Happy New Year!!!! To end 2013, I wanted to do a small giveaway featuring my favorite reads from 2013. I read 300 books this past year, and 50 of them received five star ratings from me because I found them to be just that intoxicating. Some of them, I know you’ve heard of prior to now. But some of them, you haven’t, and I wish to remedy that through this giveaway.
The list of books up for grabs is below–click the links to read my reviews–and on February 5th, I will select TWO winners. Please make sure you know whether or not the Book Depository sends to your country if you choose a hardcopy title. If you choose an ebook copy, please make sure you have either a Kindle or Nook device of some sort (and if you win and have chosen an inexpensive ebook, I might just let you pick a second ebook from the list as well…we shall see).

UtopYA 2013 was one of the best experiences of my life, and I think the 300+ participants that were there with me this year would agree 100%. Right now, tickets for next year are on an early-bird sale, but they’ll no longer be on discounted sale after July 31. In fact, you won’t be able to buy them again until Black Friday when they will be released for full price admission. But never fear!! We’d love to see you down in Nashville, Tennessee, with us in 2014, and so, with the permission of UtopYA founder Janet Wallace, many authors and bloggers have come together to create TWO epic prize packs complete with one ticket to UtopYA 2014 (for 3-day pass to conference, admission to awards and after party, Friday night book signing, and Sunday write-in), a UtopYA 2013 t-shirt signed by a majority of the authors in attendance, signed books, ebooks, and swag. The sheer amount of prizes and support from authors and bloggers for this giveaway just goes to show you how much we adore UtopYA and each other, and we’d really like to see you there (prize pack does NOT include transportation to the conference or lodging, you’ll have to provide that on your own, sorry).
Below is a list of what each Prize Pack includes:
