New Design Celebration Giveaway

Hello, my darlings!

I am still over the moon about my new design. I'd waited so long  to do it (mostly because I wanted Rachel @ Parajunkee and no one else), and now that it's finally done, I just can't stop staring at it. So to celebrate with you, I have decided to give away two of my favorite 2012 releases to two winners.


Here are your choices:

        

      

      

      

     



I think I gave you plently to choose from so choose wisely, my friends. Thanks to everyone who left a comment about the new desing, and especially to my friends that never miss a post. I love you, guys. You know who you are. :)

The giveaway is, of course, international, anywhere The Book Depository ships. Good luck!

    I've had a great year I think - it feels like I've had quite a few 4 and 5 star reads already. The ones I remember right now are Ruby Oliver, A Face Like Glass, Silently and Very Fast, and Broken Harbor. I'm sure there are more that I'm forgetting. Great list up there lady! I loved Froi and Raw Blue so much.

    And thanks TO YOU for never missing one of MY posts. :)

    I pick ALL THE BOOKS. Oh, that's not possible? Why do you have to be so difficult?! :) For sure I Hunt Killers. Also probably Raw Blue. I have the Aussie cover but not that one. Who picks two books she's already read? THIS GIRL.

    Congrats on the blog redesign!

    Maja my dear, I can't express how thrilled I am for you that you received the blog design you desired! I think I'm repeating what I've said previously, but seriously. This is one hot blog! It is so utterly gorgeous that I can't stop staring and noticing all those fine details (the lovely sidebar buttons, the glamourous, sophisticated title). And thank you so much for the generous giveaway! I would love to win Raw Blue more than anything. :)

    I would LOVE to win Code Name Verity.

    My absolute favorite ever book which I discovered this year, a few months back is On The Jellicoe Road by Melina Marchetta. I've never had a favorite, a real favorite that I could instantly say that was the best thing I had ever read. Until now. Not my absoluet favorite, but my 2012 read of the year which made it into my favorites is Something Like Normal by Trish Doller. LOVE.

    Also, woops, sorry, I follow your blog via Networked Blogs under the name Rebecca De Aguiar but accidently only wrote Rebecca. Just wanted to let you know :)

    Also, any o this book woul make me happy(except Grave mercy since I alreary brought this one earlier thie year) but I think my choice would have to be Losing Lila.
