I absolutely loved my last giveaway hop. I asked blog readers to share
with me their most recent favorite reads in the comments and I added a
ton of books to my Goodreads list, it was awesome. So thank you for all
of your favorites.
For this giveaway I am thrilled to offer my last signed copy of Brodi Aston's Everneath. This is by far my favorite debut author book of 2012. Everneath is an amazing read, plus Brodi is just plain awesome, hilarious, and nice. I worked really hard to get this book signed since I got it at her book release party and I was crazy crowded. (For my pictures from that night go HERE. See if you can spot authors Sara Zarr, Emily Wing Smith, and Bree Despain in the photos.)

I got to meet Brandon Mull (among others), author of the Fablehaven and Beyonders series, at an event last year. He was gracious enough to stay until he'd met all his fans, which ended up being well after midnight. He was awesome. Those signed books are among my treasured possessions!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway!
Lovely giveaway. :)
ReplyDeleteI like the pictures from the book release. They're very classy, and make me really wish I lived in a city with/near release parties.

ReplyDeleteI would love to meet Richelle Mead because I love her Vampire Academy and Bloodlines series. Thanks so much for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI met Meg Cabot once not long after I graduated High School. I had wanted to meet her for years because her series the Princess Diaries got me thru middle school and high school. Princess Mia was like me awkward with my height and horrible at math in any form. It was great to see her and have her sign my books and take a picture with me. It was my first time meeting one of favorite authors, I will never forget.
ReplyDeleteI got to meet Beth Revis, Kiersten White, Megan Miranda, and Stephanie Perkins at a young adult author panel in May. It was so amazing, originally I went because of Kiersten White's Paranormalcy trilogy but then discovered all of these other great authors.
ReplyDeleteI know she has passed away, but I would have loved to meet Louise Fitzhugh. Harriet the Spy was the first book that I fell in love with as a child and it is what started my interest in reading.
ReplyDeleteI recently met Cassandra Clare and George R.R. Martin. Cassandra Clare is super nice!
ReplyDeleteI'd really like to meet Gina Damico, the author of Croak (another 2012 debut). I follow her blog and her dark humor cracks me up! I think she'd be a blast to meet!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great giveaway!
