ReplyDeleteThanks for the fun giveaway! I think I'm most looking forward to Night Broken by Patricia Briggs for 2014 :)
ReplyDeleteGreat giveaway. It reminds me of an anthology where you buy it because you absolutely adore one author (in the case Christine Warren) and you are a bit familiar with or have never heard of or have been meaning to read the other authors...Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteJeff VanderMeer's trilogy and his time travel anthology (with his wife)
ReplyDeleteSweeeeeeet, Chuck Wendig. I heard he makes some mean applesauce. ;)
