'Clear You'r Shelf' Giveaway Hop (US)




Hi there! "Clear You'r Shelf" Giveaway Blog Hop (June 15th - 20th) is hosted by I Am A Reader, Not a Writer
This is the first time I'm participating in a blog hop! I'm excited and a little scared (I know that's silly) but I'm afraid that I'll do something wrong. I know I already did, when signing up I didn't say whether this if for the US or IN. This is US only, sorry, I am a poor college student!
While I have had giveaways on my blog before, they were ebooks, this time I'm giving away printed copies. 

All of the books are USED but not ABUSED!  
I'm very picky with my books, whenever I let my family or friends borrow my books I send a bookmark with them because I hate it when people bend pages or 'dog-ear' them! They are in good or great shape. Only light shelf wear. All books are YA (Young Adult). 

Now for the good stuff, the prizes!  

I have three (3) packages that I'm begging you to take, and each has two (2) books and a signed bookmark in each package.
There will three (3) winners!
The only catch is that I'm not going to tell the names of the books, but instead give you clues. The packages are each named.  

Package #1 
'The Purple' Package 
Something purple on the cover of each book, it could be pictures, shapes or letters, just something purple on them
One book is a 2009 PB (paper back) with 563 paged book the other is 2011 HC (hard cover) with 325 pages
  The 2011 book is brand new, never even opened.   

Package #2 

'ARC' Package   

One book is a 2010 ARC  the other is 2012 ARC! 
The 2012 is a debut author
Little Brown and Company published one and the other is a HarperCollins release

Package #3
'Lved Books' Package
This one is easy, both books are books that I loved! One book is a PB (paper back) and the other is a HC (hard cover)
- One was released in 2011 and has 313 pages the other was a 2008 release with 374 pages
- Both books are dystopian


a Rafflecopter giveaway


I hope I didn't forget anything!

package #3, then 2,1
I love exploring every genre and reading new things..I have no idea what's instore for me but this is so exciting!

Charlotte said...

I think I'd go with 1,3,2!

Thanks for the giveaway!

Nori said...

I think I'd go 2, 1, 3.

I think the surprise element is fun, like a game show.

Thanks for the giveaway!

Tiffany said...

Hmmm my first pick would be Package 2 then package 1 and last but not least package 3. I think that it is exciting to have the books a mystery, it makes it so much more fun to get them in the mail, not knowing.

By the way, love your blog. I also LOVE the little cat widget soooo cute.

Thanks for the giveaway!!! :D

Lili said...

Thank you for the giveaway! I'd like to win 2, 3, then 1.

Idk if I like that this is a mystery or not. Part of me does, but part of me would be bummed if I somehow am lucky enough to win just to receive books I already own, y'know?

I liked your review of Exiled (: I told you that I liked Dark Companion, but I had the wrong goodreads page open. Ooops! lol

throuthehaze said...

I would like to win Package 2. Package 3 would be my second choice.
I like that what the books are will be a surprise :)

Vickie said...

I think I'd have to pick 2 then 1 then 3.
ugh I hate being in suspense about books! I tried to look through my to-read shelf on goodreads but I didn't find any that matched perfectly! >.<
I honestly have no idea about any of the books!
Thanks for the giveaway!

Anna said...

I would pick package 2, package 3 would be my second choice and Package 1 my last. I like that its a surprise :) Thanks for the giveaway!

Katie Marie said...

I thought it was really fun and unique how you gave hints and kept the names of the books a secret. I still don't have any ideas what they are, but if I won I'd love to get the third package. Cuz if you love them, chances are I will too! And I am beginning to become fascinated with dystopian! :-D

Marina said...

I would pick 2, 1, 3. And I have a guess for one of the titles in package 3--The Hunger Games.

Bookie Bee said...

I would pick package 3, 2, 1. Love the fact that the books will be a surprise.
Love your blog design!!

TayteH said...

In order of most favored.
Package #2
Package #3
Package #1

I'm not a fan of surprised books. Sometimes it's books that I already have and that my library has. It's kinda annoying.

Steph said...

They all sound awesome! I would love any package with YA in them - especially paranormal or dystopian. Thanks for the great giveaway!

I think I'd go 1, 3, 2.

I like that it's a mystery. There's something sort of exciting about the possibility of getting books you know nothing about. :)

Unknown said...

I'd like package #1. My second choice is package #3. I like the mystery feel to it.

molly.frenzel said...

I'd love to win 2, 3, then 1. I love that the packages are a mystery.

Unknown said...

2 and then 3 thanks for the giveaway

Megan said...

I'd definitely love to win the second package, then the third, then the first. I have a feeling the 325 page purple book is Shade by Jeri Smith-Ready and I'm almost a hundred percent sure that the 313 page loved book is Wither by Lauren DeStefano. I like that the books are a mystery! Thanks for this awesome giveaway! I've never been to your site until now, but, I must say that I absolutely love it! :)

Gi-Gi said...

I would go with either Package 2 or 3 and I love the whole mystery book i thing because it makes it exciting. You don't know what you'll expect and that's what makes it fun. Honestly I love mysterious stuff makes everything more exciting and fun. :)

Michelle said...

