500 Bloglovin' Followers International Giveaway

I started this blog 6 months ago and didn't really know to expect. Part of me wondered if anyone would actually read it because I was such a newbie and had no idea what I was doing. My blog design is still completely amateur but I am slowly but surely getting there. I am becoming more confident as a blogger and that feels amazing.

I reached 500 Bloglovin' followers!

I can't really express my surprise that I am here doing a giveaway to celebrate reaching 500 followers via Bloglovin'. That actually blows my mind and it's all thanks to you guys. There's not much I can do to thank you all for the support and for making my day with your comments. The only thing I can do is host a giveaway.

I always struggle with ideas for giveaways but I finally decided what I wanted to do. I want to offer one winner up to £30 worth of books from Book Depository, of their choice. But I will also be giving them a copy of Alienated by Melissa Landers which came out last month. I was lucky enough to get an earc from Netgalley last year and ended up falling in love with this book. You can read my review here. With the cover reveal of the sequel, I thought it was time to let one of you win a copy so you can read it, love it and eagerly await the sequel with me! 

I mean look at the gorgeous covers.... how can you not want them?

    Congrats on the 500 followers, girl! That's amazing and you deserve it!

    There are many books I want so it's kinda hard to say but I wouldn't mind getting The Ancient Alien Question by Philip Coppens.
    And the book I would recommend is... The Golden Apple by Michelle Diener (though it isn't out yet!)

    Thanks for the giveaway! =D

    Oh awesome giveaway!! Haven't check my Bloglovin status lately. I stick mostly with GFC because it's how I started blogging and it's what I'm used to. Adding in new ways of following blogs makes things difficult for me to check things everyday during my blog visits! But amazing job!!

    One book I would recommend, oh there are soooo many. But I'll rewind to an older favorite of mine that I discover loooooong before Paranormal YA was a genre on its own. Back in the day I had to sift through nearly EVERY YA book on the shelf looking for good titles that would be Paranormal or paranormal-y!

    First series I recommend is The Mediator by Meg Cabot. Susannah is a mediator, she can see ghosts. Not always a good thing since they sometimes get chatty. But when her mother moves the family to a new house in CA, there happens to be a very hot cowboy ghost haunting her room and let's just say she isn't that unhappy about things! ;)

    Another absolute fave is a standalone book called Old Magic by Marianne Curley. I reread this one quite a bit. It involved a teen witch trying to help a boy from her class rid his family of an age long curse that has plagued them for generations. And it involves going back in time to when it began!!

    Ooh, oooh--yeah I got a TON of them--my first vampire novel Demon in My View by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes was another instant fave. Jessica is a teen (and a writer!) who wrote a book about vampires. Only thing is, it's all real. She just doesn't know it. So the big, bad vamp, Aubrey--her villain, who's real--comes to see what she knows and possibly kill her if it warrants it. Yeah, it was freaking awesome! Read that one several times too!

    Okay, I'll stop with the recommendations because I can still go on and on. But figured it was safe to go with my "starter" paranormal reads since not many bloggers tend to know of them.

    I think a book I look forward to reading most...or was it just picking one I really want to read in general if I win? (already forgetting because I got wrapped up on the recommendations!) Anyway one book I would pick is Wings by Elizabeth Richards! Really looking forward to seeing how this trilogy ends!

      I find it really hard to even figure out how many followers I actually have altogether because there are so many different ways to follow. I like the sound of the Meg Cabot series! I have actually never heard of that series before. I would definitely not be complaining if a hot cowboy haunted my room.

      I have a Marianne Curley book but it isn't that, so will have to look that one up on Goodreads. Demon in My View sounds so good and unique, will HAVE to look for that one and see if I can get it here. They are great recommendations because I haven't heard of any :)

      Nice pick! I've been seeing that book a lot recently, makes me want to go check out the authors books. Thanks for the awesome recommendations! :)

    part two of the Overton Window 'The Eye of Moloch' since i had begun reading it and wasnt able to finish it due to time restraints.
    I would recommend 'Do You Believe In Signs; Journey Beyond And Back' by Shalomi from Lulu, 'The Left Behind Series' and 'The Harbinger' are good ones to start with. I have read thousands!

    Congratulations on this great milestone! There are so many books I want, considering there isn't any bookstores nearby. I've been wanting to get an actual copy of Cruel Beauty by Rosamund Hodge, a set of books by Paulo Coelho and The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer.

    I'd recommend Cruel Beauty to anyone who enjoys retellings of mythology. I think it's a very well done story!
