Awesome giveaway! I just read a really good book called Who By Fire by Diana Spechler.
Yesss, a giveaway! Nobody's Princess by Esther Friesner. That was so much fun to read and the sequel was even better!
Thanks Lenore <3.

The most recent book i read and loved was 'Seduce me at sunrise'. It's historical romance. In fact I'll be reviewing it shortly :)
What a great giveaway, Lenore! Thanks for doing this. I recently read and loved The Graveyard Book, by Neil Gaiman. It totally swept me away.

I loved Switch by Carol Snow. Great giveaway thanks!
Wow, you're lucky to have met Libba Bray!!! I love this series, so I really want to win it.
The best book I've read recently is Unwind by Neal Schusterman. Unbelieveably good! It really makes you think and horrifies you at the same time.
I've read so many great books this year...one stand out is The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society - wonderful book!
Thanks for the entry :)
I have just read Beyond the Shadows of Summer, by Jonathan Zemsky. It was a great book!

Wow, great giveawat! I recently read Innocence by Kathleen tessaro and loved it.
I've posted at Win a Book. No need to enter the contest.
Sadly, I've been doing so little reading for pleasure recently I feel like I can't remember a new book I've just loved. I read the first two Midnighters books by Scott Westerfeld this summer -- its a great YA series. The third, Blue Noon, just came out but I haven't had the chance to read it yet.
I LOVE "Eat, Pray, Love" and want to read it again. Thanks for such a great giveaway! Keeping my fingers crossed!

I just read "The Gargoyle" by Andrew Davidson and I still can't wrap my head around it. It was like food for the mind and soul, all wrapped into one.
I read the first book in this series, and always wondered about the sequels.
I just tweeted. It wouldn't let me link (status is down I guess) My twitter ID is bookroomreviews. Thanks!
What a great giveaway.
I loved Trash Sex Magic by Jennifer Stevenson.
Wow..this is an amazing giveaway! The most recent book that I read is the 3rd installment for the Bride OF Casa Dracula Series:
-The Bride os Casa Dracula-Marta Acosta
I truly loved reading this book, unpredictable & funny!
I just finished reading Where am I Wearing? this weekend and it was an amazing look at the people who work in the garment and textile industries in foreign countries. It's nonfiction, but more interesting than most nonfiction I have read this year.
I haven't read any of the Gemma Doyle books, but I read about them on amazon and they sound great!

Amazing contest. :)
I just finished TWO WAY STREET and loved it. :)
I will refrain from entering because I own all three books already - but wow, this is a great giveaway! A great book I recently read was Sammy's Hill by Kristen Gore.
well my first choice for this year would be gaiman's "the graveyard book" and it's perfect, really, really good!
but saw that alot of others recommended it also and since this would make your wishlist list shorter (we so don't want that :)) then i will add another name also maureen johnson's "girl at the sea", i'm half way through and it's very good.
Great giveaway! I'd rather say "Magdeburg" by Alan D. Altieri. It's a three-part book set in Germany during the seventeenth century. I think it's one of the most awesome historical novels I've ever read...
Please enter me in the contest. Thanks. By the way, I'm an international reader -- I'm from Italy, you know...
