Back to the Books Giveaway Hop!

*GIVEAWAY IS OVER*

It's that time! My FIRST EVER giveaway combined with my FIRST EVER Hop! I am so excited, you have no idea. The Back to the Books Giveaway Hop is hosted by I Am A Reader, Not A Writer and Buried In Books and will be running from September 1-7. I am so excited to be a part of this Hop and I hope everyone has a blast!

So I have a few options for ya'll. The first two are the FIRST books in a series.

One is from a series I absolutely love. I love spreading the love of books I, well, love. So yes, book option 1 is a paperback copy of City of Bones (The Mortal Instruments book 1) by Cassandra Clare! If you'd like some paranormal romance, action, drama and pure awesomeness, pick this one!

Book option 2 is one that I've heard amazing things about, but have yet to read: a paperback of Uglies (Uglies book 1) by Scott Westerfeld. If dystopias are your thing (I know I love them), this might just be the one for you... besides, I'd love to fall in love with a new series with ya!

Options 3 and 4 are the LAST books in a series. Now I know this sounds like a weird idea, but I wanted to do this to maybe entice someone to read the series. I mean, I know when I get a last/middle book, I like to check out the previous ones. These last two options are books I quite enjoyed, so I hope someone else will like it too.

Anyway... book option 3 is from a splendidly ridiculous and absolutely hilarious series: a paperback of Are These My Basoomas I See Before Me? (Confessions of Georgia Nicolson book 10) by Louise Rennison. If you're looking for a quick, goofy getaway series, this is definitely one to choose. I'm laughing just thinking about it!

And last but not least, the 4th book option is a hardcover of Blessed (Tantalize book 3) by Cynthia Leitich Smith. If you think you might enjoy a vampire/angel/were-creature novel full of interesting mythology and mysteries, check this one out!

Now for the rules/directions... dun Dun DUN! Okay, but seriously. Since I'm new to this whole hosting-a-giveaway thing, I'm going to make it super easy for you to win 1 of these 4 books. All you have to do is leave a comment with your email address. That's it! For an extra entry, you can tweet about my giveaway and add the tweet link thingie in the comment along with your email. Pretty simple, isn't it? I will not require you to be a follower, but it is definitely appreciated. Just a little note, if I get enough followers, I might just draw another name/do another giveaway... just so's ya know. (Remember, this is a US only giveaway. However, if you have a US address, that works too. Must be 13 or older to enter. Contest ends on September 7th and I'll draw a name on or around the 8th.) Good luck!

Thanks for stopping by and happy reading!

***Giveaway Closed***

Win!

I am ridiculously excited. I mean it. I won the Blessed Grand Prize Giveaway from author Cynthia Leitich Smith! Woo hoo! Wanna see what I won? Well tough! I'm going to show you anyway.

Pretty impressive, no?

This giveaway offer was for the release of Blessed, which brings together the cast and characters from her other hit novels, Tantalize and Eternal. Actually, today was the release date of Blessed, making this the perfect time to post this announcement! Go me! Anyway... Not only am I super happy to win this awesome prize pack, I'm really excited to read the book.

Are you curious about it too? You're in luck, then! For your reading (and viewing) pleasure, I present a little information about Blessed...

"Quincie Morris, teen restaurateur and neophyte vampire, is in the fight of her life - or undeath. Even as she adjusts to her new appetites, she must clear her best friend and true love - the hybrid-werewolf Kieren - of murder charges; thwart the apocalyptic ambitions of Bradley Sanguini, the seductive vampire-chef who “blessed” her; and keep her dead parents’ restaurant up and running.
She hires a more homespun chef and adds the preternaturally beautiful Zachary to her wait staff. But with hundreds of new vampires on the rise and Bradley off assuming the powers of Dracula Prime, Zachary soon reveals his true nature - and his flaming sword - and they hit the road to staunch the bloodshed before it’s too late. Even if they save the world, will there be time left to salvage Quincie’s soul?" (got this from Cynthia's website, just so's ya know)

 And now for a book trailer to draw you in further!

Pretty epic music, isn't it? I hope you're now as curious about this book as I am. Will I update this lovely blog when I receive (and read) my super awesome gift? Heck yes, I will! Don't forget to purchase a copy of Blessed, now in stores!
