    1. Hi Clarissa, so sorry for the confusion. I am giving away a signed copy of one of the books I've written. I wish I had signed copies of all of these books - that would be AWESOME! :) You've given me something else to aspire to this year. Hmm, I wonder if any of these authors would sign my kindle - now that would be cool considering I loved every one of these books, and the authors are AMAZING <3! :)

      You've got a great list. Clockwork Prince and Iron Daughter were fantastic. Love the Iron Fey series. You will definitely love Obsidian. The Lux series is also one of my faves. I'm off to check out the rest of your list - sounds wonderful. Thanks for sharing!

      Thanks so much for entering, and again, so sorry for the confusion <3! :)

  12. My favorite book that I read in 2012 was Blood Red Road by Moira Young. I really love the heroine, because she started out weak, but as the story progress she started coming out of her box and became really fierce.

  17. Mine was The Fault in Our Stars by John Green. I can't remember another book that shaked me so much as that. The story of Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters broke my heart and made cry and love and hate and cry again and then suddenly i had and stupid smile on my face. It was just perfect. Opal by JL Armentrout and The Golden Lily by Richelle Mead were amazing too!

    Sorry for the mistakes, english it's not my first language xd
