6 Month Blogoversary Giveaway!

Well, my friends, it's been six months! Six amazing months of blogging, reading, and of course, meeting and befriending many amazing blogging friends and authors whose friendships I will always cherish. When I first starting this blog, I just did it to test out what having a book blog would be like, after reading many book blogs prior to the creation of this blog for months. At first it was a bit overwhelming, but then when I received my first comment, I remember how happy I was. That was my motivation enough to keep blogging. The fact that my blog now has over 200 followers is just so amazing, and I know I've said this many times before, but I really cannot express my gratitude enough. So, to my followers, readers, and the amazing friends I made when blogging, thank you. For everything throughout the past six months. Now, to celebrate this six month milestone, I'm going to host three different giveaways. Each giveaway will comprise of five books, an assortment of both ARCs and published novels, depending on the theme of the giveaway. What themes, you ask? Well, each giveaway has its own theme, but each theme is kind of a surprise. Well, it will be a surprise for about fifteen more seconds, because all of the themes are below, and if you're an inquiring mind you'll probably check the themes out when you finish reading this sentence, like I would. One winner will be chosen for each giveaway, and you may enter all three giveaways if you'd like (but you may not win more than one giveaway). Good luck! (Note: If there is a star next to a book's title, that means that the book is published after this giveaway ends, and I do not have any ARCs to give away, therefore a copy of that book will be pre-ordered to you via The Book Depository.)

Giveaway #2

Highly Anticipated Books of 2013

Now this one was extremely difficult for me to choose books for as well, because 2013 is a pretty amazing year for YA, wouldn't you say? However, I somehow managed to narrow down the many amazing books of 2013 into a list of five, comprised of... (once again, in no particular order)

Giveaway #3

Theme: Favorite Covers of 2012

Argh! Another tough decision! We all know there have been lots of gorgeous covers in the YA genre this year, which is why it was difficult for me to choose some of my favorite covers of 2012, while avoiding duplicating books already used for my 6 Month Blogoversary Giveaway so far. But, after going through my shelf on Goodreads dedicated to covers I love, I broke this giveaway down to... (in no particular order, again)

   

Crewel by Gennifer Albin

Lucid by Adrienne Stoltz and Ron Bass
