Hello! Wow February really is a short month.. I am not sure how it's already March but it is and with it come some really great book events. I don't know how many of these I (Thuy) will be able to make since a lot of them are in Redondo Beach or San Diego. Hopefully I can make the Holly Goldberg Sloan signing in Burbank though since it's right in my hood. We hope that you are able to get out to some of these events. As always, let me know if I've missed anything and I'll add it to the calendar. Happy reading!

In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by The Story Siren (inspired by Alea at Pop Culture Junkie) where you can show off the books that you got last week.

Whoops, I've been missing in action for quite a while, huh? I went to see The Hunger Games (twice) and pretty much have been in a knotted-up ball of squee since then. I was in a reading funk before and now I'm reading like there's no tomorrow and I have to finish ALL of the books RIGHT NOW!

Here's what I got in the last couple of weeks:

For review from the awesome folks at Tor Teen:


Purchased from Vroman's Bookstore (I couldn't go to the event, but luckily I had friends who attended the Dark Days signing):





Purchased at Once Upon a Time in a moment of weakness, the book budget long forgotten:


I also bought a bunch of adult novels (for my new iPad 3!) and some borrowed some nonfiction from the library, that I won't mention here as they are irrelevant to this blog ;) I might dish about them over on Nite Lite if I have time.

What's in your mailbox?

Last week I was lucky enough to make it the the Dark Days Event at Vroman's Bookstore. I got there about 15 minutes early and there was already a small crowd. I bought my books and waited for the fun to start. Lauren Oliver (Delirium, Pandemonium), Claudia Gray (Evernight series, Fateful) and Dan Wells (Partials) all came to talk about their new releases and answer questions from the crowd. I thought this was a really great event. The authors were well spoken, smart, and very funny. I may have bought too many books. :)

I am terrible at taking notes but here are some topics that were touched upon and what the authors had to say about them. (and this is all from memory so please don't quote me on this)

Cliffangers (This question was directed to all the authors with a special nod to Lauren)

Lauren Oliver (LO): Lauren said that she doesn't plan for her books to be cliffhangers but that sometimes it's just the way the story needs to be told. She also said that a writer's job was to pose a question to the reader that only the writer could answer. Maybe that question would be answered in the next chapter and another question raised, and so on, so that the reader wants to keep reading
Claudia Gray (CG): Claudia talked about an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation she watched when she was younger before cliffhangers were popular in television. She talked about how she and all her friends gathered to watch it and were shocked by the cliffhanger ending. She said that it was hard waiting for the next season's episode but that the experience is one that she would not trade for anything.
Dan Wells (DW): Why is every episode of a television show now a cliffhanger? Because it works! Cliffhangers get readers to come back for more:

How do you write a good romance?

LO: Writing a good romance i
