I just finished reading one of the best book series I've read in a long time. It's one of those can't-put-it-down-for-one-second kind of reads.
I walked around depressed for a week when I finished because I didn't want it to end.
Seriously. It's that good.
So, to share the love, I'm giving away one brand-new, never-read copy of Twilight. It's just the first book, but it should be enough to get youaddicted hooked started. (If you've already read it, enter anyway -- it would make a great Christmas gift.)

please enter me! i really want to get started with the twilight series. have you read the Undead series by MaryJanice Davidson? It's vampire chick lit, very funny.
ReplyDeleteGirl, I almost gave this book away myself. I started it on Friday night and can't stop! I should finish today. It is SO good!!!
ReplyDeleteI want to enter your giveaway...if I should win, I'll pass it on to a friend!
Is your computer fixed?
I should do a giveaway on my blog. They are so much fun. Maybe after I complete these crazy Halloween costumes that I decided to make. I haven't read a book in awhile that wasn't a craft book, sad I know. I have been enjoying on a purely entertainment, not high-brow literature level, the mystery books by Sarah Graves. They are set in Maine, and pretty humorous. Although, I'm not sure if you have had to live or visit Maine in order to get some of the jokes.
ReplyDeleteOr, I just heard an interview this morning on NPR for the book called "Icarus at the Edge of Time." It's a board book of all things that takes the classic Icarus fable, and applies it to Einstein's general theory of relativity. I can't wait to read it to my 6 and 4yos. It uses images from the Hubble space telescope and looks very cool.
I recommend Four Wives by Wendy Walker. It's like Desperate Housewives, sort of (I don't know - we have no TV hee hee).
ReplyDeleteI'd like to read the Twilight series. Thanks for opening this to everyone. You made someone happy. :-)

I'm very curious about all this Twilight buzz.
ReplyDeleteI'm currently reading The Shack by William p. Young on loan from my MIL. So far so good, but I don't have much time to read lately.
I've been wanting to read this one. From what I've heard it's a vampire book? There's another series I've read in the same genre that I liked. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Dagger_Brotherhood
ReplyDeleteyou might like it.
If you loved Twilight, you might just love A Great And Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray. On the surface, they're nothing alike. A Great and Terrible Beauty is set in Victorian England at a boarding school...but all is not as it seems. The book is full of magic and growing romance that is later developed in the other books.

I have been wanting to read this series. I just finished Blue Heart Blessed. I recommend it. Thanks for entering my name!

I have been wanting to read this series. I would suggest anything by Debbie Macomber. She has several series.
ReplyDeleteI'd love a copy of Twilight, it'd make a great Christmas present for my sister. I recommend Poison Study by Maria V. Snyder.
ReplyDeletescreamingicecube at bellsouth dot net
I hope that you are going to read the rest of the books in the series. My sons (17 & 21) and I are reading the series. I would love to give Twlight as a gift!
ReplyDeleteA Passion Most Pure by Julie Lessman was excellent.
I've seen Twilight all over the place and would love to get hooked.
ReplyDeleteI'd recommend that you try The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova
http://www.amazon.com/Historian-Elizabeth-Kostova/dp/0316011770
It's a wonderful Dracula novel, but very literary, not cheesy. It's one of my favorite books, and as an English major in college, I've read tons!
Definitely try The Host next! Would love LOVE to win~
ReplyDeleteylin.0621[at]yahoo.com
Are you for real! I have been dying to read this book - and here you are being so generous and giving it away!
ReplyDeleteI enjoy Jodi Piccoult - have you read anything by her?
I haven't read the Twilight series but I have heard a lot about it! I lead two Christian book clubs, and the latest book we read that we loved was In Search of Eden by Linda Nichols. Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteYou may enjoy the many Janet Evanovich books. She's due to come out with a new one soon, "Foul Play" :)
ReplyDeleteOooh, I'm such a sucker for a book giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI just started Friendship Bread - seems good (I'm on page 7, lol).
:-)
I've heard this is good! I'd love to read it.
ReplyDeleteRight now I'm reading Lion Among Men, the third in the Wicked series. It is good, but I think it's only compelling because I've already read the first two and this volume is trying to unravel more of the mysteries behind those. If you haven't read the series, though, it's a good one.