I'd go with Package 3,2, then 1 (blastoff!). Since Package 3 has some of your favorite books I'll go with that and hope that I love them too.

I don't mind that the books remain a mystery. I would really love to know what books are inside, but that's part of the fun. Every mystery box giveaway that I've ever won have never disappointed me. There's always something I want and others that I can give to friends.

It would be awesome if you post what the books are after the giveaway is over. Then people can see if they guessed correctly.

Thanks for the giveaway! :)

lbraley said...

arc package, I kinda like it but I really want to know what they are :)

London Judge said...

My package choices would be 3 then 2 then 1, but they all sound like they have some great books! I love the mystery of not knowing what the books are :)

Tobi said...

Purple then Arc then the 3rd

THanks for the giveaway! <3

Shelver506 said...

Since it's all a mystery, I don't really know what to pick! Probably pack 2 or 3. "ARC" is an exciting word, but so is "dystopian."

Unknown said...

Thanks for the giveaway! #3 is my first choice (yay dystopias!!!), but I don't have a preference after that. I don't really like the books being mysteries...how do I know if they're not ones I already have?!

Deb PelletierC said...

I like romance,
1) ARC
2) Loved books
Thanks ,Deb P

Tracy said...

I love surprises, so any of them would be great. I'm not a big romance reader, though. Thanks for the awesome giveaway... and for making it so fun!
Tracy A.J.

Catie said...

They all sound awesome but probably package 1! I love it that they are surprises :)

Kali Skittles said...

I'd probably pick the ARC package.

I know one of the books in the Dystopian is HG. Which is why I didn't choose that one, I don't need two copies! :)

Veronica W. said...

1. Purple
2. ARC
3. Loved

I like that they are a mystery but at the same time I don't like the idea of winning a book that I may already have read/own. Thanks! :)

Raechel @ Backwood Reviews said...

I would be more than happy with any of the packages. I love that they are a mystery. They make the giveaway much more interesting. I love your blog though, it's so purple (: haha thanks for the great giveaway.

Liese2 said...

I would like 2, 1, 3. I love that they are mysteries!

Angie said...

Agh!!

I'm so confused about the books!! There are so many possibilities, in my opinion!!! I'm kind of worried about what may happen.

I would like the order of 2,3,1

Ashley E said...

I'd pick #1, then #2, then #3. I kinda like the mystery... :)

1, 2, 3 in that order.

I like having no clue what is being sent- it's like Christmas come early.

Danielle B! said...

I like Two and One a lot. I would have picked Three, but I wouldn't want to get stuck with the Hunger Games, a series that I have already read and do own. Thanks for the giveaway! :D

Mia J. said...

I would like prize pack #1 then3,2.

I love surprises. That makes it even more fun.

Alicia said...

Thanks for doing the giveaway!

I really like the way that you are doing this, the mystery of the books makes it fun :)

I really like the color purple (which is admittedly not a rational way to choose books) so I would put the packages in order of 1, 2, 3 (or 1, 3, 2) :)

I'm usually happy with mysteries - depends on what kind they are :)

I personally love YA paranormals.

Anonymous said...

I'd like them in this order:

2
3
1

And, yeah, I think it's cool that they're a mystery. :)

~Enamored Soul~ said...

I think I'd love the "ARC Package", mainly because I'm a huge fan of ARCs... followed by the "Loved Package", and then the "Purple Package". (2,3,1 - in that order).

I think the idea of keeping them a mystery was absolutely FANTASTIC, and very unique. It makes the whole thing a little more interesting, and I absolutely LOVE your header, it is SO adorable. Now I know why there is a "Purple Package" amongst the choices...you're a fan of PURPLE! ME TOO!!! :D

Thank you for your generosity, and for sharing that which is yours with us. Also, for being part of this blog hop, and for this wonderful giveaway...

Id choose 1,3,2 .Thank you for this chance to win Hav e a great weekend

LisaILJ said...

I would pick 2, 1, 3. I don't know how I feel about it being a mystery. Usually mysteries are fun, but I worry that I already own what the mystery books are.

Jennifer said...

Hmmm, this is difficult! I guess 2, 3, 1. :)
The mystery is the fun part!! But yeah, I'm kind of worried if I want that book or if I own it!

Cricket said...

1, 2, 3 for me

hbjgvhuogyihpo said...

I'd pick 1,3,2! I really like the idea of not knowing what book you might be winning, a surprise is always nice. (:

Caroline said...

I'd pick 3 (Dystopian) first, then 2, then 1. I'd reeally like to win 3, because I know the HG book is in there and I desperately want to read it.
I kind of like the element of surprise, but I more feel annoyed, because I don't know what I'll be getting. But in this case, because of your hints, I have a pretty good idea what's in packages 1 and 3.

Sarah C. said...

I'd pick 2,1,3
I like that they are mysteries:)
Thanks for the giveaway!!

Suz Reads said...

I would pick #3 (first), then 2, then 1. I would rather know what books are in the prize so I know if they are books I've read or own!

Thanks for the awesome giveaway - I would love to win!

I really doesn't matter what kind of books. Everyone in my family are avid readers and it sounds like there is something for everyone.
