Not long ago I discovered a few of you tweeting to get me to the 300 follower mark. As little things I read on Twitter often do, that one sort of made my day. You're all really too sweet for words and I joked that perhaps it was time for a giveaway. The truth is I've been in the mood to have one for awhile now and this is as good a time as any. So here's the deal. This will be a triple prize pack giveaway, meaning there are three packs and you can indicate which one you'd like to be entered to win in the comments. I will choose three random winners and contact them. This giveaway is open to anywhere The Book Depository ships! Here's the list of countries, FYI. Since I tend to read a lot of urban fantasy, straight fantasy, and young adult, I've chosen a set of each including all books currently in print in that series.
The Urban Fantasy Pack
The Kate Daniels series by Ilona Andrews
The Fantasy Pack
The Queen's Thief series by Megan Whalen Turner
The YA Pack
The President's Daughter series by Ellen Emerson White
(Liz of Tea Cozy's review of the series, my review of the last one here)
To enter simply leave me a comment telling me which pack you'd like to win and why. The giveaway will be open for a week and will close at midnight on Thursday, March 11th. I'll announce the winner the next day. Please make sure to leave me a way to contact you.
Edited--This contest is now closed.

Please, please, please enter me in the Fantasy drawing. I read The Thief on your recommendation, loved it, and made everyone I know read it. I have had the hardest time finding the sequels in the bookstore. SO EXCITING!
ReplyDeleteWow! I'd be interested in the urban fantasy pack. I've seen a lot of great reviews for this series and have been meaning to try it! Thanks for offering the chance to win it!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to be entered for the YA pack. And the Urban Fantasy pack (if I can choose two). I'd choose the fantasy one too, if I didn't already own those books :) Thanks!
ReplyDeleteUmmm... yeah, so I think you know which one I'm wanting... in fact... I came "this close" to ordering it today! Maybe I'll wait just one more week. I am so ready to read The Thief and it's sequels! :)

I'd love the urban fantasy pack.great contest I love your blog avatars beautiful art
ReplyDeleteHi! I've been following your blog for a while - I love it - and this is my first comment.
ReplyDeleteI don't believe the books you chose! I love ALL of them! Unfortunately, I own them, too, but... more chances for everyone else.
And I know you've read an ARC of A Conspiracy of Kings (lucky you...) but I'm counting down the days to its official release... Three and a half weeks...
Also, I saw some internet rumors that EEW is working on a fifth Meg Powers book. Did you hear anything about that??
please sign me up for the urban fantasy pack! the series has gotten some great reviews and I'd love to try it out =)
ReplyDeletethanks so much for giving away the whole sets!

And congrats for reaching 300 followers! :D

I have fallen in love with all three of these series; as I'm sure you know. However, if I were to pick one that I would read over and over again it would be the YA pack (or the Urban pack oh choices!).
ReplyDeleteyou are awesome. Thanks for getting me addicted on great books. I'll be swinging by shortly for a new installment. :o)
i'M UP FOR THE QUEEN'S THIEF FANTASY PACK AS THIS IS A Y/A SERIES I'VE BEEN MEANING TO GET TO, BUT HAVE SOMEHOW MISSED UNTIL NOW.

I would love to get the Urban Fantasy Pack. I've already read the series( love Curran and the scooby doo vampire!), but I would like to introduce this awesome series to some of my friends. It's so hard to get a hold of in the libraries
ReplyDeleteI would love the YA pack because thats my fav genre :)
ReplyDeleteI would love to win the urban fantasy pack; I've seen good reviews of the series elsewhere but as of yet I haven't had a chance to pick them up.
ReplyDeletestephaniefleischer889 @ gmail.com
Urban fantasy pack! Because... because Curran is HOT and I can't get enough of him!
ReplyDeletecait.peterson@hotmail.com
The Fantasy Pack! I had never heard of this series until I saw your review for the latest book. Your enthusiasm was contagious! I immediately started looking on GoodReads (my go-to for more info) and the blurbs as well as the other reader's passionate reviews convinced me this is a series I HAVE to try. I have a great feeling about it!

I'd love to be entered for the YA Pack. I've read so many raves about these books and I haven't read them.
ReplyDeleteLiz
Hmmm, all three packs are good. I think I'll go with the Urban Fantasy Pack because I've been seeing these books around for awhile now and really want to read them. Of course the YA pack has been on my list as well, if I win which one do you think I would like more? (I've alread read and loved the Fantasy pack...)
ReplyDeleteAlso, I've been a loyal follower for a very long time, so although its supposed to be a random drawing I just thought I'd put that out there. =)

Angie! Congrats on getting past 300 - that's quite a feat, although not really surprising :).
ReplyDeleteTell you what girlie, I think I could have named which three series you were gonna pick even before I saw this post...let's just say it made me smile big time.
And since I finally went out and bought my very own Kate set, I'd love to be entered for the Pres. Daughters series. I would adore my very own set which I could repeatedly drool over and even occasionally loan out - okay, more than occasionally. Thanks!
I would love to be entered in for the Urban Fantasy pack. I already own the Fantasy and YA series (love them!) plus, I've been hearing raves about the Kate Daniels series.

