:O All those amazing books! I want to move to the US x) Great giveaway, Rachel! I love the thought of some of them finding new homes and being read and enjoyed by more people. That's why I love giving away books I read and don't really want to keep or stuff I never got to finishing and know I might not ever finish.

Flannery Anderson said...

LOL What ONE book is sitting on my shelf? Um, how about what 100 books are sitting on my shelves? Well, the ones I feel most guilty about are the ones that were given to me as gifts from other bloggers that I need to get to so I don't feel like a crap friend. Code Name Verity, Taste of a Man, and a few others. Could I use 16 more to stare at? Heck yes I could:)

Wendi said...

ooo in my shelf. Hmm, I have one book that I've dropped only because it's the second book and it was pretty lame called White is for Magic it's in a series and it's still sitting there. Yup. But, overall, I don't buy much only because my parents don't really let me buy like 8 at a time! I only get 4 and it's ones I really want.

Great giveaway though!

Unknown said...

Oh my gosh, my dresser is overflowing with books too. My husband keeps staring at them and asking when I'm going to do something about it. When Borders closed I bought a book called Slayed by Amanda Marrone. I swear I'm going to get to it. And I know it hasn't been that long, but I bought Onyx the day it came out & it's just sitting in my kindle. 'm dying to get to that one, too.

Unknown said...

I've had IQ84 on my shelf for a couple of months and have been working so much, I haven't had the time to devote to this massive (924 page) book!
