If you've been following my blog, then most of you already know that Wednesdays are when I post book reviews. Since I just finished reading The Moon Coin by: Richard Due last night, I knew there was no way I was going to be able to have a review done by today. So I started thinking...

Each of these books have either already become a movie/tv series, or the movie version is in the works/coming out soon! Depending on the responses I get, I may choose a 2nd winner. We shall see.

    i choose : the host and water for elephants.
    both for kindle.

    I chose these two books because they are some of my favorites. I read water for elephants before i saw the movie and instantly fell in love with the book and the same goes for the host (even though the movies hasnt come out yet).

    Thanks for the giveaway.
    Hope I win.
    Fingers and anything else i can cross is crossed.

  4. Would love to win "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" and "The Girl Who Played with Fire" in .epub because I've been interested in reading these for awhile, and it's a genre I enjoy! I follow with GFC (Katy S). Thanks for a great giveaway! katy.sozaeva (at) gmail.com

  5. Hello,
    Firstly thanks for a great giveaway!
    I follow via GFC as Jeanz
    My e-mail address is jeanz@btinternet.com
    I would like kindle/mobi format please
    I would love to win Sarah's Keys - It sounds like am amazing book, I have not come across it before but will definitely look out for it now.
    For a second choice it would be Water For Elephants as I wanted to go to the cinema to see this (so I have heard of this) but am unable to go to the cinema as I have Menieres disease so cannot cope with the sounds/experience etc of the cinema so I have to either buy the book or wait for the dvd!

    Thankyou again
    Jeanz

  6. Hi! Thanks for the great giveaway! I think I set myself up correctly to follow your blog. I don't follow many so hopefully I answer your questions correctly:

    GFC (i don't even know what that stands for) but I think it is either Katie or Katie HB

    Email: k.hupke@mchsi.com

    Form: Epub (nook compatible)

    Books:
    1. Breaking Dawn
    2. The Lucky One

    Why:
    I picked these books for a few reasons. 1- Quite honestly, I already own a lot of these books and I don't have either of these on e-reader form.
    2- I don't believe I have read a Nicolas Spark book and I thought I wouldn't mind trying one of his if it were free.
    3- I love the Breaking Dawn book but I don't have it on e-reader, only hard copy, and I really want to get the books on my Nook!

    Thanks again for the great giveaway, hopefully I gave you all the info you wanted! I know I was follower 17 :)

  7. Awesome giveaway! :) My GFC name is Miri - and it's my 'real' name as well. My email adress is miriamreads@web.de

    I'd love to win War Horse and The Lucky One in either mobi or PDF as I have a Kindle.

    I chose two different books. I read a lot of paranormal lately, so I'd love something more contemporary. A light romance is exactly what will take me through the upcoming month of university. That is why I picked The Lucky One. And War Horse sounds just like such a great and impressive story, that I'd really love to read it.

    Thank you so much for this giveaway! :)

    I'd love Game Of Thrones and A Clash Of Kings in epub format.

    I haven't had the chance to check out the TV series yet and I always like to read the book before seeing the show/movie. Everyone I've seen mention the show loves it so it's definitely peaked my interest.

  9. Hello
    Very cool competition.
    My GFC is IanSRutter. I think that's what you're after.

    Email is i_rutter@yahoo.co.uk

    The two books are Game of Thrones and The Lucky One
    Why?
    The screen adaptation of Game of Thrones was wonderfully created with great acting by Sean Bean and Lena Headey. The show is deep, complex and imaginative.

    The Lucky One is written by Nicholas Sparks. I love The Notebook he wrote. The film was also a very good adaptation. Love, loss, sentimentality and hope. He is a great writer that can create human feelings and emotions through words.
    So I am sure The Lucky One will be just as good.

    Thanks for the chance.
    Mobi is my choice of format.

    E-mail: Emisbookblog(at)AOL(dot)com

    Choices:
    Game of Thrones (Song of Fire and Ice)
    The Lucky One

    I choose Game of Thrones because I've heard such great things about the TV series and I have yet to watch it because I want to read the book first. And I choose The Lucky One because the previews look so cute for that movie and I am a huge Nicholas Sparks fan =)

  19. I would love to win "The Host" and "The Girl with a Dragon Tattoo" both in mobi (kindle) format.

    I follow through GFC and Networked blogs as MomBlogger

    What inspired me to pick them: I've heard of both books, but have not had a chance to read them. I'd love to read them before the movies come to the theater!

  20. What a cool giveaway! I'd love to win all the books, haha. I actually didn't know that they were making The Host into a movie.

    I would love to win Game of Thrones and The Hobbit, both in the ePub format. I haven't read The Hobbit since middle school and would love to read it again before the movie. And I've heard that Game of Thrones is amazing, but I'm worried that if I don't read the books first I'll be confused watching the TV show.

    Thank you so much! :)
