Hey guys!
First off, thanks tons to everyone who vote on my poll! Over a hundred votes
I'm not sure what I expected, but the numbers were high for each category (I've left the poll up for you to see the results!)... soooo... August will be full of all three types of contests.
Starting at the basics, during this month you can expect at least two single book contests for these titles:
Ash by Malinda Lo (signed ARC)
Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater (ARC)
I have also conjured up two or three prize packs, which two I have figured out so far:
Another Faust + poster
Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick + angel necklace
So, onto the COMMENT CONTEST!
I really want to hold this contest for a few different reasons.
- I'm moving in November and need to get rid of some of my books!
- I have over 100 books from ALA that I need to READ
- Basically, I need to read a lot before my new job starts at the end of the month...
- 1 comment = 1 entry
- Every comment counts EXCEPT on other contests I'll be running this month.
- No more than two comments per post.
- Comments should be more than just two or three words. Sentences are nice. :)
- Comments start with this post!
- You get +5 for spreading the word about this contest on your blog/twitter/etc. (leave me a link with your comment) No link = no extra points. I'd prefer you to post the links in the comments section of this post. Thanks.
- Open to EVERYONE!
- Ends Monday, August 31st at midnight CST.
Now, what are you going to win? I know, I'm holding you in suspense.
Since I'm not sure how many books I will finish (that aren't already planned contest items), I'm breaking it down like this. There will be 3 winners no matter what.
If I read 10 books:
1st place winner gets 5 books
2nd place winner gets 3 books
3rd place winner gets 1 book
If I read at least 15 books:
1st place winner gets 7 books
2nd place winner gets 4 books
3rd place winner gets 2 books
If I read at least 20 books:
1st place winner gets 10 books
2nd place winner gets 5 books
3rd place winner gets 3 books
Now, every time I post a review, I will let you know if that book is in for the contest or not (I do have one or two library books I may be reading).
But, here is a potential list of books in the pot for the contest:
T'Aragam (signed) - already read and reviewed HERE
How to Say Goodbye in Robot (ARC)
Crash Into Me (ARC)
Hazel (ARC)
Candor (ARC)
Violet Wings (ARC)

There's a lot more too that I have here waiting to be read - but those are the ones I think you guys would be most interested in.
So, leave me a comment, get an entry. If you want, beg me to read a few of these in your comment on this post. Or, you could bug me on twitter too (bookgoil). I like getting bugged. :)
