Contest Craze Giveaway

~ This giveaway is now CLOSED ~

This giveaway is part of Princess Bookie's Contest Craze.

In honor of the impending October 25th release of The Iron Knight, the last book in The Iron Fey saga, I am giving away a copy of the third book, The Iron Queen (see my review). Yes, the one with the very, very pink cover.

Not that there's anything wrong with pink, of course.

So... Who's excited for The Iron Knight? I actually have a galley of it sitting comfortably in my Kindle right now but have yet to actually read it. No idea why I'm putting it off. Perhaps I'm sad to see this fun series come to an end.

Onto the contest. To win The Iron Queen, answer the following question:

You are now one of the fey, delighting in kidnapping the poor humans from their beds and bringing them into the faery realm. If you could kidnap anyone (fictional or otherwise), who would you kidnap, and what would you make them do for/to you?

Sidenote: I would really appreciate it if you could keep your answers PG13. I'm sure you know what I mean by that...

Comment on this post with your answer, and then fill out the Rafflecopter widget below accordingly. There are extra entry opportunities, too! Following via GFC is not required but is highly appreciated.

Some leftover details of the giveaway:

• There will be 1 winner notified via email
• Open to US residents 13 years of age or older only

Back to the Books Giveaway Hop Winners!

309 entries. 309. Can you believe it? That number is mind-boggling, and the fact that it's divisible by 3 is quite amazing, too. I'm sure you're all eager to know who won and have already scrolled down to look at the names by now, so kudos to the people who're still reading this post intro.

So, the lucky winners of Touch of Frost, Fairy Bad Day, The Dark City, Personal Demons, or 2 Twilight posters are the following:

1. Antane Amstrong
2. Erin Baker
3. Christina @ A Reader of Fictions

It's going to work like this: Antane (since she's winner #1) will get to choose 2 books or the posters. Erin will choose second, and Christina will get the last set.

Emails will be arriving at your mailboxes soon.

And hopefully some of my new followers would like to stick around and actually, you know, read my site content in the future. Hopefully...? Regardless, thank you for participating and making this giveaway such a success!

Back to the Books Giveaway Hop

~ This giveaway is now CLOSED ~

This giveaway hop is hosted by I Am A Reader, Not A Writer and Buried in Books. Find the rest of the giveaways at the main hop site page.

Giveaways are really fun to host. Quite weird if you think about it, since I'm the one having to provide the prizes and shipping costs and whatnot. But there is this certain sense of satisfaction I feel after giving away a book that would otherwise have just sat on my bookshelf for the next decade or so.

For this hop, I'm giving away 4 books:

Touch of Frost by Jennifer Estep (review)

Fairy Bad Day by Amanda Ashby (review)

The Dark City by Catherine Fisher (review)

Personal Demons by Lisa Desrochers (review)

I'm also giving away a set of 24" x 36" Twilight movie posters. I will even throw in that tiny Taylor Lautner poster if you want it, too.

Now, if are at least semi-familiar with my reading tastes, you would know that I abhor Twilight (no offense meant to Twihards). However, my history with Twilight is actually quite complicated. I was a tween Twihard back in my impressionable middle school days and have since grown out of my obsession and discovered how stupid Edward the glittery vampire really is. Well, my Twilight posters were purchased during my phase, so now I'm passing it on to others who are still in love with Twilight.

I apologize for the length of that story...

Anyway, onto the details of the giveaway:

• There will be 3 winners
• 2 people will receive 2 books each
• 1 person will receive the 2 posters
• Winners will be notified via email
• Open to US residents 13 years of age or older only

Bloodlines Winner!

First off, happy Bloodlines release day 2!

Thanks to all of you who joined my first giveaway. You have no idea how happy I was that it received almost 40 entries! Although, of course, that must be attributed to the fact that Richelle Mead writes awesome books.

So, without further ado. The winner of Bloodlines, according to Random.org is:

Comment #22. Congrats, Paige! I will email you soon.

ARC Giveaway: Bloodlines by Richelle Mead

~ This giveaway is now CLOSED ~

The first book in Richelle Mead's brand-new teen fiction series - set in the same world as Vampire Academy.

When alchemist Sydney is ordered into hiding to protect the life of Moroi princess Jill Dragomir, the last place she expects to be sent is a human private school in Palm Springs, California. But at their new school, the drama is only just beginning.

Populated with new faces as well as familiar ones, Bloodlines explores all the friendship, romance, battles and betrayals that made the #1 New York Times bestselling Vampire Academy series so addictive - this time in a part-vampire, part-human setting where the stakes are even higher and everyone's out for blood.

In honor of its August 23rd release date, I'm giving away an ARC of Bloodlines (see my review).
