In My Mailbox [2]

I got a little bit thrown off on New Year's Resolution #1 last week...honestly, isn't the "joy to all mankind and I shall become a better person and lay off the cookies" magic of the holidays covered under warranty until, like, March?

But, I am happy to say that I return bearing good news - namely, the fact that I'm one of Random Buzzers' Spring 2013 Am-buzz-adors! I'll be promoting Dualed by the wonderful Elsie Chapman AND Strands of Bronze and Gold by talented historical writer Jane Nickerson. Every time I think about it, I practically bounce on my toes because I AM SO POSITIVELY EXCITED.

Anyway, moving on.

I did also get some lovely books in the mail recently, as well as a trip to the library just this afternoon, so let's finish off the small talk and get to the titles, yes?
