A Reader Happy's Gratitude Giveaway!

Gratitude Giveaways - Blog Follower Appreciation is our way to say thank you to our fab followers!
This is hosted by I Am A Reader, Not A Writer

The blog is barely a year old and I want to thank my fab followers! Around this time last year I was not yet into reading until I bumped into Hush, Hush and got me hooked. Almost two months later, i got into blogging.

If it Hush, Hush kind of started it, then there's Cassandra Clare's Mortal Instruments, which cemented this sort of love. I still remember finishing all three books within three days. The best freaking days of that year.


The Giveaway: One Winner can win Hush, Hush or Crescendo by Becca Fitzpatrick and another winner can choose from Cassandra Clare's Mortal Instruments books (City of Bones, City of Ashes, City of Glass - not as a set; saving it for a special giveaway.^_^) or Clockwork Angel.
They were the ones that got me hooked into reading again so it's also a way of saying thanks to both of them and sharing all the angel-love! :)

Details: There will two winners, who can choose from Becca or Cassie's books as the prize. There is an option in the form where you can choose which you will be entering for. (So I will have one winner for Becca's and another one for Cassie.) And since the books will be delivered through The Book Depository, the contest is open internationally as long as they deliver to your country (check here).

This will run until November 28, 11:59 EST. I will contact the winner first through email and then announce the winner by December 1.

Rules:

Follower of my blog through GFC
Book Depository ships to your country
fill out the FORM


Bonus Entries:
follow me on Twitter (+1)
grabbing my button (+1)
posting, linking, or tweeting this contest (+1/each)
