Annette's Book Spot: A Big Thank You! Book Giveaway

I just wanted to say thanks to all my followers by hosting a giveaway. I’ll be giving away two books, to two winners. Being a follower is not required, but I would ask that you at least take a look at my blog if you aren’t a follower, and see if it’s something you would be interested in following.

Here’s what’s up for the giveaway:

XVI, by Julia Karr, paperback.

From the publisher:

Nina Oberon's life is pretty normal: she hangs out with her best friend, Sandy, and their crew, goes to school, plays with her little sister, Dee. But Nina is 15. And like all girls she'll receive a Governing Council-ordered tattoo on her 16th birthday. XVI. Those three letters will be branded on her wrist, announcing to all the world - even the most predatory of men - that she is ready for sex. Considered easy prey by some, portrayed by the Media as sluts who ask for attacks, becoming a "sex-teen" is Nina's worst fear. That is, until right before her birthday, when Nina's mom is brutally attacked. With her dying breaths, she reveals to Nina a shocking truth about her past - one that destroys everything Nina thought she knew. Now, alone but for her sister, Nina must try to discover who she really is, all the while staying one step ahead of her mother's killer.

I haven’t even read this one yet! But I’ve read so much about it that I can’t wait! I’m going to buy myself a copy too.

So Much Closer, by Susanne Colasanti. This is an ARC of a book that will be released in May, 2011.
