[Giveaway] Dreaming of Books Hop

Dreaming of books! I actually dream of bookish lands often. World building can become that enchanting and amazing to where I want to go there... FOREVER! These are a few of my favorite world building books.

  

Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling, because there is no bookish dream superior to Hogwarts.

Iron Fey series by Julie Kagawa, because I've never fallen in love with fae like I have these fae. I want to live in Winter Court so bad!

The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis, because good will always outweigh evil. Plus, Mr. Tumnus!

  

Firebird series by Claudia Gray, because she paints beautiful and multiple worlds for dimension hopping.

The Never Sky series by Veronica Rossi, because I don't want to live here but I felt like I did for a long time. The struggle.

Starbound series by Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner, because their home fell out of space. FELL out of space! And there's whispers which are mega creepy and may have given my a nightmare.

The giveaway is for a book of your choice, up to $15. This giveaway is open internationally pending the Book Depository ships to you for free. Check out the full giveaway rules in the menu above.

[Giveaway Blog Hop] Getting to Know You - Becoming Books!

Getting to know Becoming Books!

I started Becoming Books in March 2014 and it's been a really exciting ride. I started reviewing books as a way to brush up on my writing skills while reading AMAZING BOOKS! I went to journalism school and didn't go into a news track so this started out as practice grounds. I never imagined people would actually read the blog, comment and be so supportive during my newbie phase.

I went to college for an obscenely long time and missed the relaunching of YA lit. My junior or senior year mom mentioned a series called Twilight and said I needed to read it. As senioritis set in and the movie promos started coming out I decided to give it a shot. Mom mailed me the first book and I quickly binge read the series. Afterwards I wanted to read all things YA, all the time!!

A few years later after grad school a colleague and I binge read The Hunger Games, Divergent and Under the Never Sky together. In between we snuck in some Netflix binges as well ;)

Outside of reading/blogging I enjoy being outside, taking photographs and traveling. I LOVE traveling. I've made it a mission to take one out of country trip per year. Since 2007 I've only missed one year I believe... my upcoming trips include Europe #4 in May/June 2015 and Canada 2016.

Feel free to follow the blog and/or leave comments so I'm not the awkward kid talking to the vast interwebs :p

I'll be attending ALA-Midwinter so if you'll be there, don't be shy!

Open to US only, sorry! Check out the full rules before entering. 

 

The One by Kiera Cass is a signed hardcover with a bookmark and keychain

The 2014 ARC stack is Stitching Snow (Sci-Fi retelling), The Jewel (dystopian), Jackaby (historical) and Can't Look Away (contemporary issues).

[Giveaway] Beach Reads In August Hop

I love to read at the beach but I must have the following for maximum comfort:

Lounge Chair

Sunglasses

Paperback Books

Beverage

Snacks

With the above I'm set for the day, earlier this summer I got caught up reading Breath, Annie, Breath and ended up uber sunburned... so let's add sunscreen to the list too! I'm really lucky that the beach is a little over two hours from my house. One Sunday I woke up and drove as far east as I could. This is where I ended up... 

My Beach Reads Picks

For me, the perfect beach read is light but thought provoking with lots of warm and fuzzy feels and minimal crying feels. There's no ugly crying at the beach... haha. 

   

The giveaway is for your choice of paperback up to $10. 

Open internationally as long as the Book Depository ships for free. Check out the rules here.

Any cheating will null all entries.
