Gratitude Giveaways Hop 2014

First, thanks to I Am a Reader, Not a Writer for hosting this giveaway.  Secondly, thanks to all my followers.  I love when you stop by and comment on my reviews, or tag me in some of the fun memes that have been jumping around the blogosphere.  I also am thankful when you leave me links to go see what you're doing on your blog.  I try to get around when I can and check things out, but often I only have time to go to like 10 or so blogs, and I follow a lot more than that.  So please, leave me a link in your comments when you want me to visit.  I'm also very grateful to all the cool authors and publishers who have let me have access to things like advanced readers copies, or early cover reveals. 

Unfortunately I am not going to open this up internationally this time because I am offering a box of mystery books.  The box is going to contain probably about 5-6 books.  One or two may be finished copies, but for the most they will be ARCs.  Most are YA ARCs, but there might be 1 or 2 that are not.  At least 1 of them will be a 2014 ARC, but some may be earlier than that.  So it is just a box full of surprises!  And since we can only have one thing for you to do to enter, I've decided I'd like some comment love on my reviews.  All you have to do is go comment on any review on my blog.  And it needs to be a meaningful comment.  More than just, "Great review".  Tell me something about my review you liked, or if you've read the book, what did you think of it?  Then come and tell me what review you posted on and what name you used to comment with.  That's it.  When you're done with that, hop around to the other blogs listed in the linky below the Rafflecopter for more great giveaways.

Waiting on Wednesday: Savage Drift (Monument 14 #3) by Emmy Laybourne

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine where we spotlight upcoming releases that we're eagerly awaiting. I haven't participated in this since last month, just haven't been quite sure which book to pick, or I was waiting for a cover to be released, or I had other things to post.  But here is a book that I just read some e-novellas from the series as part of my November is for Novellas Challenge.  If you haven't read the Monument 14 series yet, you need to get started!  The third book in the trilogy is supposed to come out next year, in May.  Here is the blurb from Goodreads:

The survivors of the Monument 14 have finally made it to the safety of a Canadian refugee camp. Dean and Alex are cautiously starting to hope that a happy ending might be possible.But for Josie, separated from the group and trapped in a brutal prison camp for exposed Type Os, things have gone from bad to worse. Traumatized by her experiences, she has given up all hope of rescue or safety.Meanwhile, scared by the government's unusual interest in her pregnancy, Astrid (with her two protectors, Dean and Jake in tow) joins Niko on his desperate quest to be reunited with his lost love Josie.

What do you think?  Sounds good, right?  What book are you eagerly awaiting this week?

While you're here, don't forget to stop by my spot on the Gratitude Giveaway Hop.

And if you think you'll read at least 4 novellas this month, there is still time to join into my November is for Novellas Challenge, which comes with a giveaway for participants as well!
