NEWLY RELEASED MG AND YA BOOK GIVEAWAY

Happy Monday Everyone! Today I'm doing a newly released MG and YA book giveaway. It's an opportunity to spotlight some new books I can't otherwise feature, give you another chance to win recent debut author books I've shared, and shout out again about followers' newly released books.

I'm doing this because there is no giveaway hop this month. I'm starting this feature on a trial basis and will continue it if I get a good response.

So here are your choices. I've got a combination of MG and YA books and recent books by followers that I hope you're looking forward to reading.  If you want an earlier book in any of these series, you can pick that instead as long as it doesn't cost more than the book here. You can find descriptions of these books on Goodreads.










 
If you haven't found a book you want, you can win a $10 Amazon Gift Card.



To enter, all you need to do is be a follower of this blog and leave a comment telling me what book you want or that you want the gift card through August 31st. If your e-mail is not on your Google Profile, you must leave it in the comments to enter the contest.

If you mention this contest on Twitter, Facebook, or your blog, mention this in the comments and I'll give you an extra entry. I will also give you an extra entry if you follow me on Twitter and let me know this. You must be 13 years old or older to enter. This giveaway is International as long as the Book Depository ships there for free.

Here's what's coming up:

Monday, August 26th I have an agent spotlight interview and query critique giveaway with Melissa Richeson

Wednesday, September 4th I have an interview with debut author Mara Rutherford and a giveaway of her YA fantasy CROWN OF CORAL AND PEARL and my IWSG post

Monday, September 9th I have an interview with debut author Sara Faring and a giveaway of her YA psychological thriller THE TENTH GIRL

Monday, September 16th I have an agent spotlight interview and query critique giveaway with Marlo Berliner

Monday, September 23rd I have a guest post by Martin Cavannagh from Reedsy

Hope to see you on Monday, August 26th!

Nick Wilford said...

I tweeted! Hard to pick, but I think I'd go for These Divided Shores. Great giveaway.

Beverly Stowe McClure said...

Vow of Thieves by Mary E. Pearson. I love her work. So many books, so little time to read. Have a great weekend.

Stephen Tremp said...

My Life as an Ice Cream Sandwich pops off the page right away. I'd pick it up off the shelf or read a free sample from Kindle. Great title!

Veronica Jorge said...

I would like to win a copy of The Other Side of Happpy. My e-mail is verojorg@rcn.com.

Fundy Blue said...

You impress me so much, Natalie! You have so much going on, and you are so organized! Your giveaway is great, but I don't dare enter. I have several IWSG books stacked up to read, and I'm going through a major house reorganization in case we put our house on the market. Thanks again for visiting my blog on IWSG Day!

Fundy Blue said...

Okay, I just read your IWSG post which also contained your interview with Gabrielle Bryne and her book "Rise of the Dragon Moon." I, too, use a lot of science in my writing and often see the setting as a character. I find it hard to separate characters from their setting, and setting often leads me into a story. So, okay, I'll go for "Rise of the Dragon Moon." My email is mlouisebarbour@gmail.com. If I am lucky enough to win, I'll do my best to read it quickly! Thanks for the opportunity!
