Off to Oz Giveaway Hop

Ah, yes. It’s another giveaway hop, my friends. I’ve realized spreading the good vibes is always a good thing even in blogging. Everytime I win stuff on the internet, my sister dear always says I’m so lucky and I always respond that it’s only because I enter so many giveaways that I’m bound to win one even if it’s just an e-book. The point is, I enter almost every giveaway on giveaway hops because I luuurve giveaways and I luuurve hoarding e-books! Mwahahaha! 

Anyway, enough rambling from me. Come, my friends! Take my hand and let us enter these blog giveaways together! Off we go on the yellow brick road!

Freedom to Read Giveaway Hop: Win $12 and ad spots!

Haven’t participated in a giveaway hop in a while, so I thought I’d celebrate the end of the first half of the year with one! Can you believe it’s already July?

Anyway, this here’s the Freedom to Read Giveaway Hop! Woohoo. This giveaway hop is hosted by Bookhounds and I Am A Reader, Not A Writer.

For my giveaway, I’m giving away $12 in PayPal cash and three Eye Candy ad spots!

Lemme explain my prizes first. The prizes for this particular giveaway hop have to be something a reader, author or blogger would enjoy. Since I can’t send books from Amazon or TBD at the moment, I decided to just give the cash for a book and a chance for bloggers and authors to promote their blogs or books on my blog for a month. :) Well, technically you can buy whatever you want with the cash, but I’m hoping it’s going to be a book. LOL.

Anyway, that’s it. The giveaway runs from today til July 9th. Enter via the Rafflecopter below! Thank you! :)

Review of Sunbolt by Intisar Khanani plus a $25 Giveaway

Today is the official release of Sunbolt by author Intisar Khanani. Last year I reviewed the author’s first book, Thorn, and I loved it, so I was excited to read the first book of The Sunbolt Chronicles. I was not disappointed! Sunbolt is an awesome piece of work.

Read on to know about the book and enter the awesome giveaway!

Sunbolt (Book One of the Sunbolt Chronicles)

The winding streets and narrow alleys of Karolene hide many secrets, and Hitomi is one of them. Orphaned at a young age, Hitomi has learned to hide her magical aptitude and who her parents really were. Most of all, she must conceal her role in the Shadow League, an underground movement working to undermine the powerful and corrupt Arch Mage Wilhelm Blackflame.

When the League gets word that Blackflame intends to detain—and execute—a leading political family, Hitomi volunteers to help the family escape. But there are more secrets at play than Hitomi’s, and much worse fates than execution. When Hitomi finds herself captured along with her charges, it will take everything she can summon to escape with her life. — Goodreads

Mini Giveaway: $10 in Amazon Kindle books or PayPal cash (An Offering to the Giveaway Gods, Part 2)

You know I’ve been pretty open about my luck with online giveaways. I can’t remember how many times I’ve won e-books, print books, Amazon gift cards, and even DVDs. I haven’t won major cash prizes just yet–crossing my fingers on this one (hah!)–but books and GCs are pretty cool so it’s been really really awesome.

Since my last Offering to the Giveaway Gods, I’ve been blessed with winning the usual e-books, paperbacks and gift cards, but the last couple of months have been extra awesome! I won a super cool giveaway and I’m so excited for the prize to arrive. It’s still in transit so I’ll post more when it gets here.

And so I’ve decided that I’m due for another “Thank you, Giveaway Gods! Giveaway!” I’m having a mini giveaway to celebrate. Up for grabs: $10 in Kindle books from Amazon or PayPal cash!

Due to some limitations from my end right now, I can’t buy Amazon gift cards or send books from The Book Depository at the moment so the winner will have to choose between $10 worth of Kindle books from Amazon (which I will buy from my remaining balance and then send as a gift) or $10 in PayPal cash.

That’s it. Enter using the Rafflecopter! Good luck, friends! :)
