You Know:

You know when you're blog is dead when out of your 391 followers,  only 4 have entered to win a free, signed copy of Ally Carter's 3rd Gallagher Girl book, Don't Judge a Girl By Her Cover.

Giveaway ends November 22, 2013. Find the post, enter to win.

11/4 Edit: Yeah so I realize that seems kind of whinny. What I wrote. But I would just like to say that the last time we gave away an Ally Carter book, we had 103 entries. Before that we gave away Terrier by Tamora Pierce and that had 151 entries.

But now we're at 12 last time I checked! Woohoo! Except I guess now you're chances to win have been lowered. Whoops. 

An Awesome Wings of the Wicked Giveaway

In case you were unawares, Courtney Allison Moulton, author of Angelfire, has posted an AMAZING giveaway for 3 ARCs of Wings of the Wicked (the sequel to Angelfire) and you can win some other awesome books such as Divergent, Starcrossed, Illusions, Vampire Kisses, and some awesome swag! (THERE'S A CADAN BOOKMARK. BE EXCITED). 


Wings of the Wicked doesn't come out till WINTER 2012. Which is a long long long time from now.  So if you want to win an ARC and get on the goods first, go enter! Look at THIS post for the original rules, trailer, and summary, but you can't comment on it, you have to comment on part 2 (the one I posted up up up there) because people are commenting like crazy! Last time I checked there were more than 9000 comments in total lol. 


Courtney is also posting delicious teasers from Wings of the Wicked as there are more and more comments!  Here's one of my favorites ;) Featuring my love, Cadan, who I am told appears fairly often in this book, which only makes me MORE excited for it!


“Speaking of romance,” he started. “Are you going to tell me about this book you were so engrossed in that you barely even noticed me?”

I gave him a sidelong glance. “You really want to know?”

“I’d like to understand what captivates you,” he said. “So that I might aspire to do the same.”

“Would you like a little wine to go with all that cheese?” I asked.

“Would you like me better if I were gloomy and morose?” He narrowed his eyes teasingly.

“You’d kind of suck if you were either of those.”

He leaned back and lazily put his elbows up on the back of his chair. “Then what is the appeal of your Guardian? He is quite definitely gloomy and morose.”

I’d let Cadan have one point. “Don’t you think morose is a little severe?”

“You must agree that he is rather moody and glum.”

“He’s not glum.”

His grin widened. “So you admit that he’s gloomy and moody.”

“I never said that.”

“But you don’t deny it.”

I exhaled in annoyance. “You’re obnoxious.”

“But at least I’m not morose.”

“Will isn’t morose.”

“Tell me about the book you reading.”

I blinked in surprise. Was he serious? He sat beaming with self-satisfaction. Playing games with my head was apparently hilarious. He was insufferable.

Goodreads Giveaways

So, for those of you who have goodreads accounts let me fill you in on something you may or may not already know:

Goodreads is constantly in book giveaway!

yup! you can win anything from ARCs (advanced readers copies) to currently out but signed copies of books.

you can post giveaways as well!

so if you have, go! go my little blog readers and enter those contests:

http://www.goodreads.com/giveaway

not only is this for US residents, but a lot of giveaways also include international shipping! Just make sure you see your country's initials next to countries available.

Now, for those of you who don't have Goodreads, I really think you should! It's a great site, where not only can you keep track of the books you've read, wanted to read, and are currently reading but you also get a chance to connect with other users who have the same book interests. There's always something to do on Goodreads if you look for it. From trivia, to voting, to simple Q&A with authors, Goodreads is the place to go for books.

On a separate note:

You may have noticed, those of you who have followed or simple passed by since the beginning, that our blog looks different.

Why, it actually looks like a blog! It has widgets, a nice background and not to mention a more noticeable follow button.

Well this is all thanks to my newest member, April.

She has come to revive this blog with me! April has come in taught me the was of technology.

She's a genius! And I love her sooo much for it!

So this is the shout out to her.

And if anyone ever feels like they want to come and be apart of this blog family, like a reviewer for anything, sent me a message and we'll talk.
