MAY I SUGGEST GIVEAWAY HOP



Happy Monday Everyone! Today I'm excited to be participating in the May I Suggest Giveaway Hop hosted by StuckInBooks. I'm especially excited because this blog hop falls on my regular Monday blogging day (because we're encouraged to post a day early). There's a lot of new books that have recently released or will be published soon, and I'm excited to share them with you.

I hope you find a book you like for yourself, a family member, or a friend in the choices offered. Don’t see a book you like? You can win a $10.00 Amazon Gift Card instead. I hope you'll all enter to win a book or gift card for yourself or as a gift for someone.

So here are your choices. I've got a combination of MG and YA and one adult anthology that I'm looking forward to reading. If you want an earlier book in any of these series, you can pick that instead as long as it doesn't cost more than the book here. You can find descriptions of these books on Goodreads.

 



 


 


 

 

 

 


 


 



If you haven't found a book you want, you can win a $10 Amazon Gift Card.


To enter, all you need to do is be a follower anyway you want and leave a comment through May 15th telling me the book you want to win or if you want to win the Gift Card instead. If your e-mail is not on your Google Profile, you must leave it in the comments to enter the contest.

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. International entries are welcome as long as The Book Depository ships to you for free.

Here's what's coming up:

Wednesday, May 2nd I have an interview with debut co-authors Laurie Morrison and Cordelia Jensen and a giveaway of their MG contemporary EVERY SHINY THING and my IWSG post

Monday, May 7th I have an interview with debut author Kristin Perez and a giveaway of her YA fantasy SWEET BLACK WAVES

Wednesday, May 9th I have an agent spotlight interview and query critique giveaway with Amanda Ayers Barnett

Monday, May 14th I have an interview with debut author Megan Bannon and a giveaway of her YA fantasy

Monday, May 21st I have an agent spotlight interview and query critique giveaway with Natascha Morris

Thursday, May 31st I'm participating in the Beach Reads Giveaway Hop

Hope to see you on Wednesday!

Here are all the other blogs participating in this blog hop:

Some great giveaways Natalie. Thanks.

So many good books up there! I'd choose the GC if I win though so I can mull it over longer.

Elizabeth Varadan, Author said...

These are great giveaways. I'll pass again on winning, though, because I'm already so far behind in my reading. I will recommend two of those books, though, to people who are entering to win: Some Very Messy Medieval Magic by C. Lee McKinsey was a really good read. And Tick Tock: A Stitch in Crime is a book I already ordered, because it's a collection of mystery stories and I love mysteries. (Otherwise, I would have been entering to win that one.) Good luck to all the participants, and best wishes to the winners.

Brenda said...

Lots of wonderful choices, but I'm swamped at the moment and will let someone else have the opportunity. Hope you have a lovely week Natalie.

Michelle Wallace said...

What an amazing collection!!
It's great to see the IWSG Tick Tock anthology amongst the books! A paperback of the Tick Tock anthology would be so cool...
I tweeted!

Michelle Wallace said...

I also posted it on the Friday News and Promo post at the IWSG Facebook page.

cleemckenzie said...

Wow! That's quite a lineup of books. I'd love to win any of them, except the ones I already own: Corners, Tick Tock A Stitch in Crime, Some Very Messy Medieval Magic. Thanks Natalie!

A great collection indeed. Got a few read at my feed.

Beverly Stowe McClure said...

There are so many great books being published, it's hard to decide which ones to read. Maybe that's why my to-be-read stack is so high. So, I'll not enter. Good luck.
