I never thought I would ever read The Piper's Son before it's US release or even hold the Australian edition in my hands. But I actually am now. O_O Melina Marchetta is my FAVORITE author, so I'm way beyond excited. Thanks to my Bookers friends on GoodReads! *glomps them all* I will start reading it as soon as I finish re-reading the companion novel Saving Francesca!

Hush, Hush was given to me by the same friend who sent The Piper's Son. Really curious about that one; I've read mixed reviews, so I wonder what I'll think about it. The final volume of Happy Happy Clover I bought for my little sister. It was suppose to be a birthday present, but since her birthday was weeks ago...looks like it'll be a Christmas present instead. It's a cute, short manga series for kids. It'll especially appeal to girls. :) Also bought Anna and the French Kiss; plan on reading it with my GoodReads book group sometime next week. Can't wait! :D

And finally, Candlewick Press held a contest for a t-shirt on their Twitter. I was not the winner; however, since there was only 3 (!!) participants, they sent me a free book! The book ended up being a signed, hardcover copy of Monsters of Men, which was really cool. I'm super motivated to read the 'Chaos Walking' trilogy, but I need to find time to read them because they're thick books!

Well, that's it for this week! Hopefully my next IMM will be as exciting. Now, time to continue reading. >:)
