In My Mailbox: Super Giant ALAN Box of Books edition!

I'm loving the mix of big releases and indie names, as well as the multicultural aspect to a lot of them. The Comet's Curse even has an Asian half-face on the cover! So now everyone can take part in the YA cover crappiness! LOOK!

In all seriousness, it makes me so happy to see a PoC face on the cover, especially on a cover that isn't for a gritty contemp story. (Nothing against gritty contemps, in fact I LOVE gritty contemps, but it's the only book we ever seem to see PoCs in). In a PoC vein, I'm also excited for the Dean Myers and Williams Garcia books in the bunch. I've already read Monster, but the rest are all new to me. One Crazy Summer looks especially fantastic.

Other excitements: Divergent, Between Here and Forever, Pie, Feed, and What Happened to Goodbye, especially since the latter two are signed! *happy dance*

Ones I've already finished and loved: Everybody Sees the Ants and And Then Things Fall Apart. Rush-out-and-buy-right-now picks, to be sure.
