UKYA in 2013 giveaway (UK only)
You may have noticed by now? That I'm keen on supporting new titles published by British authors this year? :) I am. My UKYA in 2013 feature is one of my favourite posts to write and I love the quality of books that I've been reading and reviewing this year and I love how many UKYA authors have taken the time to write guest posts or be interviewed here on my blog. Let's hope this continues for the rest of the year.
BUT! I was sitting here thinking there must be another way to go about rousing some enthusiasm for these brilliant UKYA books that I've been reading lately? And really, the only thing I could come up with, and I hope you'll agree that it's a good idea, is a giveaway!
So here are a selection of books that I have available for you to win. All are in excellent condition, most have been read (apart from some duplicates) and I've tried to list as much information as I can below. What I'll do is I'll make this a regular thing throughout the year and continually add more UKYA in 2013 titles to the giveaway pile and every now and again, I'll write a quick post and set the giveaway ball rolling again.
The Rules:
You will have the chance to win any of the books listed/pictured below that will fit into a large jiffy bag. This usually means between 4-5 books but it is dependent on the individual books that you choose. Just leave a 'PICK ME' comment below together with a means of contacting you (either an email address or a twitter ID). You have until the 30th of April to enter, when I will randomly choose a winner. UK only, I'm afraid due to the price of postage. One entry per household. No need to be a follower of the blog, though that is always appreciated. Warm fuzzies and virtual hugs to those that publicise the giveaway! Good luck to all...

I think this is a really great idea, shamefully I've only read one of these! And some I didn't even know were Uk pub like The Disappeared and By Any Other Name. I'm most excited for the Bunker Diary though!
