Book Giveaway: Bones of Faerie

[penmage]

It's March 1, which means it's my birthday month! To celebrate, I want to give YOU something. Once a week, for the next four weeks, I am going to be giving away a signed copy of a book I love.

This week, I am giving away a book that was one of my most anticipated titles of 2009--a book that totally lived up to all my expectations and excitement.

Bones of Faerie by Janni Lee Simner



If you've been hanging around here for a while, you've probably heard me rave about this book. I reviewed it over here, but honestly, what's not to love about a Post-Apocalyptic YA Faerie Novel? (You can read Invasive Species, a short story that takes place in the same apocalypse, to give you a taste of what you have to look forward to.) And now you can have your very own copy, signed by the author (the fabulous, talented and wonderful janni!)

So here's how to enter:

1. Comment here. If you don't have an LJ, please leave an email address in your comment so I can contact you if you win.
2. If you link to this giveaway somewhere in a public post or blog entry or message board, comment here with the link and you'll get another entry.
3. Review a teen or middle grade novel published in 2009 in a public post or blog entry (GoodReads, LibraryThing and other book-specific sites don't count!), and comment here with the link, for another entry.

I'll select a winner next Sunday, March 8. This giveaway is open to people with US mailing addresses only, sorry!

Good luck!

Ohh! This is on my must read list, thanks to you! I'd love to win this copy.

Also, what a neat idea! :)

Does it count if I have a US mailing address?

[penmage.livejournal.com]

If I can mail it to the US, you're eligible! I changed the wording to make that more obvious :).

[elissa-carey.livejournal.com]

Count me interested. :)

[creatrix]

Stupid geography rendering me ineligible! ;)

[raelee.livejournal.com]

Ooh fun! I put this on my "To Read" list after you reviewed. Would love to win a copy.

Oh, I would like to sign up! Giving away things for your birthday - very hobbit-like of you. :)

[ladyluna.livejournal.com]

came in to say this, was beat to it. Very hobbitish.

[rosaleendhu.livejournal.com]

Yay hobbit birthdays!

[rosaleendhu.livejournal.com]

Aaaand pimped the giveaway here.

Does this count as a review? It's short, but sweet? Sadly the only YA book I've read and reviewed in 2009 was a disappointment. :(

[penmage.livejournal.com]

I've modified the guidelines to indicate that the review needs to be posted in a blog or LJ to garner an entry--I'm hoping to get the word out about good books, so book-specific sites, where people are reviewing all the time, sort of feels like cheating.

Sorry for not being specific enough!

Happy Birthday month, Nettle! I hope it goes nicely for you.

and please enter me....

[jimhines.livejournal.com]

I've got a U.S. address, and I'd love a copy of this one!

[patesden.livejournal.com]

Oh. I'd really love this book. I just finished reading Kathi Appelt's THE UNDERNEATH (an A+ wonderful middle grade). I'll review it this week and let you know when I've posted the review.

[magicalbookworm.livejournal.com]

Entering contest :D

[christy-lenzi.livejournal.com]

Yes, please!

[shveta-thakrar.livejournal.com]

Ooh, me, me, me, me, me! *grin*

[sharonskinner.livejournal.com]

This is exciting!

[penmage.livejournal.com]

Twittering definitely counts! Extra entry for you! :)

[melissajm.livejournal.com]

I'm interested please!

[tabbyclaw.livejournal.com]

Oh, I can't not try it, not since you made this book sound so delightful and I haven't found a library copy yet.

[alanajoli.livejournal.com]

Oooh, please enter me! Bones of Faerie has been on my TBR list since it came out, and I haven't gotten around to purchasing it yet... :)

[ex-hallways.livejournal.com]

ooh, i've been meaning to pick up this book for ages, but money and constraints have not permitted! enter me, please! :D and despite my user info, i live in the US, rest assured, im just ashamed of WHERE, lol. :D

i'm also going to post a link to this @ my personal writing blog, http://ohkamikaze.net :D

[wyld-dandelyon.livejournal.com]

This one is definitely on my "to read" list. (-:

[robling-t.livejournal.com]

Oh, what the heck, my budget for books has been nil for longer than I remember and I think it's going to be a while yet before my library would have a copy...

[hzilionis.livejournal.com]

I read the short story and can't wait to read the book!

[zhyegoatt.livejournal.com]

I love YA and I love faeries so sign me up please! Does my book review blog count as a book specific site? I'm going to have my review for "Revelations" up soon and just thought I'd check.

[penmage.livejournal.com]

Book blogs are definitely okay! The only sites that don't count are ones that exist only to keep track of your reading, like this ones I mentioned.

[crowley.livejournal.com]

Ooh, count me in! I've heard this one was good.

(not that it'll matter cause I know you're fair and everything, but it's my birthday month too!)

[penmage.livejournal.com]

Happy birthday month to you too, then! Which day is yours?

[denisetwin.livejournal.com]

I have been reading the reviews and am looking forward to reading Bones of Faerie, I hope I win it!
