2014 is truly a great year for books! I've reread favorites from childhood, read some books that I've been wanting to read and discovered truly amazing gems!
Marking Time was brought to my attention by some random comment of a blogger somewhere (I forgot). I read the synopsis and interested me enough that I bookmarked it on Goodreads. Weeks passed but I haven't got the urge to buy it right away but it was always in my mind.
June was ending and I was kind of bored that day so I went right ahead and bought Marking Time. Hands down, my best discovery this year. And it was just five days before the sequel, Tempting Fate, came out! Score! You can read my review of Marking Time here and Tempting Fate here.
On the other hand, I admired The Collectors' Society for its handling of the romance. Oh my goodness, Alice, you have an effing great taste in men. And I love, love, love its depiction of Wonderland. It's what I imagined it to be. You can read my full gushing here.
On to the giveaway!
Marking Time is currently free on Amazon. What are you waiting for? GO GET IT! I promise you, you won't regret it. It's AWESOMESAUCE.
I've giving away ebook copies of Tempting Fate and The Collectors' Society for this blog hop. Two (2) winners will win these books AND one ebook of their choice. Contest ends on December 19. This is international.
I've read too many to have only one favorite, but I really liked Forbidden by Kimberley Griffiths Little. She's giving away a copy of it on my blog for the hop!
A few of my favorites are Hidden Monster by Amanda Strong, The Kiss of Deception by Mary E. Pearson, Wyrmspire by Garret RObinson and Z.C. Bolger, and the Nine Realms series by Mark Cole :)
