Dreaming of Books Giveaway

I hope this is the first of many, many giveaways for me this year. I have too many books, and 2011 is going to be my downsizing year. I love books, and I want to give a bunch of the ones I have to new and loving homes. To kick off this year, I'm participating in...






I'm giving away a copy of Nevermore by Kelly Creagh (Atheneum). The flap copy reads as follows:



Cheerleader Isobel Lanley is horrified when she is paired with Varen Nethers for an English project, which is due--so unfair--on the day of the rival game. Cold and aloof, sardonic and sharp-tongued, Varen makes it clear that he'd rather not have anything to do with her either. But when Isobel discovers strange writing in his journal, she can't help but give this enigmatic boy with piercing eyes another look.

Soon, Isobel finds herself making excuses to be with Varen. Steadily pulled away from her friends and her possessive boyfriend, Isobel ventures deeper and deeper into the dream world Varen has created through the pages of his notebook, a realm where the terrifying stories of Edgar Allen Poe come to life.

As her world begins to unravel around her, Isobel discovers that dreams, like words, hold more power than she ever imagined and that the most frightening realities are those of the mind. Now she must find a way to reach Varen before he is consumed by the shadows of his own nightmares. 

His life depends on it.


This giveaway lasts until 11:59 p.m. on Monday, January 17.

To enter, tell me your favorite scary story, and leave me an e-mail address (messed up to avoid robots and spam is fine!); you must be a follower to win, and that's on the honor system, as you might follow an RSS feed or privately. I will only be able to ship to the U.S. for this giveaway. I'd really love to see your review of the book, if you write one, so please link me if you do!
