This was a very small, but very lovely week. On Monday, I received some absolutely fantastic swag from Jill Hathaway, author of Slide. It is honestly gorgeous. I think I may have stared at these for a few solid minutes after I received them.
A cover flat, a post card, and a lovely, lovely bookmark. Thank you so much, Jill!
Next up, I received a $50 American Express card from Penguin Teen, as one winner of the sweepstakes for the Breathless Reads Tour. That, I expected. What I didn't expect was this:
An ARC of Cold Fury by T. M. Goeglein!
I was pleasantly surprised. Emphasis on the surprised. I've heard of Cold Fury before and adore the premise, but I really did not expect it to be part of my prize. Is it typical to include ARCs in a prize? If you know the answer, that'd be awesome.
And that's all I got this week! What did you get in your mailbox?

This is a nice haul, and I am so jealous that you got Cold Fury! It looks like such a good book and I want to read it so bad. I have Slide, but have yet to read it. I hope that you enjoy reading them both!
Thanks for sharing!

A surprise ARC? That's awesome! I can't wait to see what you think of Cold Fury. I like the sound of that book. :) I love the Slide swag too! Doesn't that book just have the most amazing cover art? It all looks so pretty.
Lots of great swag from Jill, I see! :) I haven't heard of Cold Fury before, but now it's on my to-read list! :)
Here's my IMM!
Happy reading!

Congratulations on winning the Penguin prize, Lexie! That's so awesome. :) It's nice they threw in the extra ARC, too.
And how funny that you received a flat with your other swag for SLIDE, though. Is it autographed? It's kind of an unusual thing to send a blogger, hah.
