Two Books, Two Winners! Contest Alert!!!






It's been quite a while since I had a contest, hasn't it? Well, that's why I am here and posting on a Tuesday - to give y'all an opportunity to win books!!! How about two books? How about two winners? Sound good? I thought so!

So Random House Children's Books (a big huge publisher, if you didn't know) just recently announced two new paperback imprints - Bluefire and Ember. Bluefire is going to feature beloved fantasy novels, while Ember is going to present us with award winners and bestsellers. Click on the names of the imprints to go directly to their websites to learn more!

Imprints can help you to know whether or not you're gonna be interested in the title. For examply, some of the authors that will be featured under Bluefire are: Tamora Pierce, Isobelle Carmody, Esther Friesner, Eoin McNamee, Henry Neff, N.D. Wilson, and Janni Lee Simner.

While under Ember you're gonna see options like: The Alchemyst; Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret; The Chocolate War; Fallen; Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist; and The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.

Awesome right?! Right. So where does the winning books come in? Well, you get the opportunity to sample a little bit of both imprints! I will be giving away two prizes, each with two books, one from Ember and one from Bluefire, courtesy of Random House.

Prize One:

Torment - by Lauren Kate (Ember)
Thief Eyes - by Janni Lee Simner (Bluefire)

Prize Two:

The Necromancer: The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel - by Michael Scott (Ember)
The Ring of Five - by Eoin McNamee (Bluefire)

All you have to do to enter is comment on this post between today and midnight PST on Tuesday, July 5th with your email (to contact you if you win, so don't forget!) and the answer to this question: Which imprint (either Bluefire or Ember) do you think you'll be reading more often, and why?

I'd love for you to help spread the world as well! The more people who enter, the better!!!

I'll be selecting and notifying winners probably around July 14th.

Thanks for participating and happy reading!!!

Hmmm... Ember or Bluefire.
Which would I read most? Likely it would be Bluefire, as I do love my Fantasy.

I'll probably read more from Random Houses Bluefire imprint (I'm a huge fantasy book lover), but also read a lot from the Ember imprint as well.

Thanks for the really awesome giveaway (and the heads up on their new imprints). :)

I think I'd read Ember actually because even though they are bestsellers, they have more variety. I don't read a TON of fantasy anyway.

Is this US only? (I'm Canadian) I think I'd read Ember more because fantasy is not my most favourite genre. I mean, I still enjoy it and all though.

Hi Everybody!!! Thanks so much for entering! Make sure and let all your friends know, and keep the entries coming!

Now to BrittanyGale and all other potential Canadian entrants: I am asking Random House if they will ship to Canada or not. Unfortunately they're all at ALA right now, so I probably won't have an answer till Monday or Tuesday - but I will let you know! Until then, I consider you to be entered!

Thanks again everybody! :)

Thanks for this giveaway! I would love to win Prize 1! From their descriptions, I think I'll be reading books from Both Bluefire and Ember but maybe more from Ember because I usually read the bestsellers.

Hi everybody! Got word back from Random House regarding shipping to Canada - unfortunately, they are unable to do so. I'm sorry! But if you have a friend and family member in the US, we could ship it to them and they could, in turn, ship it to you.

And - Happy Birthday hotcha12! Hope it was a great one! :)

Hi Everybody! Happy Monday!

Okay, so this morning I randomly picked 2 winners and sent them out an email - so take a look at your email inboxes...

The 2 winners are.... (drumbeat please)...

Emily a.k.a. WillowRaven & Suz!!!

Let's all celebrate for these two! Now, I need to hear back from both of them in a week's time, or another winner will be selected - which hopefully won't happen!

I want to thank all of you so much for entering this contest and spreading the word! You are all awesome, and I hope all of you continue to follow the Bibliophile Support Group (or BSG) to read reviews and post your thoughts in the comments section - we bibliophiles need to stick together!

Thanks again - and lets all say a big YAY for Emily and Suz!!!

First Step: Admit You Have a Problem

Hi fellow Bibliophiles! I have been rather neglectful to this blog... instead continuing to stay buried in a book as I have during the holidays. I'm hopeful that most of you have been doing this too and can easily accept my apology. Have I been reading? Um, yeah! (Translation: duh.) Just haven't been able to pull myself away long enough to actually WRITE about what I'm reading. Lol. But that's me, a bibliophile, an addict, an addict who's fallen off the wagon and fully embraced her love of reading - especially with all this free time to do so!!! I've also been watching awesome holiday movies, eating yummy, but bad-for-me, food and hanging out with the people I love best! You too? I hope! ;) Anyway, I will return with a new book review next week, most likely on Monday or Tuesday. Thanks for your patience and keep reading!!!

Author Q & A - Jan Eldredge Stops By!

Next Wednesday y'all will be getting my oh-so-humble opinion of Evangeline of the Bayou , the Summer 2018 Kids' Indie Next List selection! (That means it was picked via booksellers at independent bookstores countrywide.) Until then, I have a Q&A with the Louisiana born and raised author herself: Jan Eldredge! (Don't forget to come back next week for my review!!) A Conversation with JAN ELDRIDGE Author of Evangeline of the Bayou 1) The glossary in the back of the book is so helpful! Where did you learn about all these creatures? Which creature from the book is your favorite? I have a small, but growing, collection of books about mythical creatures around the world. If I couldn’t find what I was looking for there, I researched library books, online websites, and the occasional documentary. Something that really surprised me as I started learning more about mythical monsters was the number of different cultures that share very similar ...
