In order to make a wee bit of room on my bookshelves (actually it's more like clear some floor space), I'm giving away four of my duplicate books. You may enter to win any or all of them. The giveaways are open internationally.
I'm also trying to see if Rafflecopter is better for giveaways. You may leave a comment telling me whether or not you like Rafflecopter. If you've had issues with it let me know too! You should be able to leave one comment for all of the books you'd like to win. No need to leave multiple comments! Another thing I am testing about Rafflecopter.
The Trouble with Fate
Mystwalker 1
St. Martin's Paperbacks, December 24, 2012
Mass Market Paperback and eBook, 368 pages
My name is Hedi Peacock and I have a secret. I’m not human, and I have the pointy Fae ears and Were inner-bitch to prove it. As fairy tales go, my childhood was damn near perfect, all fur and magic until a werewolf killed my father and the Fae executed my mother. I’ve never forgiven either side. Especially Robson Trowbridge. He was a part-time werewolf, a full-time bastard, and the first and only boy I ever loved. That is, until he became the prime suspect in my father’s death…
Today I’m a half-breed barista working at a fancy coffee house, living with my loopy Aunt Lou and a temperamental amulet named Merry, and wondering where in the world I’m going in life. A pretty normal existence, considering. But when a pack of Weres decides to kidnap my aunt and force me to steal another amulet, the only one who can help me is the last person I ever thought I’d turn to: Robson Trowbridge. And he’s as annoyingly beautiful as I remember. That’s the trouble with fate: Sometimes it barks. Other times it bites. And the rest of the time it just breaks your heart. Again…

Ghost Planet
Tor Books, October 30, 2012
Mass Market Paperback and eBook, 352 pages
When psychologist Elizabeth Cole arrives on a recently colonized planet to start a new job, she doesn’t expect to find her supervisor, Murphy, so incredibly attractive. She doesn’t expect to see alien beings, native to the planet, materializing as ghosts and following the “colonist” humans around. Most of all, she doesn’t expect to learn that Elizabeth Cole in fact died in a crash en route to this planet, and that she herself a reincarnated ghost-alien, connected symbiotically to Murphy—who, bound by the “Ghost Protocol” that he himself created, is not allowed to interact with or acknowledge Elizabeth in any way.
Confused, alone, and discounted as less than human, Elizabeth works to unlock the secrets of her own existence and fight the blatant discrimination of the Ghost Protocol. But as she draws closer to the truth, she begins to realize that she is only a pawn in the struggle for control of the planet. Oppressed by her ghost status and tantalized by forbidden love, Elizabeth may just be the one to upset the planetary balance….

Blood Winter
Horngate Witches 4
Pocket Books, December 26, 2012
Mass Market Paperback and eBook, 400 pages
NEW GAME. SAME RULES. SHE FIGHTS. THEY DIE.
Max always does her job, no matter how brutal and bloody. That’s how it’s been ever since she was enslaved by a witch, turned into a supernatural warrior, and assigned to protect the coven of Horngate. But her job just got harder. . . .
Waves of wild magic have returned much of the world to a time when fairy tales were real and danger now lurks behind every tree and bush. As winter descends and food, heat, and water are harder to come by, many have turned to Benjamin Sterling for protection. Leader of the Earth’s Last Stand cult, Sterling claims to be the Hand of God, but his power and charisma secretly come from a dark and terrible source. With devout followers eager to do his sadistic bidding, he has his eyes on Horngate and its magical inhabitants. To save those she loves, Max will knowingly walk into a trap. But when the cult strips Max’s soul bare for all to see, will even Alexander—her lover and her strength—remain? And if she were to lose him, what does it matter if she gains the whole world. . . .

