tgifbm! be mine, greenwillow books!

okay, lovely peoples.
it doesn’t get better than this when
it comes to my Thank Goodness It’s Free Books
Monday! giveaway! FIVE fabulous books including
two ARCs from my own rad publisher, greenwillow!
i’ve read all these novels, and they are fantastic!
WINNER TAKES ALL. yep. you want this.

in celebration of Black Hole Sun coming out in
paperback on 2/28/2012, you’ll get a copy of this
along with an ARC of Invisible Sun! both action packed
reads. get ready to take a twisty ride through mars!

blackholesun

Mars stinks

It’s hot. The air reeks of burning fuel; the rivers and lakes seethe with sulfur. In the shadows, evil men plot terror and beasts hunt the innocent. Out on the barren crags of the terraformed planet, there is nowhere to hide. No one to heed a call for help.

No one, except Durango.

invisiblesun

You don’t want to mess with Durango.
He left his crew behind.
His father is dead.
And he’s going to prove himself to Vienne,
even if he dies trying.
As he races through flood and fire and across a violent and terrifying planet,
there’s a 97% chance he’s going to die trying.
But who’s counting.

the much anticipated Masque of the Red Death ARC!
so happy to have bethany (whom i’ve known online since
before i was agented!) as a fellow greenwillowite!

masque

Everything is in ruins.

A devastating plague has decimated the population, and those who are left live in fear of catching it as the city crumbles around them.

So what does Araby Worth have to live for?

Nights in the Debauchery Club, beautiful dresses, glittery makeup . . . and tantalizing ways to forget it all.

But in the depths of the club—in the depths of her own despair—Araby will find more than oblivion. She will find Will, the terribly handsome proprietor of the club, and Elliott, the wickedly smart aristocrat. Neither is what he seems. Both have secrets. Everyone does.

And Araby may find not just something to live for, but something to fight for—no matter what it costs her.

Nightspell (hardcover), the companion to leah cypess’
debut, Mistwood. i loved this even more than the first!

nightspell

Here be ghosts, the maps said, and that was all.

In this haunted kingdom, ghosts linger—not just in the deepest forests or the darkest caverns, but alongside the living, as part of a twisted palace court that revels all night and sleeps through the daylight hours.

Darri’s sister was trapped in this place of fear and shadows as a child. And now Darri has a chance to save her sister . . . if she agrees to a betrothal with the prince of the dead. But nothing is simple in this eerie kingdom—not her sister, who has changed beyond recognition; not her plan, which will be thrown off track almost at once; and not the undead prince, who seems more alive than anyone else.

In a court seething with the desire for vengeance, Darri holds the key to the balance between life and death. Can her warrior heart withstand the most wrenching choice of all?

and finally, Entwined (hardcover), a fabulous retelling of the
twelve dancing princess. and is it me, or are all of
these covers stunning in their own ways? yes, yes they are. =)

entwined

Come and mend your broken hearts here.

Just when Azalea should feel that everything is before her—beautiful gowns, dashing suitors, balls filled with dancing—it’s taken away. All of it. And Azalea is trapped. The Keeper understands. He’s trapped, too, held for centuries within the walls of the palace. So he extends an invitation.

Every night, Azalea and her eleven sisters may step through the enchanted passage in their room to dance in his silver forest, but there is a cost. The Keeper likes to keep things. Azalea may not realize how tangled she is in his web until it is too late.

ridiculously awesome, right? right.

    Just as clarification the reason I would give the other four away are because I have them and would want someone else to read and love them too. Not because I don’t want them.
