HARPER COLLINS NEWLY RELEASED MIDDLE GRADE BOOK GIVEAWAY

Happy Wednesday Everyone! Today I've got a treat for you. I love Harper Collins. They always publish so many MG and YA books I want to read. And they are so generous to our blog and me. They've pre-approved me for reading ARCs on Edelweiss, which I so appreciate. I always make sure to share the fantastic YA books I've ready in my big Blog Hop giveaways that I do every month.

Harper Collins recently sent me a number of fantastic looking middle grade novels that recently came out that I know you or the middle grade kids in your lives will enjoy. I don't have time to read and review them, but want to pass them on to you to enjoy. Click on the title for a description from Goodreads:

 


 


To enter, all you need to do is be a follower (just click the follow button if you’re not a follower) and leave a comment through October 25th telling me your two top choices. I’ll announce the winner on October 27th. If your e-mail is not on your Google Profile, please leave it in the comments.

If you mention this contest on Twitter, Facebook, or your blog, mention this in the comments and I'll give you an extra entry. You must be 13 or older to enter. This is for US and Canada only. And I'll only pick one winner from Canada at most due to postage costs.

Here’s what’s coming up:

On Monday I have a guest post by another long time follower and debut author Kim Van Sickler and a giveaway of her YA contemporary SNACHED IN GULLYBROOK.

Next Tuesday I’m participating in the Spooktacular Book Giveaway Blog Hop. I’ll have lots of great choices for you or an Amazon Gift Card if you don’t like what I picked.

And the next Monday, I’ve got a huge celebration giveaway because we’ve reached over 4000 GFC followers. They'll be a huge giveaway of both MG and YA books and a grand prize Amazon Gift Card. Hope you'll stop by to help celebrate!

Wednesday that week I'll be hosting a giveaway of the entire YA urban fantasy Heir Chronicles series by  Cinda Williams Chima, one of my all time favorite authors. So excited about this!

The following Monday I'll be thrilled to share an interview with debut author Martina Boone who so many of us know with a giveaway of her fantastic YA Gothic romance COMPULSION. You'll love the small town Southern setting and the characters who are all so unique.

And don’t forget Casey’s Thursday Agent Spotlights.

Hope to see you on Monday!

Fun! I didn't know Lynne Rae Perkins had a new book out, or Caroline Carlson. Actually, I think I won her first pirate book here - my daughter really enjoyed it.
