Christmas in July Giveaway Hop 2018 (INT)

I haven't participated in many giveaways lately, so decided to jump into one for the 2nd half of the year.  Since the theme of this is Christmas in July, I'm going to treat the prize like my family treats Christmas.  We give each other lists of ideas.  So I'm going to ask for your first entry in the rafflecopter below that you leave a comment on this post with three books you'd be interested in winning.  They need to be less than $15 each, and available from The Book Depository.  I am going to ship from there, because there is free worldwide shipping.  Then once I pick the winner, I'll get all their mailing info, and surprise them with one of their three choices.  Sound fun?  Well, you can enter below!  Once you've finished my giveaway entries, then you should hop along to the other sites in the Linky below that for more fun prizes!

Review: Pure (Covenant #2) by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Book info:
Title:  Pure  
Author:  Jennifer L. Armentrout
Series:  Covenant #2
Genre:  YA Paranormal Romance
Published:  April 3rd, 2012
Source:  purchased myself

Once again, Armentrout has blown me away.  And I'm beginning to fall in love with Seth, and fall out of love with Aiden for sure.  Yes, I know that Aiden is a pure-blood, and so a romance between him and Alexandria is not allowed. But, the way Aiden goes about pushing her away, even if it is for his own good, well, it's worse than what Edward did to Bella in Twilight, at least to me it was.  It was bad enough that it is definitely pushing me to Seth.  If you haven't read the first book, Half-Blood, yet, then you should go read that review HERE, and not read on if you don't want any spoilers for the first book.   

At the end of the last book we are left with Alexandria trying to come back from the daimon attacks.  Her training is doubled with both Seth and Aiden training her.  Things get worse with more attacks, leaving the half-bloods as suspects, so much that the Pures begin demanding they get mandatory physicals and are basically on house arrest.  One night when Alex and her friends try to just hang out and watch movies in one of their dorms, when two of them decide to sneak to the cafeteria for snacks to eat during the movie, they are attacked.  And only Alex makes it out alive.  Now people are blaming her even more.  And not only that, because it was her mother that attacked before, she is now being forced to go in front of the Council to prove that she is not to blame, and should be allowed to continue in her path, especially now that they know she is an Apollyon as well.  But the council, or specific members that is, don't seem to want to give her a chance.  While at the council meetings, Alex gets to see what happens to a pure and a half-blood who have been together.  And there are other dangerous things going on, even where you would think it would be the most safe.  Someone has compelled other pures, something that is illegal.  And this is something that puts Alex in danger.  

Seth, he just really grows on you.  When we learn that the connection between him and Alex is what causes Alex to have the hot flashes she is having, and oh is that a funny and awkward thing, it is even more interesting to see their connection.  Alex will have to choose, and with Aiden being the way he is, even knowing it is what is best, she must decide if she should give Seth a chance.  A chance for the two of them not only to work together as Apollyons, but to also maybe be more than that.

Now, unfortunately, this time I don't have the next book yet to jump into.  I have the 5th book, and then I have the Titans series two books that I just won from the author.  But books three and four I had to order.  And so, I ordered the white covers!  I don't care if they all match perfectly, I like the white covers also, so I'm glad to get those from the Book Depository, hopefully sooner rather than later!

Only about two months now till NOLA Story Con when I will get to meet Jennifer L. Armentrout and try not to embarrass myself being a totally nerdy, geeky fangirl!

Banned Books Week Giveaway Hop 2015

Thanks to Mary at Bookhounds and Kathy at I Am a Reader for hosting this blog hop.  So as a librarian, my job isn't to censor what my students read.  Yes I purchase things that I think are appropriate for my students, but other than that, they are allowed to check out anything that we have.  I believe it is a parent's job to talk to their kids about things, and hope that their children make good decisions.  I have picked 9 books from the lists on this ALA page for you to pick from (costs up to $11).  My giveaway is International as long as The Book Depository delivers to your country.  Here are the books you can choose from:

Or any of the 7 books in the series	Or any of the 5 books in the series	Or any of the 3 books in the series
Or any of the 3 books in the series
		Or Animal Farm by the same author

September is for Sequels Giveaway Hop

Here we go, another September, another Sequels Challenge and Giveaway Hop!  You can click on the link in the sentence before if you want to join into the challenge. It's really simple, and there is even a prize associated with that for people who participate.  This hop started because of the challenge that I started 4 years ago.  The goal is to catch up on those sequels that often get set on the TBR pile due to all the new books for review that bloggers get to read.  My goal was to try to get as many of those read in September as possible.  So along with that theme, this is a giveaway where you can win a sequel in any series you want from The Book Depository, and it is international as long as they deliver to your country.  Because this is a sequels hop, you cannot pick the first book in a series, but any one from the 2nd on to whatever number that series is on now!  It does need to stay below $20 though.

Once you've entered my Rafflecopter below, be sure to hop on along to the other blogs in the link-up below to see what other awesome prizes are available.

Giveaway: Romance is in the Air Blog Hop 2015

I think this is my 3rd or 4th year participating in this and it is one that I enjoy picking out my favorite romance books. I have set my own plan for February of reading romance type books in between the review books I have scheduled to read.  This is sponsored by Kathy at I Am a Reader.  This Hop features Young Adult and Clean Adult Romance only.  This year I'm picking 12 books that I think of romance when I think about them.  They are also books that I think are underappreciated and need some more love in some cases. All except one are YA, and the one that is not YA is a fun memoir about romance.  Whoever wins will choose one of the books, and this is open internationally as long as The Book Depository ships to your country.  Here are your choices of books:

Stacking the Shelves August 9th, 2014

Stacking the Shelves is hosted by Tynga's Reviews.  It is a way for us to share the new books we have collected. I'm going to be out of town tomorrow, going to my great-aunt's 90th birthday party in Brazilton, Kansas.  So, I wanted to just do this today so I would I have time to go check out other Stacking the Shelves posts after I'm done with mine.  Also, I'm going to include some links at the bottom of this post to my 5th Blogoversary giveaway, which I posted earlier today, as well as links to my September is for Sequels Challenge.  Here are the things I added this week.


Books purchased:

When I was doing some cleaning after being done with my recovery from surgery, I found a gift card that I had meant to give away, but had ended up just doing an email gift card instead when I had that giveaway.  So I figured I'd go spend it myself.  And I got this 4th book in the Beautiful Creatures series, and hope to get it read as part of my September is for Sequels Challenge.

Nook Books purchased for under $1.99:

-->
These are parts of series, novellas, that I will probably read during my November is for Novellas Challenge this year.

YA Book Exchange:

 

I was very excited to see this up for trade because it was one book that I was very, very sad about not getting at BEA this summer.  Now I have it, and it is a September release, so I'll be reading it sometime this month hopefull!  I didn't realize how thick of a book it was!  But yay!

Received in mail from?:

 

 

I apologize to whoever I got this from.  I seem to remember winning it from a giveaway, but I didn't save the email I guess that said I'd won it.  But it came in the mail this past week from The Book Depository, looks like the one in England, so that should help me remember, but I can't.  And I feel so bad!  But it was an awesome surprise!  

I also got a ton of stuff to giveaway in my blogoversary, and I know a few authors who are still sending some things.  So please, if you haven't already, click the button below and go enter my giveaway. The first entry is free!  No hoops to jump through other than clicking a button!

And if you're interested in either joining my September is for Sequels challenge to clear your TBR shelves, or want to join the Giveaway hop associated with the Sequel Challenge, you can sign up for that as well, I've put all the buttons below to be clicked on.
