So, guess what? Next Saturday -- February 16th -- is my birthday, and I'll be turning *gasp!* 31. :)
In celebration of that, and the fact that one of the most exciting things I'm doing is going to Chapters with Jay, I've decided to do a birthday giveaway where you'll have a chance to win some new books, too. Read on for all the details!
What's Up For Grabs?:
I normally do giveaways where one winner gets one book, but this time my winner is going to get TWO books from me--one from my Wish List or Recommended List, and one that is a surprise from a list of fthree you guys are going to leave me in the comments. Just so we're clear:
Birthday Wishes Prize Pack:
-- ONE book from my Recommended OR Wished For lists (below).
-- ONE book of the winner's choice, from the list of 3 books I'll have you leaving in the comments. (I want it to be something you WANT, but I also want it to be a SURPRISE.)
In short: someone's about to get two books sent to them from me via The Book Depository.
My Lists:

* If I have listed an author or series, I am equally happy to send you any book in that series or by that author. I realize different people are at different points in stuff like that.
* If a book has a sequel releasing in the near future, or has not been released yet, I am totally happy to do a pre-order for you.
With 27 different things shown here, *most* of which are from different series, I hope I've included something to suit every taste.
How To Enter:
To actually enter my giveaway, all you need to do is leave a comment with your e-mail and the list of three books I would be choosing between if you win. (You can change these if I e-mail you as the winner, since this contest is running long and I realize you may already have them.) This is worth +1 entries.
Bonus Entries:
+1: Tell me which of my wishlist books YOU think should be at the top of my list.
+1 Tweet about the giveaway. (Make sure to link your tweet url. This is a One Time Entry.)
+1 Follow my blog via GFC
+1 Follow me ( @ Katallina ) via Twitter.
+1 Comment on one of my reviews. (Tell me which you commented on.)
+2 Comment on Shopaholic Sunday Birthday Edition #1 (This will go up on February 17th.)
+2 Comment on Shopaholic Sunday Birthday Edition #2 (This will go up on February 24th.)
Note: I'm sorry if those last two are annoying, but I'm excited about them. One will be gifts from my family purchased via Amazon.ca and the other will have Jay as a guest since we'll record it during his visit. So dropping by, especially for that, will mean a lot.)
TOTAL ENTRIES: 10
Technical Stuff:
This giveaway will end on March 4th at 12:01 A.M. EST.
This giveaway is open to all, provided The Book Depository will ship to you.
The winner will have 72 hours to respond to the e-mail I send them. If they do not respond, a new winner will be selected.
Thanks for taking the time to check out my Super Awesome Birthday Giveaway. Good luck everybody!
The 3 books are: Legend by Marie Lu, Scarlet by Marissa Meyer or Clockwork Prince by Cassandra Clare :)

I have a confession: I can’t remember whether I wished you happy birthday on Facebook or not. I meant to…I clicked on your name, but I can’t for the life of me remember if I actually did it. These pain meds are seriously messing with my brain. So if I didn’t, please forgive me (you can slap my wrist for being a bad friend lol), and please accept my belated birthday wishes!
ReplyDeleteMy wishlist choices:
Starling by Lesley Livingston
Something Like Normal by Trish Doller
Grave Mercy by Robin Lefevers
+1: Tell me which of my wishlist books YOU think should be at the top of my list.
If I could order you to read a book RIGHT NOW it would be Through the Ever Night…or My Life Next Door. They were both incredible.
