It is time for a book giveaway. Yay! For the last Book Giveaway Carnival, back in November, I had so much fun visiting new blogs and getting a chance to win some great books. I also gave away four books here and got a great number of book recommendations (see list) in return.
I love getting recommendations so I am going to ask for you all to do it again.
The prizes:
The Disappearance by Efrem Sigel (paperback, ARC)
ttyl by Lauren Myracle (paperback)
Both have been gently read and recently reviewed. Click on the covers if interested in seeing my reviews.
The deal: Just leave me a comment and let me know your favorite book so far this year. Also, let me know which book(s) you are interested in. Two books, two chances to win!
The timeline: You have until midnight (CST) on Friday, March 6th to enter. I will announce the winners that weekend. I will be randomly picking two winners from the comments. I will not be sending out an email notification so be sure to comeback and see if you are a winner or subscribe. :)
This giveaway is open internationally.
** Contest is closed. Go here to see the winners. Thank you all for entering.
Hi Mari, just a question - is it open worldwide?
ReplyDeleteYes, it is! I guess I should put that on there shouldn't I. :)
ReplyDeleteHooray! I'd love to be entered for the Lauren Myracle book then. My top recommendations of this year are The Love We Share Without Knowing by Christopher Barzak (a lovely novel in stories set in Japan), Paper Towns by John Green (it's John Green!), and Tender Morsels by Margo Lanagan (brutal but also beautiful).
ReplyDeleteMy favorite book of the year (so far) is Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher - it was such an amazing book!
ReplyDeleteI would love to be entered for The Disappearance!
Thanks :)

ReplyDeleteI have read soo many good books this year, it is too hard to choose just one. Envy by Anna Godbersen is the most recent. Model Spy and Down to the Wire by Shannon Greenland were also very good. And for a book that made me laugh, I gotta go with My Fair Godmother by Janette Rallison.

I'm just starting to learn what types of books you are into but I just finished A Child's Journey Out of Autism by Leeann Whiffen which should be on sale sometime this month. I've read quite a few books about Autism but this is unique. The family actually cures their son's autism which is VERY rare. It was an emotional book but one I enjoyed.
