Blogiversary Giveaway

Two weeks ago my blog celebrated its first birthday. This is pretty significant for a few reasons but mostly because I wasn't sure I had enough to say to sustain a blog long term. Turns out it's been an incredible journey. I finished a manuscript for the first time, I read amazing books and I talked about my writing journey among other things. I love YA and MG and I love being able to share my adventures with you. A little over a year and 3300 pages views later, here I am still blogging :)

Since I grossly underestimated my own abilities (and this is definitely a good thing) I'm giving back to all of you with this most awesome giveaway in two parts with two rafflecopters, so make sure you check out both if you qualify.


Part One: The International Giveaway
I have some really awesome prizes that some of you are going to win, including:

1 Signed ARC of Venom by Fiona Paul

Awesome Author Swag:
  • The Selection Bookmarks (Kiera Cass)
  • Signed Venom Bookmarks (Fiona Paul)
  • Signed Elemental Bookmarks (Antony John)
  • Signed Slide Bookmarks (Jill Hathaway)
  • Signed Soulbound Posters (Heather Brewer)
Note: is I start getting a lot of entries I will add to this list. I have up to three signed mystery YA books that I can add. And trust me you want me to add them. If I do, you will automatically be entered for new prizes if you fill out the rafflecopter below. So no extra work for you!
Part Two: The US Giveaway
One lucky person (in the US or with a US mailing address) will win... not one, not two, not three, but FOUR signed YA books by amazing YA authors living in my hometown of St. Louis.

And these awesome books are:
A signed paperback of Katana by Cole Gibsen          A Signed hardback of Elemental by Antony John




















A signed hardback of Venom by Fiona Paul         A signed hardback of Soulbound by Heather Brewer
 




















a Rafflecopter giveaway
 
 A huge thanks to all my loyal followers and a big welcome to all the new visitors and followers. I look forward to chatting with all of you.

    I am currently reading Venom and just love it! The characters, the atmosphere. I am dying to get to Venice!! I have to say one of my favorite book would be Grave Mercy by Robin LaFevers and Crewel by Gennifer Albin

      I too am currently reading venom. I'd love to go to Venice one day. I went to Italy but didn't make it to Venice.

      I keep hearing a lot about Crewel. I will definitely have to check that one out :)

    So I have my top 3 books of the year and I can't make up my mind which one is the best so I am going to list all 3. First is Under the Never Sky by Veronica Rossi, next is Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo and last is Throne of Glass by Sarah J Maas. They were all amazing books and I can't wait for their sequels to come out. I am really looking forward to reading Venom by Fiona Paul. Thanks for the great giveaway!!!

    I really loved Looking for Alaska, by John Green, and Ask the Passengers, by A.S. King. They were amazing reads.

    What book am I most looking froward to? Probably... my friend Jami Montgomery's new novel Otherworldly. I can't wait to dig into that book.
