I heard the Hush Hush series is awesome but I have also heard that tithe was pretty good. But I think you should read Hush Hush because it has a huge fan base behind it so it must be good?....

I've gotten a few physical ARCs, but mostly ebooks. Many I get directly from authors and some through review programs here on Goodreads, LibraryThing or Netgalley.

I've gotten them off of GR. Up at the top of your page there is an "Explore" tab, and under that there is a tab for "giveaways." You can sign up to win ARCs there. That's where I've gotten most of my physical ARCs. I've also gotten some from LibaryThing, which has the same program.

Alycia Linwood (alycia_linwood) I started City of Glass (The Mortal Instruments, #3) by Cassandra Clare and Last Sacrifice (Vampire Academy, #6) by Richelle Mead Both series are just highly addictive and I keep reading one book after another so fast! I can't believe I got to the last one of Vampire Academy. Makes me kind of sad to finish it. :)

I know I'm dragging my feet on finishing the series because I don't want to end! I just have to read the last book and then I guess I'll move on to bloodlines. But I thinks it's cool that Rose and Dimitri might show up in Bloodlines Hopefully? But yes, awesome series and I wish the books were as big and long like Harry potter lol.

I guess I'll be reading Bloodlines too. I would love it if Rose appeared there too! She's so awesome, one of my favorite female characters. I just hope I'll like Bloodlines as much as I love VA.
