I know, it's like, what is the strange blog showing up on my feed? I've decided to have a few giveaways again. Most of the books are a little on the older side but they're still good and several of them are autographed. So! Here is the first one.
The Real Real by Emma McLaughlin and Nicola Kraus. It is a hardcover autographed by both authors.
HELLO. It has certainly been a long time. I don't have another contest at the moment unfortunately, but I do want to let you know that I have five books available for swap on Goodreads here. None of them are YA, so it's a long shot that you would want them, but I thought I would mention it. Goodreads announced that they are shutting down their swap in a week, so it's your last chance to get them there. If you are a Goodreads member, please request them there. Otherwise, if there is a book that you would like, let me know and we can work it out. My email is mdondero(at)sprynet(dot)com.
The winner of ...Or Not? by Brian Mandabach is:
Leslie G
Congratulations! Thanks for entering, everyone.
I don't know when the next giveaway will be but keep an eye out.
Well! It's been a while. I apologize for my long absence. I finally have another book to give away:
...Or Not? by Brian Mandabach
When 14 year-old Cassie Sullivan-smart, sensitive, and perceptive-stands up for her beliefs, the flagpole Christian majority decides she's the school Antichrist. Cassie had no idea defending Darwin and refusing to sing "Proud to be an American" would be such a big deal. But it's a brave new world of post-9/11 paranoia in her über-conservative Colorado school. Trying to stay cool while the torments increase, Cassie wonders if anything is really worth it. Taking solace in her journal, she begins to question if simply being is what she really wants. Or Not?

Thanks to everyone who entered and spread the word about this contest. This was the largest number of entrants I've ever had. Without further ado, the winner picked by Random.org is...
Dash and Lily's Book of Dares by Rachel Cohn and
David Levithan
“I’ve left some clues for you.
If you want them, turn the page.
If you don’t, put the book back on the shelf, please.”
So begins the latest whirlwind romance from the New York Times bestselling authors of Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist. Lily has left a red notebook full of challenges on a favorite bookstore shelf, waiting for just the right guy to come along and accept its dares. But is Dash that right guy? Or are Dash and Lily only destined to trade dares, dreams, and desires in the notebook they pass back and forth at locations across New York? Could their in-person selves possibly connect as well as their notebook versions? Or will they be a comic mismatch of disastrous proportions?
Rachel Cohn and David Levithan have written a love story that will have readers perusing bookstore shelves, looking and longing for a love (and a red notebook) of their own.
Contest:
One person will win a brand new hardback copy of the book.
Open to US and Canada only.
Ends November 20th at midnight.

City of Bones by Cassandra Clare
Goodreads description:
When fifteen-year-old Clary Fray heads out to the Pandemonium Club in New York City, she hardly expects to witness a murder - much less a murder committed by three teenagers covered with strange tattoos and brandishing bizarre weapons. Then the body disappears into thin air. It's hard to call the police when the murderers are invisible to everyone else and when there is nothing - not even a smear of blood - to show that a boy has died. Or was he a boy?
This is Clary's first meeting with the Shadowhunters, warriors dedicated to ridding the earth of demons. It's also her first encounter with Jace, a Shadowhunter who looks a little like an angel and acts a lot like a jerk. Within twenty-four hours Clary is pulled into Jace's world with a vengeance, when her mother disappears and Clary herself is attacked by a demon. But why would demons be interested in ordinary mundanes like Clary and her mother? And how did Clary suddenly get the Sight? The Shadowhunters would like to know....

Scarlett March lives to hunt the Fenris-- the werewolves that took her eye when she was defending her sister Rosie from a brutal attack. Armed with a razor-sharp hatchet and blood-red cloak, Scarlett is an expert at luring and slaying the wolves. She's determined to protect other young girls from a grisly death, and her raging heart will not rest until every single wolf is dead.

Goodreads description:
If this is a dream, why does she seem so real?
Though Abel Dandy was born to circus performers and grew up in a troupe of odd and inexplicable people, he has never felt limited by his normalcy--until now. Realizing he'll never be more amazing than the talented oddities around him, Abel can only dream of living a life richer than his own.
But in his dreams a mysterious woman beckons him, calling him passionately by a name he doesn't know and speaking in a language he's never heard, but fully understands. Compelled by these visions and yearning to be more than ordinary, Abel embarks on a journey more frightening and wondrous than he ever imagined....
