I would love to win any of them because I might discover an author that I love and would have never read otherwise. I would like to win The Warrior Heir by Cinda Williams Chima. I have seen this series popping up and I am interested in reading it. I love Rae Carson and her series The Girl of Fire and Thorns.
I can only narrow it down to two. I would love to win either the Love and Other Foreign Words prize pack or the books by Natalie Richards.
I would be ecstatic if I won The Glass Arrow by Kristen Simmons. I've heard really good things about this book and it seems like a really interesting take on the dystopian genre.
I would be glad to accept any prize! Specifically, I would love the prizes from Margaret Peterson Haddix, Jennifer McGowan, Kristen Simmons, Michael Buckley, Mindee Arnett, Mindy McGinnis, or Rae Carson. But honestly, I would be happy with any prize! Thank you so much for putting this together 🙂
This is a great giveaway. It was so hard to pick just one prize.
I'm excited to see Mindy McGinnish, Mindee Arnett, and Rae Carson on the blog!! (also totes don't really have a preference for a prize). And yay, this event sounds awesome and I can't wait to read all of the posts. 🙂
I must not read enough if I do not recognize so many titles of one of my favorite genres. So many authors go unheard of with entire creations and masterpieces under their belts. The concept of so many different worlds amazes me every time I step into a book!
Rae Carson and Cinda Williams Chima!! They are brilliant fantasy authors and I love love LOVE their books with a passion. Thank you for the giveaway!
There are too many I want to win! If I had to choose only one thing I could win, however, I would choose a book. Any book is fine, because these authors are awesome! <3 🙂
Kristen Simmons just came to my school and she's so awesome! Now I desperately want to win the Glass Arrow
I didn't realize that many of my favorite authors were from Ohio! And I would love a copy of The Glass Arrow! I am going to read The Handmaiden's Tale for school next year and would love to do the comparison. Thank you!
Oh wow I had no idea Rae Carson was from Ohio!! I love her books so much and The Bitter Kingdom was my favorite of the series 🙂
