Top 12 of 2012

Happy New Year.

I hope you all had a fantastic time celebrating the New Year in and I wish you all love, joy, good health and success in the coming year.

Over the last couple of weeks I have seen a lot of 'End of Year' Quizzes and summaries. I usually take part in them, but this year I decided that these authors were too awesome to just be mentioned in an end of year summary so I thought I would do a whole promotion.

For  the next 12 days I will be spotlighting a book and author that I read and loved in 2012.
2012 was such a good year for books and I read so many great stories and entered so many fantastic worlds.
I total I read 166 books in 2012. Not quite achieving my target of 200 but I'm happy with how many I did read. As you can imagine picking just 12 favourites out of those 166 was hard, but I've done it.
These were all the books I read:

So who am I going to feature? I debated whether or not to list them here, wondering if I should just let you discover someone new each day but as I have all the book covers in the banner at the top (had you noticed?) I decided to list them all.

So here is the schedule:
-->

2^nd January - Megan Duncan (Giveaway)

3^rd January – Ally Condie

4^th January – Alexander Gordon Smith

5^th January – Maria V Snyder

6^th January – Derek Landy

7^th January – Teri Terry (Giveaway)

8^th January – Keira Cass

9^th January – Charlotte Blackwell

10^th January – Erin Morgenstern

11^th January – C.C Hunter

12^th January – Beth Revis

13^th January – Michelle Madow

14^th January – Closing Post.

I contacted the authors on my list and 6 of them have done interviews for me and at least 2 have Giveaways for you to enter. The prizes are awesome - if I could keep them myself I would. :P

 I hope you'll come back everyday to share some love with these authors and maybe discover a new book yourself. 

I am so excited to get this event kicked off, so make sure you come back tomorrow to read about the awesome Megan Duncan (and enter the first GIVEAWAY!!!!)

I want this event to reach as many people as possible so I am running a Giveaway of my own that will run throughout the promotion.

I am offering a choice of one of the books mentioned, purchased from the book depository which means this giveaway is International!

All you have to do is enter the Rafflecopter below.
