Pay It Forward Giveaway Hop (World-Wide)
June 23, 2012 45 Comments
THIS POST is a sticky, and will stay on top for the remainder of this event. Anyone can enter!
The Pay It Forward Blog Hop runs from June 23rd until June 30st and is hosted by Roof Beam Reader. All participating blogs are giving away something they love and want others to know about too. The primary goal is to support authors, products, and items we love but which might not be widely known.
If you’re new here: welcome to my blog! I read contemporary fiction, a bit of chick-lit, some thrillers and science fiction, and whatever I can get my hands on. To enter my giveaway you do not have to be a follower, although if you like my blog, please consider following by email or RSS.
My giveaway is via Book Depository so if they deliver to your country, you can enter (check here).
One winner will receive a copy of a book I absolutely loved. It’s Ready Player One by Ernest Cline (cover may vary).
My review of this book is HERE.
This book is about a world in which most people use an online system, OASIS, for their daily living. Wade Watts is 18 years old and spends all his time there. He’s looking for a treasure that has been left behind by the inventor of OASIS.
Through playing old-fashioned computer games and movies, he gets closer to the treasure, but the powerful Sixes, who work in a large team, are on his tail. They will stop at nothing to get to the treasure.
Computer geeks and anyone remembering the 1980s will love this book. But also anyone liking a dystopia-kind of world will enjoy this – and, I know I’m biased but, I think most people who read this book enjoyed it loads! 🙂

This sounds like an interesting read!
One of the books I like the most was The time travelers’ wife by Audrey Niffeneger. The story was very special and original.
I absolutely loved GAME OF THRONES by George RR Martin. It was brilliant!!
I have wanted to read this for a long time, so thanks for this giveaway, Judith.
My favourite read this year was The Submission, by Amy Waldman, which I know you loved too.

Hmmm…. I would say 11-22-63 is one I have been raving about.
I liked Diary of a Provincial Lady by Delafiedl very much.
I’m currently in love with the whole Mythos academy series!

Thanks for the giveaway!

Oooh, this one has been on my wishlist for a while, great choice for a giveaway!
As for recent books that I have enjoyed – if we’re talking specifically about recently published books, I loved The Drowning by Camilla Lackberg. Otherwise I have recently read and been gripped by These Things Hidden by Heather Gudenkauf.
This is one of my recent faves. I would love a copy of my own. Thanks for the chance!
The book sounds great! So far this year I loved “The Lover’s Dictionary” by David Levithan. It’s written as a dictionary but it tells a whole love story.
I really want to read this one, so thanks for the chance. A recent book that I loved? Hmm…I did really enjoy Nevemore by Kelly Creagh

I’m feeling the love for Lingering Tide, a collection of stories by Lata Viswanathan. Tiny Canadian press, zero publicity, no buzz that I can see, debut author, but OMG is the book good.
I’ve never heard of Ready Player One, but it sounds like all kinds of awesome, and i’d love to win a copy.
Legend by Marie Lu.

Thanks for the giveaway!
I would LOVE to read this! Been thinking of it ever since I read Bree’s enthusiastic review. 🙂
A recently released book that I enjoyed was The Rest is Silence by Scott Fotheringham. Also Bringing Up Bebe, which is non-fiction, and Above which is YA fantasy!
The last book that I really really liked was The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms by N.K. Jemisin.
thank you for the giveaway!
I am so curious about this book everyone seems to be talkiing about these days!
I really enjoyed the last two books I’ve read- Invisible by Paul Auster and The thieves of Manhattan by Adam Langer, they both have some postmodern elements in common, as well as metafiction.
