Hot Off the Presses: New YA January 15-21
Yes, you’re in the right place. New Year, new look. What do you think? Lori from Imagination Designs did this beautiful new blog design for me and I love it!
Welcome to Hot Off the Presses! Every Tuesday, I tell you about all the great books releasing and then give you a chance to link your reviews for more traffic and win a new release.
What new YA is coming up the week of January 15? After all last week’s books, you might be happy to hear that there isn’t a ton of new stuff this week.
So I am combining this week’s giveaway with next week’s. The giveaway choices for this week will be: Level 2, Shades of Earth or Uses for Boys. There will be NEW options added next week — and they’re listed on the Rafflecopter.
As always, click on the cover to get to the book’s Goodreads page.
** Books with an asterisk may have a later international release date**
Shades of Earth by Beth Revis (Razorbill)
Uses for Boys by Erica Lorraine Scheidt (St. Martins)
Also:
Novella! Life Before Legend by Marie Lu (Penguin)
Touch of Death by Kelly Hashway (Spencer Hill)

I've very excited about Shades of Earth. Kate, Steph, Jessie (The Daily Bookmark) and I are going to a signing next week and she is one of the authors 🙂
And seriously, this design is so pretty!!!
Loved Shades of Earth — have fun at the signing.
And yes, Lori outdid herself with the design 🙂
Look how pretty your new blog look is!!! Love it!! This weeks new releases and me didn't get along so well lol. I DNF'd both Level 2 and Uses for Boys. I do really want Vortex though!! Also, even though it ended up shipping early, Touch of Death by Kelly Hashway released today too.
I liked Shades of Gray!
Added Touch of Death — thanks for the heads-up!
Love the new blog look-it caught me totally off guard as I wondered if I had clicked something wrong.
So excited for Level 2-can't wait to get it at the library!
Yeah, I had a feeling a lot of people would be baffled. I've been looking at it for a week as Lori and I worked on it, so I've adjusted!
Jen, your design is amazing! I love it!! I am so snagging your button!
I'm actually really looking forward to Shades of Earth, but I need to try to read A Million Suns soon!!
Aw, thanks. I'm making bookmarks and I'll send you one 🙂
Love your new look!!! 🙂 And I love that this week and next week are relatively quiet so I can get caught up for all of the books releasing on the 29th. I'm going to go check out your review of Shades of Earth now. 🙂
I'm happy about that too. Last week was crazy!
Your blog design looks perfect! This is probably the calmest week for releases this month. Which is nice.
And I still have a huge pile to read. I got Altered from the library yesterday!
Ohhh, I love the new look! So clean and I love the castle in the header 😀
Yes, I knew you would love the castle! Come over for some tea1
Initially when I clicked on your site,I was like huh!I thought had gone to a different page by mistake.I love new minimalist look! 😀
Thanks — me too!
I like the new look! It's simple/clean and elegant. Best wishes to you
Hey! New look! Totally awesome!
BTW, I need more money to buy all the awesome book coming out!
I totally thought I was in the wrong place! It looks good though ☺
Great new look Jen! I love the castle graphic 🙂
As far as new releases, I just have Uses for Boys coming this week.
YAY! It is SO pretty:)) I just love it, all bright and clean and color coordinated;) Well done, Jen and Lori:)
So, Shades of Earth. I read Across the Universe but wasn't blown away and never read A Million Suns. I liked the sci fi stuff (of course) and liked Elder. Amy was ok, but I didn't feel much of a vibe for Elder and Amy together. Now that you have completed the series, what do you think? Is it worth me picking up the next two books and trying again?
the new web page is so pretty! this jan i'm excited for everbound, boundless and level 2 .
The blog looks great, Jen! Lori did a good job. I really want to change mine up. And I'm so curious about Level 2.
Ooooooohhhhhhhhh love the new design! For a second I was wondering where the heck I was. lol Love the fairytale castle! I really enjoyed Level 2 and Uses For Boys and I am soooooooo excited for Shades of Earth!!!!!
Your new design totally rocks! It's so simple, but I love the clean look. 🙂 I'm so happy you didn't go overboard with designing your blog!
And I'm really excited to read Level Two and Life before Legend!
I love your new looks SO SO SO much!
There are some awesome titles releasing this week!! I love the new design too – very sleek and simple. 🙂
I am number one at the library for Vortex! I cannot wait to pick it up this week. I recently finished the audiobook for Tempest (thanks Jen!) and it was so good.
BTW–love the new look. Beautiful design.
