Sunday Post: Book Pre-order Campaigns & Giveaways Galore – 3/6/22

This past week on FYFA (and in my life):

• Visit to Iowa State. I already talked about this in my monthly wrap-up, so I won’t go into detail. But the visit was enlightening in a couple of ways. It looks like we might have things narrowed down to University of Georgia and Purdue? But don’t hold me to that!
• Another busy week! On Monday we were at Iowa State all day. On Tuesday I took my daughter out of school for an orthodontist appointment. On Wednesday I had an SCBWI critique group meeting. On Thursday I volunteered at Bernie’s Book Bank, then my daughter had a track meet AND a choir recital (we had to leave the track meet early to zip over to the recital). On Friday I caught up on life. And on Saturday my daughter had a solo and ensemble competition for choir and then I took Digit to his agility class.
• What I Read
  • I read a manuscript for a fellow author and then started another one for a different author friend. Then I read Breaking the News: What’s Real, What’s Not, and Why the Difference Matters, a National Geographic Kids book by Robin Terry Brown. I also started reading The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood and Song of Solomon by Toni Morrison, both of which my daughter is reading for her AP Lit class.
  • I continued listening to When We Were Magic by Sarah Gailey. (And we also listened to part of The Handmaid’s Tale while we were driving home from Iowa State.)
• What I Watched:
  • I watched the movie Just Like Heaven on Netflix. It’s a Reese Witherspoon flick about a doctor who ends up in a coma and haunts the new tenant in her apartment.
  • My mom and I also started watching Kim’s Convenience, which I’m finding utterly hilarious!

Book Haul:

NetGalley:

I was auto-approved with Disney Publishing, which is both amazing and very dangerous! I couldn’t resist picking up a few books – and now I need to get reading!! (Honestly, I think I showed great restraint. LOL!)

First off, I got Bravely by Maggie Stiefvater. The combo of Disney and Stiefvater was pretty much impossible for me to resist. Then, I picked up The Last Fallen Moon by Graci Kim because I adored the first book in this series (it was one of my favorites of 2021!). And, finally, I downloaded Shinji Takahashi and the Mark of the Coatl by Julie Kagawa. Kagawa is an all-time favorite author, and I can’t wait to read her new middle grade! (I actually ended up signing up for the tour for this one too, so watch for that in April…)

I also received The Button Box by Bridget Hodder and Fawzia Gilani-Williams, illustrated by Harshad Marathe from the authors’ publicist.
