The winner of last month's prize, which was a signed copy of Across the Universe
by Beth Revis is....Michelle
I've linked to her blogger profile, but there is no email address listed. Her comment was on the post on the ASK HTMiLy post on how to create social networking icons. If you are Michelle, email me with your mailing deets so I can get you your book. If I don't hear from you within 48 hours, I'll have to pick someone else.
Now, for this month's prize, we are going to do two books. Because I honestly couldn't choose between them. And they are awesome.
First is Shades of Gray
by Ruta Sepetys. I picked this one because it is simply a story that must be told. If you don't know about the labor camps and mass deportations done during Stalin's rule, you have to read this book. It is haunting, beautiful, and so very sad.Second is Wither
by Lauren Destefano. This one is a great new dystopian that brings up polygamy, genetic modification, and passion for life. It's wonderfully written, and I can't wait to read the rest of the series.Both of these books are going to be my ARC copies. However, they are in fantastic condition. I know that my copy of Wither wasn't even cracked open because I read the e-book from Galley Grab.
Now, for the fine print:
Each month I will pick a random commenter from one of the posts within the last month to win a featured book. Each thoughtful comment you leave on a post during the month will count as a contest entry. However, the following types of comments will NOT be eligible:
- Great post! I'll definitely add it to my TBR pile.
- Hey! I'm your newest follower, would you check out my blog and follow me back?
- Love your site (although I do appreciate the sentiments)
- Generic, one or two word comments.
Only comments on posts from the current month will be eligible. Sorry, you can't comment on every post from the last 2 years. Well, actually, you can, but it won't be a contest entry.
All of these contests are open internationally unless I specify otherwise. So, comment away!
Please make sure that when you comment, that I have an email address or something that lets me identify who you are. Anonymous comments will not be eligible, obviously. But, if you have a blogger account linked or your website, make sure your contact information is either in your blogger profile or on your blog. If I can't get a hold of you, I'll pick another comment.
