** My apologies if you saw this post earlier today. An incomplete version went up. **

My first StS post of 2013! It's been a while since I've written one of these so I have a lot of loot. ^^

Yeah, that was a total humblebrag.

I got some lovely books in the past month or so, mostly a nice selection of review copies, so I feel quite fortunate. It's the perfect time for lots of reading because it's been really yucky here in Newfoundland, so all I want to do is hunker down with a good book. I'm particularly excited to share the stuff I won from Literary Escapism since I got it as a prize for helping to rename Casey's Literary Rants, a feature they used to have. (It's now known as Escapist Uncensored since many of the site's contributors write them and it's one of my favourite features on te site.)

Before I show you what I've been lucky enough to receive, I wanted to wish you all a Happy Chinese New Year (for tomorrow). It's an important day for me and mine so welcome to the Year of the Snake!

When she's not dissertating, which happens more often than it should, Jenn spends her time reading, watching movies, playing volleyball, travelling, and enjoying the local music scene. Her latest addictions: yoga and Almond Crunch cereal.

    I haven't been able to do a book haul post for a long time either since I was trying to reign in my TBR pile.

    Most of these books are new to me but I've been dying to get my hands on Timeless by Alexandra Monir!

    Happy Reading! :)

    Hi, Jenn!

    What a SUPER nice haul!! Oh, you must be ECSTATIC, especially after winning so many great books from Literary Escapism!! The titles you bought are wonderful, as well! Of course, it's always wonderful to get fascinating books for review, and the ones you have here are certainly intriguing. I can tell you that I already covet "The Darkest Minds", "No Such Thing as Immortality", and "A Vampire for Christmas",

    I'm going to investigate all of these books further, but the covers sure promise some great stories!!

    Thanks for sharing your awesome collection, and Happy Reading!! :)
