All Hallow’s Read Giveaway – 2015 (closed)

Hello gentle reader,

this year again I’ve decided to join the initiative called All Hallow’s Read. The idea? Give someone a scary book for Halloween.

AHR13_WebBanner

Fantasy author Neil Gaiman made a lovely (!) video to explain this Halloween tradition:

So I’ve chosen to join this initiative by giving away a copy of SLASHER GIRLS AND MONSTER BOYS, a YA anthology curated by April Genevieve Tucholke.

Exclusive_Slasher-Girls-and-Monster-Boys-cover

From Goodreads:

For fans of Stephen King, Neil Gaiman, Lois Duncan, and Daphne Du Maurier comes a powerhouse anthology featuring some of the best writers of YA thrillers and horror.

A host of the smartest young adult authors come together in this collection of scary stories and psychological thrillers curated by Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea’s April Genevieve Tucholke.

Each story draws from a classic tale or two—sometimes of the horror genre, sometimes not—to inspire something new and fresh and terrifying. There are no superficial scares here; these are stories that will make you think even as they keep you on the edge of your seat. From bloody horror to supernatural creatures to unsettling, all-too-possible realism, this collection has something for any reader looking for a thrill.

Fans of TV’s The Walking Dead, True Blood, and American Horror Story will tear through tales by these talented authors: Stefan Bachmann, Leigh Bardugo, Kendare Blake, A. G. Howard, Jay Kristoff, Marie Lu, Jonathan Maberry, Danielle Paige, Carrie Ryan, Megan Shepherd, Nova Ren Suma, McCormick Templeman, April Genevieve Tucholke, Cat Winters.

Stuck in a Good Book Giveaway Hop (closed)

Hello gentle reader,

This week I’m taking part in the

Stuck in a Good Book Giveaway Hop

Hosted by Kathy @ I Am A Reader, Not A Writer & Valerie @ Stuck in Books

GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED – THANKS TO ALL WHO ENTERED ! 

The winner will be contacted by email.

It runs from today until 25 September 2012 and it is a chance for me to share with you “a book that I just couldn’t put down”.

I have chosen to give away The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins (new paperback, US edition). The giveaway is international.

The Hunger Games is a book that I would have read in one sitting if I could have. I actually remember reading it at work, because I couldn’t wait for the end of the day to know what would happen next. I also remember reading the last page when I was about halfway through the book. I NEVER do that. I always read the book from page 1 to the end and I don’t peak. But this book got me so tensed that I had to know if Peeta would survive the Games. So if you haven’t read The Hunger Games, here is your chance.

And of course,

May the odds be ever in your favor...

Quote of the Day – 7

Fantastical Intentions is a feature featuring Hannah and Naithin of Once Upon A Time and Jacob of Drying Ink. They decide on a fantasy related topic and everyone is welcome to join in. If you would like to participate, write a blog post of your own and leave your link in the comments.

This week’s topic is: Quotes !

My pick is:

 “There are only two worlds – your world, which is the real world, and other worlds, the fantasy. Worlds like this are worlds of the human imagination: their reality, or lack of reality, is not important. What is important is that they are there. these worlds provide an alternative. Provide an escape. Provide a threat. Provide a dream, and power; provide refuge, and pain. They give your world meaning. They do not exist; and thus they are all that matters. ”

Neil Gaiman, The Books of Magic

What quote did you choose?

Sidenote:  my challenge/giveaway is still open here and you have the opportunity to win The Knife of Never Letting Go by Patrick Ness. Enter now!