The Qwillery: Where the awesome giveaways just don't stop! :D
ReplyDeleteI need room. There will be additional giveaways.
DeleteI like Rafflecopter as it's really convenient for both the host and those who enter. Plus you don't have to share your e-mail addy with the whole world that way either (which is something I'm not overly fond of when entering giveaways through comments only).
ReplyDeleteIt seems that way. Some sites just have you send an email. I always worry about 3rd party applications like this though. I have zero control if something goes wrong with them.
DeleteI do not mind Rafflecopter if they do not get carried away. Some have so many things to do I give up. Get them to three. That is fine.
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way. I'm trying to keep it to a minimum of things to do. I'll be experimenting with different things though. I need to continue to clear some shelf space. :-)
DeleteIt seems an efficient way of holding giveaways. It only becomes tedious or cluttered when there are too many options. I've also seen a few when you can't choose a latter option without performing the previous.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't a big fan of rafflecopter at first but I've got used to it now. I do get annoyed if there are hundreds of options for entry - keeping it simple is more encouraging - free, follow, facebook suits me! :-)
ReplyDeleteI agree that it seems a lot easier - probably for both the blog and the person entering. I also agree that I'm not a fan when there are many options. 3-4 seems to be the perfect amount for me.
ReplyDeleteI don't mind rafflecopter in a sense it's great to see if we already entered a giveaway or not but it's true that sometimes it can also give some troubles, recently ( last month) a friend got a rafflecopter hacked and it has been really difficult for her to get contact witjh someone competent to get back her account and select the winner ( she managed it though)
ReplyDeleteI like Rafflecopter, and I actually don't mind having lots of options. I think the main purpose of giveaways, at least for me, is to help the author promote their book, so I like to put things like "Add to Goodreads" or "Like on Amazon" to my Rafflecopters to help out. Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI want all because I'm greedy!
ReplyDeleteI have entered contests that utilized Rafflecopter but don't really use it myself.
Thanks for the awesome giveaway! I like rafflecopter but as some people have already mentioned, some bloggers get a bit carried away with all the "tasks". As someone who doesn't have/do facebook or twitter, I'm always appreciative when there are other "options" but under 5 is about good I think. I don't know if it really is, but it seems more "fair".
ReplyDeleteI like rafflecopter. I'm sure it helps the Author to handle the drawing. I once purchased three copies of a book. One from a book site, then another at the book signing and then an ebook copy. The only task I don't do it Tweet. I'm just not ready for it. Thanks for the give aay.
ReplyDeleteRafflecopter's okay. Don't like when there are too many tasks or required tasks. I agree with Erin about not using FB/Twitter, so it's nice where there are other options.
ReplyDeleteI like the rafflecopter but there are too many tasks. Not everyone twitters or has facebook. So that is not fair to them. Thanks for the giveaway. Tore923@aol.com
ReplyDeleteI have no issue with Rafflecopter any more. In the past, I would occasionally have problems depending on the computer I used, but that seems to have ended.
ReplyDeleteI like Rafflecopter when there aren't more than 4 tasks:

I'm still not sure about Rafflecopter, but these giveaways are providing some excellent feedback. Thank you everyone!
ReplyDeleteI think rafflecopter makes hosting and entering contests a whole lot easier!
ReplyDeleteI dislike Rafflecopter with a vengeance. I don't mind how you set it up, but most bloggers go overboard with the entries and points and such and give me a headache just trying to figure out what I should do when and where and how.
ReplyDeleteMost of the time I love rafflecopter. I hate it when there are SO many places and people to mark. It should be limited to a max of 5 or 6 tasks.
ReplyDeleteSo far I haven't had an issue with Rafflecopter. Most times it's set up to require the same entries as the site does without it.
ReplyDeleteI Like Rafflecopter... especially when I win!! Thanks for the great giveaway!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI am not a big fan of rafflecopter - it always seems too complicated and fussy to me.
Rafflecopter seems okay, but it is more complicated because you still have to leave a comment, plus click on all the buttons, rather than just leave a comment and be done.
ReplyDeleteI think my favorite thing about the rafflecopter is now having to leave my email and other things in the comment. I have no problem sharing that information with the blog I am following, but sometimes I end up with strange things to wade through. I also love to comment when I have something I think is worth saying :) I do not mind clicking the buttons and it definitely keeps track of what I have actually done - what I do not care for are the times when I am asked to jump through so many hoops that it is a little over the top, does that make sense o_O Thank you for your continued generosity and sharing with us.
ReplyDeletei didn't used to like the Rafflecopter, but now, i prefer it...as it lets you right away if you've entered a giveaway, whereas, the 'comment to enter giveaway', you have to scroll through all of the comments to see if you've entered......
ReplyDeletethanx for your many great giveaways!!!
I'm not entering the contest; just wanted to say I like rafflecopter.
ReplyDeleteI find the rafflecopter very easy to use. I can see what I have done & it's quick.
ReplyDeleteI don't like using rafflecopter because of all the tasks.
ReplyDeleteIt seems quite convenient for those entering the contests with the auto links & not having to post one's email (in the comments). Not a fan of the contests that lists multiple tasks tho.
ReplyDeleteRafflecopter it's really convenient, and i like it. I usually like entering the contests with rafflecopter, because it's very easy and fast :)
ReplyDeleteThank for chance to win!!
I'd thought I let you know that the rafflecopter Twitter entry isn't working. I tweeted yesterday and got my point, but now I'm back to 2 points and my point for tweeting is gone. This happened to both books I tweeted about.
ReplyDeleteI think from the point of view of someone entering, it's good, but I know from a blogger's point of view they can be troublesome.
ReplyDeleteLike it, except when you have to "tweet" befor you can do more entries!! I don't tweet. Thanks for the giveaways.
ReplyDeleterafflecopter is the best !!!
ReplyDeletethx u :)
I like rafflecopter- it makes entering contests so much easier. sdylion(at)gmail(dot)com
ReplyDeleteI have a love-hate relationship with Rafflecopter. I love that it's easy to enter contests, but I really hate the fact that I have never won anything whenever it's used -.-
