Welcome to the January New Release Giveaway Hop! Which, incidentally, I host now.
I will be giving away any January 2016 new release of your choice, up to $17. The giveaway is international, as long as The Book Depository ships there free of charge (find that out here!) Oh, and if you are a US winner, I will most likely ship from Amazon- because it will be there for you sooner!) If you prefer, I will send a Kindle edition via Amazon gift. (Please note: You may only chose ONE of these options!)
And now, the books! January is an exciting bookish month! So many hugely anticipated books are finally out in the wild! Which are you particularly excited for?
I have read a few of these- but shockingly, not the majority (I know, I couldn’t believe it either). But these are the ones I read and enjoyed, and the ones I am giddily waiting to read.
The ones I read and loved, you ask? Well, I adored Firsts, and really liked Underwater (which you can win at the review link!). The Mystery of Hollow Places and I See Reality were also pretty good. But the one that you absolutely, unequivocally cannot miss? The Love That Split the World. Holy book hangover! I adore.
hi 😀 thanks a lot for this giveaway. I am really curious about the new shaun david book because I’m such a fan ♥
I am waiting for winds of winter… I HOPE THIS YEAR IS THE YEAR.
I really hope to slip into the groove of reading what I want to read rather than reading whatever books I feel like I have to – like ARCs due by a certain date. And I really would like to get some sort of after-school job so I can start buying more of my own books (rather than borrowing from the library).
January is an AMAZING bookish month!! I absolutely loved FIRSTS as well, and I’m currently reading another January release (Once Upon a Kiss by Robin Palmer). So glad to hear you loved The Love That Split the World–I just received it for review and I am STOKED to finally get to it!!
SO MANY GOOD BOOKS. *hyperventilates quietly* I only just realised January is like HALF OVER and I’ve barely read any 2016 releases. I need get onto this. Ya know. Because I DON’T READ ENOUGH AS IS.
My bookish thing is to finish series, which I have started, and all the books are available. I will also try to read one physical book per week (we have so many)
I am hoping to get my license and a car so I don’t have to walk home from work, and of course so I can do more!!
Fingers crossed I’ll be attending my FIRST book event in Edinburgh!! 😀 I already have my ticket!!
Ideally…. I’d love to read the equivalent of a book a day. Oh, yeah, and have them all be good books
Thank you for the giveaway, Shannon! It would be hard to choose if I did win because … so many awesome books! I need to look more into Front Lines though! It sounds amazing. 🙂
There’s so many great books coming out this month! Wish I could buy it all xD I’ve only read 1 January book so far–Bookishly Ever After–and I love it so much!
I hope to make my blog even more awesome this year!!
I wish for your demise!!! Hahahahaha! (That was an evil laugh, by the way.) Oh, wait – no, I forgot, I totally DON’T wish for your demise. How about, I wish to meet you in person at BEA 2016? Yeah, yeah, I like that one better.
I hope I can visit my friends in England. ^.^
Thanks so much for the opportunity! *^*
I ‘m hoping to finish all the series I’ve started reading… I know, I’ts a kind of a fantasy, but I wish for it anyway! ;-P
A bookish thing that I really want to happen is for me to finally get over my TBR. I still have 20+ titles to go through and I hope to read all of them this year.
I hope to read many many many more books this year, well at least more than last year.
This year I am really hoping to read 100 books and get a lot better at scheduling posts in advance! Thanks so much for these giveaways, they are so awesome! 🙂
xo
I am sure there are so many new books coming out this year, and I hope that I will be able to read many of them. I hope also to find a few new authors while reading all the new books.
Thanks for the giveaway, Shannon! Victoria Schwab is coming to a signing near Detroit next week, and I’m crossing all my fingers that the weather cooperates and I’m able to go. I’m so excited! I’ve never been to an author event before.
i’m working on an event (sci-fi con)and i hope that it’s a great hit!!!
I would love to have an uneventful year, and to discover new indie authors.
i would love to see my mother recover fully from her stroke and be back as before
bookish side i would love to get up to date in all my favourite series ( at least owning all the books)
I just hope I can survive waiting for all those sequels coming out!!
I wish to attend the RT Convention in Las Vegas this year… and BEA!!!
Happy New Year! I would love, LOVE to win meet my future husband this year. 😉 I’m 33 and I’m feeling like it’s not ever going to happen. I pray it does though. Thank you for everything. I hope your wish happens this year too.
I want to read more, write, and blog more consistently. Actually, I just want to aim for more consistency in my life. Thanks for this giveaway!
I wish that I can read more, by learning how to control my time between work, home chores, social life and reading
One thing that I am hoping happens this year is catching up on all of the book series that I haven’t had time to read over the past few years. I’ve luckily already made a small dent in my book series pile. =D
I want to read more Fantasy/Sci-Fi books. Thanks for the giveaway
My goals are to diet/exercise and to read 25 new books this year! already making a good start to reaching both goals!
I actually want to read outside my favorite genres more.
Hmm..when it comes to bookish happenings, I would LOVE to be able to finish another manuscript and try and get an agent. 🙂 That’s one of my big life goals and all that. 🙂
Winning this giveaway?? Ahaha otherewise just read some really great books!
Win the lotto and finally buy myself a entire bookshelf worth of books!!
I’m really hoping my husband and I will get to take a vacation this year. We’re first time parents and a vacation would be well deserved…
I really hope I do well this year at the university, that’s really all I need to wish for, everything else is fine as it is I think 🙂
I hope this year i can go to a book signing of my fave authors
I hope to achieve the goal of reading at least 10 books this year.
