Giveaway: Slammed & Point of Retreat by Colleen Hoover

Slammed (Slammed, #1)      Point of Retreat (Slammed, #2) 

Hello readers! Recently, I was fortunate enough to meet the lovely Colleen Hoover at an author event signing. There were a lot of authors so this was more of a sign and dash than an event where you could ask loads of questions. Even so, I had a wonderful time with my book-buddy, Arlene from Winterhaven Books. Plus, I got SIGNED books!! Of course I wanted to share the love so I have a few copies I'll be giving away.  The first set is Slammed and Point of Retreat by Colleen Hoover.  You may or may not know I ADORED both of these books.  Although, I only reviewed Slammed on the blog (you can read my review here).  I guess I was too lazy to review Point of Retreat, or maybe too emotionally exhausted.  At any rate, both are amazing IMO and I know Slammed has been optioned for a movie. These books were originally self-published but some smart and enterprising person at Atria Books scooped them up!

Colleen Hoover signing all my books! Squee!!


The giveaway is for a SIGNED paperback copy of both Slammed and Point of Retreat.  The giveaway is INTERNATIONAL.  Just fill in the rafflecopter below for a chance to win.  Good luck and thanks for stopping by!

My favourite is probably The Sea of Tranquility by Katja Millay! Thanks for the giveaway :)

Dianne said...

I haven't read much NA but like Nara, I really really loved The Sea of Tranquility. Thanks for the giveaway! <3

Ivana said...

My favorite NA is definitely Hopeless by Coleen Hoover! This book was so much more than I expected. I also loved Strength by Carrie Butler :) Thank you for the awesome giveaway, I cannot wait to read these two.

Carina Olsen said...

I have never read an New Adult book. But I want to! And these books sounds amazing :D Thank you so much for this perfect giveaway. <3

Tanja - Tanychy said...

Woha I'm so happy to see that you've met Colleen Hoover! I'm sure that you two had a great chat ;) I've read and loved both books too and I can't wait to read Will's side of story.

My fave new adult read would probably be Easy! :)

Thanks for the giveaway :)

Unknown said...

I honestly haven't had much luck with the New Adult genre as a whole, so I don't have a favorite, but I started Easy a while ago and liked it, so maybe that'll be my fave when I finish. Thanks for the giveaway!

Ari (Reading After Midnight) said...

Hmm.. not sure if I can choose between "The Sea of Tranquility", "Flat-Out Love" and "Easy", but one of them should be it :)

Christina Fiorelli said...

Christina K. in the rafflecopter

Definitely Easy by Tamara Weber and Flat out Love and Flat out Matt by Jessica Park:)

Thank you:)

Anonymous said...

For now, it's Going Under by S. Walden :)

Flannery Anderson said...

I haven't read much New Adult, sadly. At the moment, the only NA book I can even think of that I've read is Flat-Out Love. Maybe Psych Major Syndrome counts because she's in college? Or, I KNOW!, The Piper's Son. Yes, lets go with that as my final answer:)

Nuzaifa @ Word Contessa said...

Gosh Rachel you are so lucky! I'd love to meet Colleen too-Thanks for making this giveaway international. :D

The Sea of Tranquility and Slammed are the two books that come to my mind when you say fave NA books. :)

nurmawati djuhawan said...

Mimi Smith said...

Pushing the Limits.

Unknown said...

I've actually never read NA before, but this is a good place to start!

jarkin33 said...

I think it would have to be Hopeless or Easy :) Thanks for the giveaway!!

Carmen B. said...

I loved loved loved Just One Day by Gayle Forman!! It was truly inspiring! As far as self-pubbed ones go, I really enjoyed Rule by Jay Crownover :) Thanks for the giveaway! I've heard so much about Slammed and I'd love to check it out myself.

Obsmama said...

Hopeless or The Sea of tranquility depends on the day. But I have a major crush on Will ;)

picklewinkle said...

I've recently read both Easy and Pushing the Limits and really adored both of them. I like anything that's a good emotional read. Thanks for letting us have a chance at your generous giveaway!

erin said...

Haven't read very many but I did love Losing it by Cora Carmack :)

Cindi said...

