial :D Und wie?
DeleteDie von Scholastic haben eh alles verschenkt, weil sie es nicht mehr mitnehmen wollten. Und mit den anderen habe ich mich etwas länger unterhalten und wir haben über Bücher geplaudert. Hatte eigentlich erwartet, dass ich die trotzdem kaufe, aber am Ende meinten dann manche eben, dass ich sie mitnehmen kann, weil ich ja auch Buchkritiken dazu veröffentliche.
DeleteEcht genial :D
DeleteHast du auch Bücher mitgenommen? Sehe gerade, dass dein Profilfoto ja von der Marie Lu Signierstunde ist. Finde ich super:)
DeleteMakes me wish the Vienna Book Fair was half as good as the one in Frankfurt (alas it's not, and I was thoroughly disappointed when I went there last year). Cannot wait for those giveaways *rubs hands in anticipation*!
ReplyDeleteAt least Vienna's a beautiful city one can't visit often enough:) Sorry, to hear that its book fair was a disappointment though. Just come to Frankfurt next year!
DeleteAwesome. With every report I read about the Book Fair, I get more and more jealous. xD Next year, I really have to go there myself. It won't be the shortest travel, but it seems worth the time. (And money. v.v Well, it's just the opposite corner of Germany. xD)
ReplyDeleteThough even if I went I don't think it would be so successful. I never get any books in Leipzig and when I come book other people's reports are full of free books. I'm doing it wrong, I guess. :D
You have so many great books. Omigosh! I'm so jelous :) Enjoy them all and happy reading.
ReplyDelete-Dannielle
Enjoy the books, girl!
ReplyDeleteI'm really excited to read Level 2, since I saw it on Goodreads!
I want to read it because I like the cover actually. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway!
WOW, so many amazing books! I have never seen the paperback versions of the Inheritance trilogy, and never any paperback edition of Inheritance, the fourth book. Maybe they aren't available in the US, but I want them now. :) I also love that really cool edition of Throne of Glass. Ya'll in Europe get all the really pretty editions of books! Enjoy all your new books, and glad you had such a good time at the book fair. :)
ReplyDeleteI want to read this book because of the amazing cover. I adore the cover for Level 2. It's perfect ;) And, of course, because of the summary. The summary is amazing. So good. Cannot wait to figure out everything in this book :D So excited for it all. <3 Also, Lenore is awesome. <3 Thank you for this perfect giveaway :)
ReplyDeleteAhh! I suck. Forgot to mention all the amazing books you got! Gaaaah. I am such a jealous person. <3 they all look perfect :) Sigh. <3 Hope you enjoy it all :D *Hugs*
ReplyDeleteLove, Carina
You have so many great books. I'm so jelous !
ReplyDeleteHappy Reading.
Thanks for the giveaway!
HOLY SMUTT! You have Walking Disaster! :)) I haven't even read Beautiful Disaster yet but I know i'll be swooning after WD shortly after I finish it! Aaahh!
