The Follower Love Giveaway Hop is here. Woot! Since Valentines Day is around the corner I kinda love this hop. Giving away free sh** is always exciting to me not to mention my Free Sh** Fairy. This hop is hosted by I’m a reader not a writer and The Reader's Antidote.
Since Richelle Mead is on a roll with her YA Bloodlines series, I thought I'd give away one (1) copy of her latest addition to the series, The Indigo Spell. If you're not familiar with the series, check out my review of Bloodlines and The Golden Lily.
The Indigo Spell back cover:In the aftermath of a forbidden moment that rocked Sydney to her core, she finds herself struggling to draw the line between her Alchemist teachings and what her heart is urging her to do. Then she meets alluring, rebellious Marcus Finch--a former Alchemist who escaped against all odds, and is now on the run. Marcus wants to teach Sydney the secrets he claims the Alchemists are hiding from her. But as he pushes her to rebel against the people who raised her, Sydney finds that breaking free is harder than she thought. There is an old and mysterious magic rooted deeply within her. And as she searches for an evil magic user targeting powerful young witches, she realizes that her only hope is to embrace her magical blood--or else she might be next.

Love Hop. Love Hop. Looooove Hop! It’s finally here! Time to show some love to my minion followers with the Follower Love Giveaway Hop! A HUGE thanks to Kathy from I’m a reader not a writer for putting this event together. It’s a ton of work - not just on her part - but also my Free Sh** Fairy’s part.
But seriously, folks…I racked my brain to source something cool to give away and that’s when I remembered something lovely. No. More like something beautiful. And when I think of things of beauty and I combine them with creature of the night type books – I think of one thing. Beautiful Creatures. You guessed it folks. That’s my yummy giveaway. BUT WAIT THERE’s MORE. And I’m not talking about a set of steak knives. Like any book addict, we love our coffee and what goes better with a book than a $10 dollar Starbucks gift card? Am I right? I know. I know. Stop. It’s okay. Breathe. Just breathe. Inhale. Good. Now exhale. Better? Good.
Okay, now here’s the gist. As much as I’d love to giveaway a ton of “free sh**,” frankly…that can’t happen. The Free Sh** Fairy has a budget too and that means only one (1) winner can win a NEW copy of Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl’s bestselling YA thriller Beautiful Creaturesplus a $10 dollar Starbuck GC. It’s a retail value of 20 bones so…that ain’t so bad, eh?
A thing of beauty.
Anyhoo, this is one series I’ve been dying to read & review for some time now. So stay tuned as I plan on reviewing this bad boy. I can’t wait. So listen up. I’ll try to keep this simple. My love fest for my minions/Love Hop starts today Tuesday, February 8th and ends Sunday, February 13th, end of day.
And of course with every contest…there are rules. I’ve said it before…my blog, my rules.
To enter…
You MUST be a follower of my blog and MUST fill out this entry form. (And yes, I do check.)
That’s it. The contest runs from 12:01 AM on Tuesday, Feb. 8th to 11:59 PM on Sunday, Feb 13th. Contest is for US residents only. Want to see who else is participating? Take a look at the links below and hop on by.