I was just asking your friend over at Barefoot if she had this book! I have it on hold at the library but would love to read it sooner!
ReplyDeleteThe last book I loved was The Other Boleyn Girl. More recently I read Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult and I didn't like it much.
Maybe you can read her latest book - The Host. I have it, but haven't gotten to reading it yet. I haven't read her Twilight series yet!

ReplyDeletegive_me_a_latte at yahoo
I was at my moms and went through her books. I picked one up by Tami Hoag and was done with it in 3 days. I can't wait to read more of her books. It was a murder mystery and oh my gosh, the turns and twists were unreal. I loved it.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the great give away! I started to read Twilight and had to return it to the library....somebody recalled it. Made me sooo mad. Now the list is never ending to get it back. I am too broke to buy it for myself so I asked for it for Christmas.
ReplyDeleteI like the O'Malley Series by Dee Henderson.
I've heard of the Twilight series but haven't read any yet. I love anything by James Patterson or Jonathan Kellerman.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win your great giveaway!

Eat, Pray, Love was a great book! It is very personal.
ReplyDeleteI liked the Left Behind series for the simple reason that it was entertaining and there was always another book to read...so I put off that depression of finishing a book for a longer period of time.
ReplyDeleteowatz (AT) telus (DOT) net
AWWW, I love Twilight! Have you read The Host? It's also by Stephenie Meyer. I might even like it better than Twilight, it's a hard choice. Count me in!
ReplyDeletetzaddi_sister(at)yahoo(dot)com
I haven't read this book, i would recomend every Storm by Lori Wick.
ReplyDeleteMy sister keeps telling me the twilight series is the best ever- Obviously the people at the local library think so because the waiting list is looooooong!
ReplyDeleteI just finished reading "Pillars of the Earth" by Ken Follet that I enjoyed there were a few parts that were a little grafic for me...
Thanks so much for the AWE-some Give-oh-Way!

I know it is not a new book, but my favorite book of all time is The Count of Monte Cristo. I have read it multiple times.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading The Other Boleyn Girl by Phillipa Gregory, then after you read it, you can watch the movie.
ReplyDeletemichelleharrod at hotmail.com

I loved My Sister's Keeper and the Confessions of a Shopaholic Series. The first is more serious and pulls at your heart and the second is funny but totally girly chick lit.
ReplyDeleteOh you should try the Temeraire series by Naomi Novik!
ReplyDeleteI finished "The Girls" recently, interesting read.
ReplyDeleteAs for twilight, everyone I know seems to be reading it. Thanks for a chance.
Would love this! Have you read the Stephanie Plum series? Very Funny.
ReplyDeleteI also really liked Wicked Lovely & the 2nd book, can't remember name something with Ink the title though.
I love this book and would love to give a copy to my sister to read for Christmas. I highly recommend The Goose Girl by Shannon Hale which I just finished reading. I just couldn't put it down.
ReplyDeleteThis is my favorite book! Would love to give a copy to my mom.
ReplyDeleteA series I really like is the Gallagher Girls series by Ally Carter. It's about teenage girls who go to a spy school.
have never read, though i've heard much about it. i always loved the chronicles of narnia series, and w/ the movies coming out it's nice to have the book to read before seeing the movie
ReplyDeleteSomething Borrowed by Emily Giffin, think it is a better suited book than Twilight!
ReplyDeleteI will post a review of it on my blog quite soon!
I really liked the Twilight books too. Now I started on "An Assembly Such as This" by Pamela Aidan. It is the 1st in a set of 3 about Darcy's perspective on the events of "Pride and Prejudice". I'm liking it so far!
ReplyDeleteI highly recommend The Time Traveler's Wife. I think the author's name is Audrey Niffenberger.
ReplyDeleteThe "Prey" series by d McBain are pretty good.
ReplyDeletei have not read this series yet... my favorites tend to run along sci fi . i love ender's game by orson scott card

ReplyDeleteThe Election by Jerome Teal (I think this is the authors name) was the last real good book I read a month or so ago. semtaylor@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteI have heard about this series, and think it would be a great read. One of my favorite books is the SciFi On the Beach by Nevil Shute...given the world we are living in today, it really opens your eyes and makes you think.
ReplyDeletemicaela6955 at msn dot com

ReplyDeleteMy recommendation is the Janet evanovich Stephanie Plum series :)
Thank you for the great giveaway!

