Thanks to Dystopian February, my sources were pretty balanced this time around. I'm pleased to be getting a lot of my bought books read!
Where are your books coming from these days?

It's always so nice to be reading your own books, isn't it? Slightly more than a third of my reads for the year have been review copies. I'm trying to swing the balance a little more in favor of my own books.
What a wonderful collection of books! It is wonderful receiving books in the mail. After seeing your list, I think I'd like to make a trip to the Frankfurt Book Fair!
I want to read Inside Out, The Line, Birthmarked and Incarceron so badly!
You are extremely well-balanced! I've been really picky about review copies lately. So many of them arrive and sit forever on the shelves which give me a big guilt complex. I'd say about half of my books (audios) come from the library. The others are evenly split between review copies, ones that were bought, and ones that were won or given to me.
Books in the mail are great! I also like picking up books at the library!
Great additions to your collection! I understand the balancing of books.
It is so interesting to see where the books come from. Thanks for sharing!
I just got Obernewtyn, and it was as a result of your review. :)
I haven't done this in a few months -- I should take a look see.