ReplyDeleteSQUEEEE Queen's Thief series! :) The person who'll get that is really lucky! That's one of my favorite series of all time.
ReplyDeleteToo bad Book Depository doesn't deliver to the Philippines so I can't join. :( I haven't read the books in the other two packs but they look real interesting.
Awesome contest! I would love to win the Fantasy Pack. Thanks!

Wow. I've been reading this blog for a while now and I feel kinda bad that this is my first time commenting...^^;
ReplyDeleteAnyways, I would LOVE to win the Urban Fantasy pack. I read the first book, which I obtained from my school library, and loved the plot and characters. Except my library never got the rest of the series. I would really like to continue and read the next two.

Boy oh boy!!! The fantasy pack, no question--and why? because of you, you book pimping fiend!

Fun giveaway! They are all awesome series but I would love to own The Urban Fantasy Pack. I think I borrowed them from you through Elisa. I keep thinking I need to buy them so I can read them again. I can't wait for the 4th one to come out.
ReplyDeleteThanks again for the fun contest!

So here's a story you might like. Earlier today, I gave my friend a bag of books to borrow over our spring break. We then got to talking about books, and she asked me if I'd read the Kate Daniels series yet. She asks me this every time. Every time, I was forced to say no. But today, she raved on for so long that I finally acquiesced, and now really really really want to win the Urban Fantasy pack!
ReplyDeleteThat's all. :)

Such a great giveaway Angie!
ReplyDeleteI'd love the fantasy pack because I've been meaning to get this series ever since Melina Marchetta said they featured her favourite book couple. If they are her favourites I think I'm pretty much going to adore them!
I would love the urban fantasy or fantasy pack, both packs looks great. Thanks for the giveaway Angie!

I rarely enter these things, but I couldn't pass up the chance -- I would like to be entered for the YA Pack. I'm already of fan of Kate and Curran, and I have The Thief on my eReader.
ReplyDeleteI love how the covers of the President's Daughter series are based on famous paintings. :)
I would love to win either the YA pack or the Fantasy Pack. I've been hearing great reviews about Ilona Andrews' books for ages, and reading your blog has basically sold me on reading Ellen Emerson White.
ReplyDelete(It took me a while to realize I had read some of her books before; she wrote books for the Dear American and Royal Diaries series!)
eargoldman@gmail.com
I would choose The Fantasy Pack for several reasons.
ReplyDeleteOne reason is that I had been reading a lot of Urban fantasy recent I would to return to a more classic genre for a while.
Another reason is that Megan Whalen Turner is author many people have recommended but I have yet to try.
Lastly, and totally superficially, I love the cover art. Isn't it fantastic?
I'd like to be entered for the YA pack please. I've been interested in the series since I read blog reviews for them. They seem to be pretty much totally unavailable down here in New Zealand, so I'd love to win them. (The fantasy ones are tempting too, but I can get them here so I'll sign up for the EEW ones.)
ReplyDeleteI'd love to win the Fantasy Pack. I've been in a reading slump for almost a year now, partly because of a hectic schedule and partly because I'm getting frustrated with almost every new fantasy book I pick up. That's when I turn to MWT's books for comfort, a reminder of how it feels to fall in love with a REALLY GOOD BOOK.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this giveaway! :)

I'm vying for the Fantasy pack! I've heard nothing but great things about The Thief and it's successors. A friend of mine read them last year and said they were brilliant. So I'd love a chance to win them!

First of all,great choice of books! I am facing such a dilemma because all the packs you are offering are superb! But guess I can choose only one(:()..so that will be the YA pack! The reviews I have read about the President's Daughter series seriously intrigues me and has piqued my interest. So I would love to be entered for that pack.
ReplyDeleteThanks!!You are so generous! I heart this blog! :)

ReplyDeletePlease enter me in the Urban Fantasy Pack - I'm new to this genre and want to try out more, but Im not really experienced choosing, so it sounds great that you recommend these - I was so fixed by your reviews ;-)
ReplyDeleteHow! thanks for made it international! I pick Fantasy Pack cause I love the thief! And I love the covers!

I would love to win the YA pack because I adore the way the illustrator/designer has appropriated the work of Wyeth, Whistler, Da Vinci and Vermeer in a beautifully contemporary way. Oh and I'd like to read them too!
ReplyDeletePlease enter me in the UF giveaway. I love the genre and this is one series I haven't gotten to yet, but the premise is quite different from any that I have read (and that's a lot). Thanks!

ReplyDeleteI'd love to win the YA Pack because err..frankly I already own the other two! Hehe. But the Queen's Thief is my favorite series of all time<3 And I've heard you wax poetic about Ellen Emerson White so I am quite excited to read some of her works! =)

I want the fantasy pack. Because I don't read too much fantasy, but one stake conference lunch with you and Holly has made me want to change my ways. Or at least add YA fantasy to my every-expanding book list. Pick me. Pick me!
ReplyDeleteI would love, love, love the fantasy pack. The Queen's Thief series has been one of my favorites for seven years - I started reading it in fifth grade and have loved it since :)
ReplyDeletePlease count me in for the Fantasy Pack. I would give these books as a gift if I won - my own copies of Turner's brilliant books have been on constant loan to a long line of friends. I feel smug whenever I add another person to the Eugenides fandom. =)
