April In Review

Another month down! Summer is approaching. The teachers at my school are in countdown mode. We have less than 30 days of work or something (I'm not really counting...). May brings some changes. I'll be blogging on Wednesdays and Saturdays over at Book Blather about Library stuff. :) So make sure to stop by and say hi. I'm way behind on reviews over here and there's less tours coming up this month, so hopefully I will stop being lazy and get caught up. Both April and I have been busy so it might start to be a little calmer around here post-wise.

The random commenter last month chosen to win an April YA release of choice was *drumroll*

Zombie Girrrl!

Which is no surprise since she commented a ton last month! :) Please email me when you get a chance, otherwise I'll hunt down your email info on your blog.

We'll be holding the same contest this month, only for a May YA release of your choice. Any meaningful comments you leave will be counted towards the contest. Meaningful means a full sentence or two that doesn't just say something like "great review", etc. There will be at least one winner. All posts in May count except for contest/contest winner posts. I prefer to order via Book Depository.
