100th Review Mega Giveaway!!

Hello everyone! Just posted my 100th review and I couldn't be happier! I can't believe that I started this blog just over a year ago, time has really flown by. Want to help me celebrate...and help me clear out some of these books? I thought you might! :)

So, this is the scoop. I have quite a lot of extra books hanging around. There are several reasons for this:

1. My Mom gets a lot of the same review copies that I do and she sends them on to me when she is done. (Thanks Mom!!)

2. For some reason I frequently receive review copies twice. I've been hoarding all of Mom's books and the extra copies I have received for this giveaway.

3. I picked up quite a few books at Book Expo America to add to this giveaway.

(If you are a publisher/publicist and see a book on this list that is pending my review, don't panic! I'm not giving away any of my review copies of books that I haven't reviewed yet. These are all extra copies.)

Most of the books on this list are Advanced Review Copies (called ARCS or uncorrected proofs). This means that they are not the finished format and may have typos and other errors in them. Some of them have been read. Some books on the list are older books that I have read and don't have room to keep or accidentally bought two copies of (this happens waaaayyy too often). Most are paperback but there are a few hardcovers in the mix.

Now for the exciting news:

I will be giving away ten books to each winner. This will be a progressive giveaway, the more entries I get, the more winners there will be. One name will be drawn for the first twenty entries and for every twenty entries after that I will add another winner, up to a total of 10 winners (so, there can be an unlimited number of entries but after 200 entries there will not be any additional winners). No extra entries this time for blogging or tweeting, but it is in your best interest to spread the word, the more individual entries, the more winners there will be. So here are the rules (these are important, please read them!!):

1. USA only. I'm very sorry about this but am bearing the cost of this myself and it just is too expensive to ship heavy books outside of the US. It's a bummer, I know.

2. ONLY LEAVE ONE COMMENT ON THIS POST. If you leave a second comment, I will remove it. This is the easiest way for me to keep track of the number of entries, and multiple comments will mess up the counting. Please, one comment only. I'm begging here.

3. In your comment, include two or three titles from the list that you would most like to win as well as your favorite genre or genres. I will do my best to insure that each winner receives at least two books that they asked for or in their favorite categories. I can't make any promises, the ten books each winner gets will be a mix, but I will make every attempt to include something you really want! :) Also, please leave your email address or be sure it is available in your blogger ID, I need to be able to contact you if you win.

4. Now, I know you love to get extra entries, so this is how it will work for this giveaway. I will give you an extra entry for EACH COMMENT that you leave on any of my previous BOOK REVIEWS or GUEST POSTS between today, June 30, and the end of the giveaway on July 21st. Here's the hard part: you have to read the review or guest post and leave a thoughtful comment. I mean it, do not leave just leave "good/great/happenin'/interesting review" or "please enter me." I will not count any simplistic entries like these. A thoughtful comment, please, is all that is required. You can find a list of my 2009 reviews on the left sidebar, my 2008 reviews are here.

5. Best of luck to everyone! Many, many thanks for helping me to clear out a little space in my over crowded (with books) home and for being the wonderful followers, readers and commenters that you are!!

There are some fantastic titles here! Those of you with sharp eyes will see that there is not quite 100 books on this list. That is because I have more than one giveaway copy of some of these titles. See, I really needed to do this giveaway!

If I get less than 200 entries, I will take the remainder of the books and donate them to my local library for their yearly booksale. If you are a winner and receive a book that you have already read or already have, may I suggest that you pass it on to a friend or donate it to your local library? Share the love!
