GIVEAWAY! ARCs of CROSSED (Ally Condie) and THE FUTURE OF US (Jay Asher & Carolyn Mackler)

This is my 100th post! And in celebration of how far this blog has progressed since I started it last April 1st, 2011, I’m hosting a GIVEAWAY!

(Yes, I thought I was fooling myself too on April Fool’s Day by starting this blog, but with the help of WONDERFUL friends, I fortunately did NOT have to chuck this down blog-o-wasteland.)

More things to celebrate:

–10,000+ pageviews
–1300+ comments (including mine)
–200+ SUPER FAB FOLLOWERS (yes, YOU!)
–aaannnd, this baby is 6 months old! Awww! I bet we can feed it solids now.

So what am I giving away, you ask? No, you can’t have my Blu-Ray DVD, sorry. Or my sparkly tiara.

IT’S THIS!

AND THIS!

Now for the rules… Rules? What rules? As long as you’re a follower (since this is a celebration of YOU, for being a loyal, wonderful friend), you’re in. Just leave me a comment telling me which one you must absolutely have.
There are going to be 2 WINNERS (one for each book, obviously. D’oh.) If you feel like you want to increase your chances of winning–and this is not mandatory at all–you can spread the news via Twitter, and I’ll give you an extra point for every tweet or retweet. Just make sure you tag my Twitter handle so I won’t miss it: @writercherie. If you’re not on Twitter, you can clean my house and I’ll give you extra 150 points! Nah, just kidding! Blogging about this giveaway will earn you an extra 5. Is that fair? I really don’t want people to have to go through hoops and rings of fire, but at the same time I know those who don’t tweet are at a disadvantage.

EDITED TO ADD: You can tweet and RT as many times as you want. I will total so no need to comment after every tweet. Thanks!

Contest ends next Wednesday, Sept. 21st at midnight, Mountain time.
That’s it. Easy peasy. I’ve always believed that books are meant to be shared. Thanks to Jenny Phresh, for I won these books from her giveaway. I’ve enjoyed reading them, and now it’s time for someone else to discover these wonderful novels. 
Good luck! And THANK YOU for being a part of my experience.

    CONGRATULATIONS! Thanks so much for this giveaway! I'd love to enter (following you on GFC as infalliblyyours or Munnaza)! I'm actually incredibly excited for BOTH of these books, so I wouldn't mind either of them (Matched was one of my favorites, so of course I want to read Crossed, but I also LOVED Thirteen Reasons Why and I can't wait for Future of US). But if I MUST pick one, I'd say Future of US. I also tweeted about this giveaway here: http://twitter.com/#!/yoursinfallibly/status/114191605103210496and I will be continuously spreading the word for more entries on my twitter account @yoursinfallibly (I'll make sure to add you).
