If you skip down a post or two, you’ll see the bit in my “predictions” (or wishes) for the NBA finalists where I said that because I don’t have a book buying budget, I use the library and so I’m mostly reading 2007’s books instead of 2008 because the library hasn’t gotten many 2008s yet. Or something to that effect. Well, guess what? Now I’m reading 2009’s books! Yes, it’s true! My friend who works for Penguin Canada came through as promised and her husband delivered a box of 34 Advanced Reading Copies of books that are coming out in 2009! There were several in the box that I’d marked in the catalogue that my editor sent me as “ones of interest” along with books by several of my friends! I’ve already raced through Janette Rallison’s JUST ONE WISH and let me tell you, YOU DO NOT WANT TO MISS THIS ONE! I have always loved JR’s books, even before we met (okay, she’s what my friend Eileen would call an imaginary friend because we only know each other through email, but whatever!). I think this is her best book yet.
I am not sure how to approach writing about these ARCs on Need To Read though because if I write about them as I read them, y’all won’t be able to get them yet and then you might forget about them. What I’m thinking is I will write my reviews, post date them to the month they are scheduled to come out, and then just keep a running list on Need To Read of what I’m reading and when you can expect the review. Does that work for you all?
