Hey guys! Welcome to another issue of the Galaxy Gazette! :) GG is inspired by Sophie's Monday News and the In My Mailbox meme by Kristi. Even though I'm not participating in IMM anymore, a few bloggers pointed out it's only right to credit Kristi since many of these new memes are all IMM inspired. (Including mine!)

Cracked Up to Be by Courtney Summers
I won DCTW in a Twitter contest last night! I'm super duper excited to read it. :) I also found some treasures of my own (Bloodlines and Finnikin!) If you know me, you know I've been craving a good YA epic/high fantasy book and Finnikin definitely fits my needs! ♥ CUTB was on sale for about $2.99 and one of my Twitter friends highly recommended it, and it was just $3 so what was I going to lose?
As you all may have noticed, I got an extra ARC (paperback) of One Moment. I'm not sure if I'll be giving it away or trading it. For all you excited contemporary fans who want to read this book at any cost, fill out the trade form below and maybe we can work something out! :)

What's Happening Across the Blogger Galaxy?
- Book Brats have a discussion on sex in YA literature. I really liked reading their discussion (which is called Talking Points) and it was insightful. It's probably not meant for those sixteen and under, because of the language they use. Also, fans of Halo, it's recommended you don't read this.
- Cindy, my forever awesome bloggy friend, is having three giveaways to celebrate her blogoversary! You can win one of three amazing prize packs: the romance prize pack (ooh la la~), paranormal prize pack, and the foreseen prize pack (which has THIS IS NOT A TEST!!) Go enter guys! :D
- Hilda at Catch the Lune is having a giveaway of her own! It's called The Red String of Fate giveaway, and you can win awesome prizes like TIR, Sweet Evil, Insurgent, and more! Get at her giveaway, people! ;D
- The Book Barbies got an absolutely adorable makeover!

As I already told you, I love your header! Onto the books... You really haven't read Bloodlines yet? It's a MUST! Really, I can't resist more Adrian goodness. Gosh. I want The Golden Lily!
I also got One Moment. I hope it's as good as it sounds (and not too creepy, please >.<). And I've also heard many good things about Cracked up to Be. I'll be waiting for your review! <3
Heeeey, nice section! I really like it, since I don't go out of my blogger "comfort zone" much and I end up missing amazing articles like this one. Thanks for sharing!
Awww Raquel<333 Shmankssss! I've yet to read CUTB, I'll probably devour it this weekend? And no problem, your blog is worth mentioning! :D ,
Thanks! :) Isn't she just awesome?
Thanks Sophie :) And no, I haven't D; I was hesitant on reading it because what if it's not as good as the hype says it is? I'll read it soon since I love me some Adrian time xD
Thank you :D GG was inspired by you, girly <33
Looks like you will be having a pretty awesome giveaway!!! :) All those books are <3 worthy but I've only read Sweet Evil and The Immortal Rules!