This is the best book I've ever read. I have the whole series all four books. I would love to get a copy for my sister in law. IT would make a great Christmas gift. I would recommend The Host by Stephenie Meyer. It's different from twilight , but very good as well. And for those of you who don't know the Twilight movie will be in theaters Nov. 21st. Thanks for the great giveaway!
ReplyDeletehottmomma_03@yahoodotcom
Yay another fellow stephenie meyer reader! I loved all four books and was quite sad when they ended :( I already read them obviously, but I love your suggestion and they would indeed make a great christmas present if I win I already know who I'll give it to :D
ReplyDeleteA great book I'm pretty sure you'll enjoy is Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones it is so lovely and a great romantic story it's so cute!
You might also enjoy Libba Bray's series A Great and Terrible Beauty, Rebel Angels, and The Sweet Far Thing I recently read them and was hooked!! (I'm giving away the ebooks if you'd like to enter)
Oh, you should also try The House of Night series another vampire story/stories by P.C Cast and Kristin Cast these books are pretty darn good they won't get you as addicted as the twilight books but they are good reads nonetheless :D
Ooooh another book you should really really read is Elsewhere by Gabrielle Zevin it's a nice/lovely/sad story about the death of a girl and her life after death if that makes sense it's a great short book
If you haven't read the Harry Potter books I suggest you get started they are AMAZING!!!
lc_intocable [at]yahoo [dot] com
I love historical fiction so my recomendation would be any of the 'royal' books by Philipa Gregory, including the Other Boelyn Girl (so much better than the movie!). The Queen's Fool has been my favorite so far.
ReplyDeleteWell, I've really been enjoying books by Joel Rosenberg. The first one in the series I'm addicted to is "The Last Jihad." Edge of your seat kind of reading!
ReplyDeletefrog123 (at) cyipom (dot) net
If you like Twilight, you might like Evernight by Claudia Gray. It is also about vampires and will be a series. Book 1 is the only one out so far. The second book Stargazer, comes out in March. Thanks for the giveaway!

ReplyDeleteAwesome wonderful series!!! Cannot wait to see the movie on the 21st. An author that I really like,is Jodi Piccolt. My Sister's Keeper is really good.

Jennifer Rardin - Jaz Parks series
Rachel Vincent - Werecat series
Yeah, I'm a bit of a urban fantasy fan. I have more suggestions, but those are my main faves. Let me know if you want more.
Thanks! :0)
Very similar to Twilight (or so I've found so far, reading Twilight right now) is Charlaine Harris' Sookie Stackhouse books. More adult, but similar.
ReplyDeleteI just finished Written in Blood (Sheila Lowe). It was really good!
ReplyDeleteI love to read and I'm all over the place. I love Sophia Kinsella's Shopaholic series but also love anything by James Patterson or John Grishman. I also enjoy a good Jane Green book ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm a big fan of Christopher Moore - I just finished his 2 part set about vampires: Bite Me (A Love Story) & You Suck (A Love Story). I highly recommend them. Entertaining on every level & an easy read!

I've heard so many good things about Twilight! I'm excited to read it! My recommendation: Anything by Jodi Picoult, but my favorite by her is My Sister's Keeper. OR The Secret Life of the Bees by Sue Monk Kidd.
ReplyDeleteI'm giving away Between, Georgia by Joshilyn Jackson. It was SO good. All three of her books great. I've resisted the Twilight bandwagon so far but would love to see what the fuss is about.
ReplyDeleteyour right, these are awesome books. I am going to read The Memory Keepers Daughter next, I hear it is fantastic
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing

I just started reading the alphabet series of dectective books from Sue Grafton. It starts with A is for Alibi, and goes from there! So far so good =)

ReplyDeleteJodi Picoult books are the best fiction out there.
Also Francine Rivers has an amazing historical fiction trilogy called The Mark of the Lion.
Margaret George has really good historical fiction too, but her books are LONG.
Thank you for doing this!
Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card
ReplyDeleteI have never read the twilight series. Have you read the Eragon series? Brinsingr is the new book and it is really action packed with elves, dwarfs, dragons and tons of stories.
ReplyDeletehmmm, I have heard so very much about the Twilight series, it would be good to read the first book and see what it's all about! You need a recommendation? Ermmmmm, I wont inflict my management books on you!! How about Four Fires by Bryce Courtenay - I liked it and so did Mum!
ReplyDeleteAnything by Kay Hooper is really good and Twenty Wishes by Debbie Macomber is also really good. Thanks for the giveaway!
