A LOT of my author friends have March 1st releases, so yesterday I woke up with this brilliant idea: I need to have a HUGE GIVEAWAY!!!!
So, I started sending harassing emails and tweeting like a madwoman...and VOILA, a giveaway is born.
And here they are, the fabulous books that are up for grabs:
Saundra Mitchell’s THE VESPERTINE (OMG, I loved Shadowed Summer SOOO much…I seriously cannot wait to read this one too!) (Okay, technically this is a March 7th release, but I just had to include it!)
Lisa and Laura Roecker’s THE LIAR SOCIETY (Why? 1. I blurbed it. 2. I made an ass out of myself in a video for them. Clearly, you already know I loved this one!)
Lindsey Leavitt’s SEAN GRISWOLD’S HEAD (She is SO not just about pink and princesses and bubbles, you guys. This one is about angsty first crushes and family drama! And how could you NOT love that cover?!?!) (I'll wait while you go look at the cover...)
Rachel Hawkins' DEMONGLASS, the sequel to HEX HALL (I just finished Hex Hall, and thank God I don't have to wait to read DEMONGLASS!!!)
Lee Nichols’ BETRAYAL (One word: Ghosts!) (Okay, more than one word: I love books about ghosts!!!!)
Kim Harrington’s CLARITY (Publisher’s Weekly gave CLARITY a starred review…that should make everyone want their own copy!) (I know I do.)
AND: Carrie Ryan's THE DARK AND HOLLOW PLACES, the final book in The Forest of Hands and Teeth trilogy. (The Forest of Hands and Teeth scared me in the best possible way!!!) (This is another cheat book, since it's not actually out until March 22nd. But, again, I just had to have it!)
Here’s your chance to win your VERY OWN SIGNED COPIES! I’m giving each of these books away, and all you have to do is leave a comment.
That’s it.
No really, that’s all.
Just a comment. Preferably something nice. And maybe something about one of their books...just sayin'.
And on Friday, I’ll choose SEVEN random winners to win one of these uber-fab books!
It’s March Madness, people. Get excited!
Sorry, international folks, this one’s for US entrants only.

I'm drooling over that Carrie Ryan book. Just so you're aware. You are such a tease!
Great contest!

Thanks, Kim... OH! And I'll see you in Naperville on March 16th!

Ah! The Vespertine and The Dark and Hollow Places are two of my must-haves for 2011.
Epic contest! I'm sure all of these are amazing.
Eek! The Vespertine and The Liar Society (I loved all the videos that everyone made for The Liar Society)!!!! I so need both of those books. Thanks for the super contest. ^_^

How awesome are you? I'll tell you the truth, I'd like to read any of these books. I've found that by going off of recommendations of others, you can't go wrong! The Vespertine sounds like it's going to be GOOD! And after the awesome home video you guys made, it's a must that I read The Liar Society. LOL
I'm really looking forward to Clarity! I had a chance to ask Kim a few questions for my own blog recently and she was really great even though she is busy as heck! Definitely have to get myself a copy :)I also get to meet Carrie Ryan next month here in Cincinnati. Yaaaay!
Thanks so much! This giveaway is so awesome. So many great titles!!
This actually beats the basketball kind of March Madness! And I count that as christmas part 3!
I can't wait for Carrie, Sandra, and Rachel's books!!
And I'm excited for the debuts, especially after all the pink haired videos! Thanks for the ah-mazing contest!

What a lovely selection of books. Much awaited sequels and some juicy new ones. I always vow not to start new books in a series because waiting for the next installment drives me crazy. But they are too good to resist.

Dear Kim,
Because I love your books...
Two muffins are in an oven. One muffin says to the other one, "Dude! It is SO HOT in here!" The second muffin turns and yells, "Oh my God! TALKING MUFFIN!"
You are more than welcome to use giggling (from my awful joke) as one of Violet's echoes for a future book.
Did I mention that I loved your books? :D

twilightforever.edward at gmail dot com
The Forest of Hands and Teeth series was AMAZING. It is a one of a kind series. You'll never read another zombie apocalypse book like it!
I'd also like to say, I'm so glad Demonglass is out now!!!! Hex Hall was so hilarious and fun and keep-you-reading-late-into-the-wee-hours-of-the-night.
Thank you for this contest Kimberly!
haha! This giveaway just got me real excited! I'm grinning like the Cheshire cat! :P I've got an ARC of DHP and let me tell all of you, It was fantastic! Simply blew me away!
I'm actually planning on starting Hex Hall so I'd be jazzed to win the sequel. That, or Vespertine!
what a great give away!! this is so awesome
Im soooooo excited for Demonglass, its been such a long wait! Hexhall was amazing and I can't wait to see what comes next!!!
Of course, winning any of the other books wouldn't be so bad either.
wow, I've heard really good things about pretty much ALL of those books :)
Count me in! anedia @ gmail.com
I loved the first two books in the Forest of Hands and Teeth series, so I can't wait to read Dark and Hollow Places!

Wowza! What a great contest! TG mes parents still live in the US so if I win...(and I'm crossing my fingers...)
I love Carrie Ryan's books. Can't wait for hers. Looking forward to read the rest of them too. All of them sound really good.
Omigosh I want to own Betrayal by Lee Nichols like Woah status to the nth degree. And Clarity by Kim Harrison is nothing short of amazing. This contest is epic-ness!
looksielovitz@gmail.com
Awesome books! I've already bought/pre-ordered a couple of them but didn't have enough money to buy Clarity - which sounds AMAZING. And, ofc, I need to catch up Carrie Ryan's series; I've only read book one. Thanks for this contest! :D
booksatmidnight(at)gmail(dot)com
All amazing looking books. I'm especially excited for Demonglass and Clarity.
What a cool giveaway. I love reading books recommended by authors I enjoy.
I can not wait for Demon Glass, I have been waiting for this since I put down Hex Hall....thanks for the contest!
I am so happy that you are taking the time to do a contest like this! It is so important for young people, of all ages, to read and explore the worlds created by authors. It wasn't until I went to grad school for library science that I discovered the addicting young adult novels!
I plan on looking into all the ones you mentioned. (One word Ghosts! Okay, more words...I really love ghost novels too!)
Its great to know that libraries aren't the only places trying to get free books into the hands of willing readers!
What a wonderful giveaway. I actually have all these on my TBR list so winning them is an added bonus.
bookwormygirl[at]gmail.com
Oh my word, I want to read ALL OF THEM! I've actually read Demonglass and LOVED IT a lot! What a great contest, thanks for the opportunty to win and I can't wait to hear about The Pledge! ;)

Thanks for the awesome giveaway! I totally want to read the Liar Society, and I'm curious about a few of these other books.
The cover for The Pledge is lovely, btw! Can't wait to see the synopsis!
nudging.along[at]gmail.com
I did have to stop and look at the cover for Sean Griswold's Head. Thanks for taking time out for that :) I can't wait to check out the video for Liar Society now that I know you'll be doing something embarassing in it. Thanks for the March Madness!
I just Ordered Clarity and I'm dying for it to come so I can spend all night with my blanket and that book!
WOW! Thanks Kimberly, this is an awesome giveaway! I'd love to win and be able to read one of those great books.
