How Would You Like to Win Some ARCS? I've Got 7
So, I have a few ARCs....

Um, a lot, actually.

I was going to hang on to them until I made 500 blog friends, but after some complaints that I've been teasing you with my reviews for ARCs that won't be out for a while, I thought maybe it was time to just hold a contest already. Why wait on arbitrary milestones, yeah? So here you go! I have 7 gorgeous ARCs for you.

Note that MATCHED is signed. I know, right? I wanted to keep it for myself (OMG, it's SIGNED!), especially because Ally was one of the nicest authors I've ever met, and like the other books in this pile, I was blown away by it. But I believe in small acts of mercy, random acts of kindness...that bit. Seriously. Why hog something so beautiful to myself? That goes for all the ARCs here.

The only thing I ask with these ARCs? If you win, be sure to give them a review, okay? Authors really want to know what you think of their books--especially if you love a book, make sure you let others know. It's a tough business, folks. Authors have to do a lot of marketing themselves now. And when your time comes, you'll want others to do the same for you. Plus, that's the point of an ARC--to spread the word about an upcoming release. Goodreads is a great place to start. I'll be writing up a review for every one of these books shortly. But just so you know, every single one of them is amazing.