The Last Breath, Morganford Vampires series is very good!!!

Divergent Gryffindor said...

Im not sure if Dare You To is NA or YA, but if it's NA, then that definitely is my favorite:) I love how I was able to connect to Katie McGarry's characters, and how I could relate to them:)

Anonymous said...

My favorite so far has been Hopeless by Colleen Hoover! I cried so much while reading that book, and I had the biggest book hangover after finishing it!!!

Liene Sun said...

i'd say my favourite was The Sea of Tranquility by Katja Millay :)
thanks for the giveaway!

Katie said...

Thank you for the great giveaway!

Katie said...

Oops... My favorite new adult read... I don't get to read a lot of adult books, but I enjoyed The Bookman's Tale by Charlie Lovett

D. said...

Losing It by Cora Carmack! :D

Unknown said...

): I have actually never read any. I have been trying to get my hands on Beautiful Disaster. I have heard a lot about Hoover so I am really excited about this giveaway!

Kristia said...

The edge of Never. Thank you for the giveaway :)

Jenny said...

Ahhhh! I've heard such awesome things about Colleen Hoover but I haven't picked these up yet! I fail at being a fan of New Adult apparently. I would say Easy is my favorite NA read simply because it was my first. On Dublin Street would be a super close second, and I'm sure Slammed will rank right up there once I read it:) Thanks so much for the giveaway Rachel!

Texas Book Lover said...

I haven't read a ton of NA yet but I read Hopeless this past weekend and absolutely loved it!

Cayce said...

I loved Slammed and The Sea of Tranquility, but in my opinion they are more ya than na... I also really enjoyed The Edge of Never :)

Thanks for the awesome giveaway!

Pushing The Limits Series by Katie McGarry…haven't read many NA at the moment though.

Eunice said...

Yay! Lucky you, Rachel! I'm happy you get the chance to meet Colleen Hoover. I enjoyed Slammed and Point of Retreat so I'm quite jealous of you now. Haha! Someday I'd just go fly over there just so I could meet up the authors and have my books signed. Haha!

Anyhoo, my favorite NAs are Going Too Far, Wait for You, Nick and Nora's Infinite Playlist and of course, Where She Went!! :D

hbjgvhuogyihpo said...

I'm so happy you got the chance to meet her and had a good time! Some of my favorites would have to be Easy, Losing It, and Where She Went!

a reader who reads said...

No sure I can pick one favorite, probably sometime by Abbi glines!

Lexi Edwards said...

Hopeless by Colleen Hoover. Amazing book :)

Sara @ Forever 17 Books said...

I haven't read a lot of New Adult yet but I'd have to say The Sea of Tranquility is an amazing novel. One of my favorites reads from this year so far. Thanks for this giveaway! :)

WinterFaerie said...

Easy by Tammara Webber.

Unknown said...

Hmmm... I would say Easy, Slammed, and The Coincidence of callie and kayden. It's a genre I'm starting to get more into.

Unknown said...

You know, I think I've only read one single New Adult book. I could be wrong. But that single novel was Flat-Out Love and I actually really loved it. I've heard some crazy good things about these books but have yet to pick it up. May have to do that though, especially considering how much you loved them. :)

Aneeqah said...

I'm not really sure if this one count, but you know, I really enjoyed Just One Day. I'd classify it as NA, since the protagonist is in college, and really does a lot of self-discovery and all that lovely stuff. ;)

It's so cool that you got to meet such a famous author! Even if you didn't get to bombard her with questions. ;) Thank you for the giveaway Rachel! <3

Liss Martz said...

Easy and Beautiful Disaster :)

jayjay said...

This would have to be Crash by Nicole Willliams! Totally love it!

Sam (Realm of Fiction) said...

Zoe said...

The author's event sounds brilliant :) Thank you for the giveaway! I don't read much New Adult books but my favourite has to be Easy by Tamara Webber.

I have a couple of New Adult that I've purchased and haven't had a chance to read yet, so I don't have a favorite. Every time I think I'm going to get a chance to get to my "own it pile" the library calls to tell me I have books in. It's a hard life....
