It occurred to me while going through my blog the past few weeks that many of the books I feature (either through WOW or a contest) are not available when I feature them. This means you can pre-order your copy, but if you're one of those people who like to buy a book in person, or maybe borrow it from the library/a friend, you have to wait until the release date. And who can remember all those dates? I have to keep a calendar to stay straight!
To aid those of you who have this problem, I'm starting the feature Now Available. Each month I'll go through my blog archives and pick out any book that was featured in the past month and has now become available. That way you can buy/borrow/whatever right away. I've seen this done with reviews on a few other blogs, but why not with contests too? Especially since I usually don't post a review before the release date.
So here's a list of all the books featured on this blog since January that have now become available. Remember, this only applies to those books that were featured before their release date. I'll also provide a link to each original post in case you're interested. Now, this list will be long because, like the wish list yesterday, it's the first one. In case you're wondering, these are listed in chronological order, with the oldest feature at the top and the newest featured ones at the bottom.
These featured books are now available in a store near you:
The Girls
Absolutely Maybe

Wild Orchid: A Retelling of the Ballad of Mulan
My Life in Pink & Green

That's a really good idea! And it's really helpful too. Thank you :)
Great idea! It's always cool to see what books are out. =D
Good idea! It does get confusing with all the buzz. What's actually out there?
Cool feature.
Great idea! Personally, my to-read list is ridiculously long, so by the time I get around to reading anything, it's out :P
Fantastic idea!
I find it hard to remember when certain books become available and since I love so many of the books you do, I can always find something new!
