Fate's Edge Giveaway

Update: this contest is now closed. The winner will be posted today, Thursday December 8.

Fate's Edge by Ilona Andrews came out this week. My friend, Amanda Carlson (I gushed about her here), was so excited she went out and bought it, forgetting about a certain pre-order. That means she has one extra, shiny, pretty, paperback. And so, lucky readers, Amanda has graciously agreed to a little giveaway here for her extra copy of Fate's Edge.

We're making this one easy - just leave a comment below to be entered. You could also talk about your favorite book this year, or one that you are looking forward to in 2012, but any comment will do. You have until 11:59PM on Wednesday December 7, 2011 to enter.

Updated to add: Yes, this contest is international! Woohoo!

If you have trouble leaving a comment (as happens sometimes) just e-mail me at kindleaholic AT gmail.com.

I'll pick the winner using random.org.

I'll announce the winner Thursday, and the winner has until Saturday December 10 to respond with contact info so that Amanda can send you the book, or I'll pick a new winner.

Thank you, Amanda!

To keep up to date on Amanda and her upcoming book, Full Blooded (as well as some helpful writer tips) check out her website. She's on Facebook and Twitter too!

And here's a link to my review of Fate's Edge - awesome good fun!

    There are a bunch of books that I'm looking forward to next year. Everneath by Brodi Ashton and Fair Game by Patricia Briggs. If only I had more time to read. :(

    I feel in love with the Kate Daniels series and that love just extended to her Edge books. So excited whenever a new one comes out because it means I have yet another one to love!

    If this is an international contest, I would like to enter. I love her Kate Daniels series, and have some catching up to do on her other books, so winning one would be great. Thank you.

    I have a TBR pile so high that one day it will fall over a crush me - I'll be found under a pile of paperbacks with one in each hand and another over my face. Kindle should use that in their advertising... "Avoid accidental book pile avalanche!" But I digress, I've found so many great recommendations since finding your blog, I thank you. Winning an Ilona Andrews would be icing on the cake (she's an automatic top of pile for me!). ::fingerscrossed::

    Ooh, so happy that I followed your comment on Stellar4 over here: I've read the whole Magic series, and the first one of the Edge series, but I'm currently a grad student so all book purchases are delayed for a few years. I'd love to read it, though!

    Favorite book this year, that's a tough one but I might go with Prince of Thorns by Mark Lawrence.

    Thanks for the giveaway! My two favorite reads of the year are Hounded by Kevin Hearne and My Life as a White Trash Zombie by Diana Rowland. I can't choose a favorite between the two because they were so different I loved them both in their own ways.
