I read pretty much any chance I get. I mostly read YA books but some adult ones as well. To me all books are precious gems and are meant to be treasured.

  3. I found this at just the right time, my TBR pile is out of control. My birthday is this month so I always stock pile in August too. Oh, I could go on forever about why I need this mini read-a-thon. I'm participating, but I don't need to be entered in the giveaway - I'm lucky enough to have a signed copy of Shiver (thanks to Fountain Bookstore in Richmond). Anyway, thanks for hosting and I'll be interested to see how everyone does. Good Luck!

  10. Great giveaway!! I'm not a big fan of this series (so I'm won't be entering), but I wanted to say congrats!

    I need to have a read-a-thon of my own this week! I'm having something of a reading slump and I need to get through some books badly! I may try to do that the next couple days! We'll see how it goes...

    I think my favorite book of 2011 is between two books that i've read this year. Those are "The Pearl Savage" By Tamara Rose Blodgett and "An Apple For Zoe" By Thomas Amo. They are total opposited of each other. Ones super scary and the other is lovey dovey with some scary parts, but mostly action.

    BTW AWESOME giveaway!! So excited to be entering =D
