BlogFest 2011

177 Comments / Giveaway, Miscellaneous / By MinnChica

As evident by our blog name, we love to push our favorite books onto all of you. So when the chance came up to participate in the 2011 Blogfest and push our favorite books onto more readers who may not know who we are, we jumped on the chance!

Here at The Book Pushers, the 5 of us all love to read just about any romance, fantasy or paranormal book we can get our hands on. But at the same time we all seem to favor one genre over another. So as a special treat for you, we are each giving away a book in our favorite genre!

Ying is a super fan of of all things urban fantasy, and for you Urban Fantasy fans out there, she is giving away HOUNDED by Kevin Hearne.

Has picked a book that has been both her favorite all around release AND favorite debut book of the year so far, the paranormal romance sensation: DRAGON BOUND by Thea Harrison!

Lou is the YA advocate around here, and she read one that blew her out of the water this past year. ANNA AND THE FRENCH KISS by Stephanie Perkins.

E went with an old favorite of hers to giveaway this year, and is going with a fantasy favorite: SUNSHINE by Robin McKinley.

MinnChica has fallen in love with the Romantic Suspense genre this year and is giving away THE DARKEST HOUR by Maya Banks.

So there you have it, a well rounded giveaway of our favorite books!

So here’s what you need to do to enter:

1.Be sure you read our Giveaway Policy!

2. Leave us a comment and let us know you’re favorite book or genre.

3. Then, make sure you rank your winning preference.

We will choose 5 separate winners, and hopefully you will all get one of your top choices! Winners will be announced on Monday the 18th. Open Internationally. Good Luck!

We want to give a shout out to A Journey of Books for putting together this great event! For a list of all the blogs participating head over to A Journey of Books here. They’ve also put together a great tracking site where you can keep track of which contests you’ve already entered!
