Armchair BEA Giveaway: What Book Is On Your Wish List?




Giveaway


So I admit I am jealous of all the advanced copies of my wish list books I'm not going to be able to get like the lucky bloggers who where able to make it to BEA. So I decided to give you a chance to win the book that you are so looking forward to reading, even though we have to wait for it to be released. :)

All you have to do is leave a comment either telling me what you are looking forward to reading or even better, your best book recommendation for me from books you've read in the last six months.

One lucky winner will have their choice of any pre-order book currently available from Amazon worth up to $25.00 (US). If possible I will have the book sent to you directly from Amazon on it's release*.

Please read the Rules:
1. Sorry- open to US and Canada (if you are Canadian and win, be aware of the exchange rate)
2. Be sure to leave a way to contact you in your comment.
3. Giveaway ends at 6 A.M. EST on May 28. Winner must respond to my email within 48 hours or another winner will be chosen.
4. You don't have to follow my blog to win. Spreading the word won't give you any more chances but may bring good karma. :)

*if it is not possible to have the book sent directly to you, I will order it and mail it myself

  8. I soooo wanna get my hands on Beauty Queen by Libba Bray. *squeal* it looks awesome.

    And I highly recommend Die for Me by Amy Plum. Even if you don't love paranormal OR young adult, this was is excellent. I especially love it because the character is a strong female lead.

  17. One book to look for in July is Josh Ritter's Bright's Passage. If you like beautiful-but-spare language and a plot that has you guessing from page to page but makes perfect internal sense, then this famous singer-songwriter's fledgling novel is for you.
    Dunno which new book I'd choose yet, but as I Armchair BEA, I'll be sure to pick a few in case I win your contest!
    I too am offering a you-choose give-away today at What She Read & ActionReaders.com. Stop by and enter, if you'd like.

  65. Have you read the book "300 Zeroes" by Dennis Blanchard? It is a humorous tale about one man's walk along the Appalachian Trail. He is set back by having to recover from a major operation. As you might guess, he survives! He describes a cast of rugged characters he encounters along the way. Having read it, I can't decide if I no longer feel the need to walk the trail or if I should plan my own trip. Lots of fun.