That I read more books than I did last year. I really would love to get to 50 and I know that isn’t a lot to many but I only am able to read at night. I normally only make it to 45
I haven’t read any of these. I can never seem to keep up with releases when they happen. They all look so good!
I hope we get enough fruning so I don’t have to job hunt until next year.
I hope to review more books than last year. I read a lot of books but review writing is not my forte :/ I do know though that it helps the authors so I’ll try.
I’m hoping to finish up a draft (or get it started at least) for a story I have in mind 🙂 Also to keep blogging and meet new people <3 Definitely need to check out some of these titles, the covers look really cool!
This year I vow to read more books ♡ Thank you
I wish to have a new job; thanks for the giveaway. 🙂
What I want to happen this year: Read exactly what *I* want to read. Ignore the hype, turn a blind eye to the arc’s.
For this year i hope to finish high school and then i wish that i’ll be accept in a great college.
And for my bookish resolutions I will try to read at least one book for week.
Thank you for the giveaway. I will try to get my NetGalley feedback score over 80%. I need to stop requesting books unless I really want to read them
Thanks for the giveaway. Mostly I’d like to read more.
Def hope to read Winter by Marissa Meyer!
TRUTHWITCH! EEEEEK! I’m so excited for it!
2016 is the year I finish high school! 😀 So if there’s one thing I’m hoping for this year, it’s to do well in my major exams at the end of the year and hopefully get the results I want for college 🙂 *fingers crossed*
Your blog is gorgeous by the way! Thank you so much for hosting this review! Happy new year to you 😀
xx
I’m thinking of starting a book blog 🙂
True love would be nice. 🙂
I’m just hoping to stick with the blogging and improve my blog. I’m also working on actually doing some of the things on my wishlists (trying new recipes that I said I’d try and never did – stuff like that).
THANK YOU FOR THE GIVEAWAY ^_^ And I hope this year brings me many many books and a happy ending with my loved one 🙂 Or happy beginning? xD BUT MOSTLY BOOKS (sshhhh i didn’t just say that)
more books to read
I have spent too much time reading blogs, entering contests and playing games. I hope to spend more time reading and catching up on some favorite series I need to finish.
Thanks for the giveaway! My bookish goal is to start reading books for my love of reading, not necessarily just in order to read.
I hope to read 30 books this year. Last year I read 29, so I know that I can do it.
I hope t read at least 52 books this year!
I really hope I can whittle away at my TBR.
Hoping to get my own book finished and in the editing process.
Thanks so much for the giveaway! I have TONS of things I want to do this year. I’ve actually been able to get to a few of the easier ones (yay me!) so far… but plenty more to do.
I’m hoping to lose weight, and get back on track with exercising. I’ve set a goal that if I reach it, then I’m going to get another tattoo!
I need to catch up reading the pages, and pages of books on my Kindle. And, I need to post some book reviews. Then, keep this momentum going.
I hope to get at least one or two new bookshelves as I have so many books, lol 🙂
I hope that I win some books 🙂 And other good stuff for all of us…and no one’s demise lol!
Something I’d like to accomplish is falling back in love with reading. Unfortunately, blogging kind of drained me, so now I’ve stepped away, hopefully I’ll regain that passion 🙂
I’m hoping to keep my reading level up around 200 books for the year.
I really hope my husband gets a new car. Thank you for the giveaway.
I hope that I get to see my family more this year. I also hope I can reach more of my bookish goals!
There’s a student in my class who says he HATES to read. It’s my goal to find a book that he actually enjoys.
I’m really looking forward to read the final book in a bunch of series this year, I really want to see what happens 🙂
I am hoping to get married and move to a new house. Book-wise I’m hoping to read 50 books this year.
I’m hoping to find a good job and a place to live.
Am hoping to get my driving license! And to read more books!
I really, really need to win so pick me please!
I am retrying my goal of 100 books read this year. Last year, I didn’t make it. This year I hope I do!
My goals for this year are to start my own blog, to complete my goodreads reading challenge 2016 and to not always procrastinate… 🙂
It probably wont’ happen but I’m hoping to sort my TBR pile to something more manageable!
My goal is to read 100 books this year:)
My goal this year is to have my living room completely remodeled! Been a project that I wanted for awhile and I’m finally in a place where I have some time and extra money to get it done!
I hope to finish more series this year, especially ones that I have already started and haven’t gotten around to reading the rest.
I’m hoping this year that I’ll read all the books on my bookshelf that were presents from people. I have a terrible habit of being very excited for the book but then getting distracted and taking forever to get around to it.
Of all those books I’m super curious about Frontlines, I think the idea of what if women had fought and not men is mind boggling. *grabby hands*
I’m hoping to start a campaign to donate money to my local library that starts in March-ish. =) Thank you for the giveaway!
Mmm, so many hopes for the year. I hope to take my classes to meet more authors (we went to see Margaret Peterson Haddix a couple evenings ago). I hope my son’s transition to middle school next fall goes okay. I hope to learn more about blogging–specifically how to improve design elements.
I wish for a non-bookish thing this year… I wish for a baby! Most definitely! Thank you for the giveaway!
I’m hoping to go work in Germany this summer…
Mine would be that of just read a lot of amazing books.
I’m hoping to beat my reading goal from last year. My goal this year is 200, even though I set it to 150 on GoodReads.
I hope to read more nonfiction books this year.
That my writing gets published!!
