Kickin' off the New Year giveaway



We know, we know that you've participated in a bazillion giveaways during the holidays (and me too! I won a Nook and thanks to Ann Aguirre for that!) but lately Maja and I have been reading some really good books which we wanted to share with you guys.
For this giveaway we decided, once again, to let you choose what you want. You'll have a choice of five books, all hardbacks, and you'll get to pick one.
Here's the selection:
Split by Swati Avasthi, the first book I've read this year that was so amazing I'm kind of sorry for all the other books I'll read after; Enclave by Ann Aguirre, a masterfully written, action-packed dystopia; the newly released The Space Between by Brenna Yovanoff, which is already getting great ratings and reviews; The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight, a cute contemporary YA fiction about a boy, a girl, a wedding and a funeral; and finally the fairy tale-ish, touching story of two brothers in I'll Be There by Holly Goldberg Sloan.



Here’s what you have to do:

First and foremost, you have to follow our blog with Google Friend Connect
Only followers can enter.
Remember, if you don’t follow our blog, your entry won’t be valid.

You don’t have to follow us on Twitter, Facebook, or spread the word, but you get brownie points (and additional entries) if you do.
The giveaway ends on Saturday, January 14th at 9 pm CET and it’s open internationally - that is, wherever The Book Depository ships.
The winner will be picked with randomizer.org and will be notified by email and announced on the blog. If the winner fails to reply to us with his/her mailing address within 3 days, a new winner will be picked.

Good luck!

Lisa and Maja

Contest closed. Winner will be announced shortly.

    ^^ Ditto what Nomes said. I want the prettiest book up there--I'll Be There!

    Only problem is that the more popular you two become, the lesser my chances of dominating your contests.
