And the Winners of Mercy by Rebecca Lim are …
I know I’ve been MIA for the past week (sorry guys) but I just had to take a break from everything for a little bit but now I’m back and ready to announce the winners of my giveaway, yay!
I just want to thank everyone who entered I had a great response which I wasn’t expecting as it was only open to Australian residents and the last one I had for Australian residents only didn’t get too many entries (compared to my international giveaways). Perhaps more Aussies are reading my blog!
So without further ado the winners of Mercy by Rebecca Lim are ….
* Sophie
* Aik from ‘The Bookaholics’
Congratulations to the winners and I hope you enjoy the book as much as I did.

Win One of 2 Copies of Mercy by Rebecca Lim!
The wonderful Trish over at HarperCollins Australia
Mercy is the first in a new series by Melbourne
“Mercy mixes an intriguing romance with a suspenseful mystery in which Mercy, our heroine, attempts to not only discover the fate of a missing girl but also more about herself, specifically who she is exactly and why she’s been exiled from heaven and forced to return repeatedly to Earth. With utterly beautiful descriptive prose and a unique take on the angel genre, Mercy by Rebecca Lim definitely stands out from the pack of other angel themed books that are currently available.” - For full review click HERE
This giveaway has now closed and winners have been announced.
Rules
* Open to Australian residents only
* The giveaway will end on the 23rd January 2011
* You can only enter once
* The winner will be notified by email and will have 48 hours to respond, if I have not been contacted within 48 hours another winner will be chosen
Good luck to everyone!

The League of Extraordinary Writers
So you may be wondering what the heck this ‘League of Extraordinary Writers’ is, well it’s a group of debut YA authors who write science fiction and dystopian works (which I am a big fan of). Each of the authors have works that run the gamut of near-future mind control to far-future space travel, but they do have one thing in common: a future where the Earth we know now is twisted, gone.
League Members
Jeff Hirsch, author of THE ELEVENTH PLAGUE, about a 15 year old scavenger coming of age after a nearly apocalyptic war. (Scholastic, Summer/Fall 2011)
Elana Johnson, author of POSSESSION, where one rebel fifteen-year-old tries to fight her brainwashing government. (Simon & Schuster, Summer 2011)
Julia Karr, author of XVI, a novel set in the year 2150, where turning sixteen is anything but sweet. (Puffin/Speak, Spring 2011)
Beth Revis, author of ACROSS THE UNIVERSE, a murder mystery set in space. (Razorbill/Penguin, Spring 2011)
Angie Smibert whose novel MEMENTO NORA is about a teenage girl’s struggle to hold on to her memories—and her identity—in a world that finds it far more lucrative for everyone to forget—and keep on shopping. (Marshall Cavendish, April 2011)
But Romy your saying why are you telling me this? Well good question I am telling you this because currently they have a pretty awesome giveaway going on where you can score yourself pre-ordered copies of all Five of their Books:
XVI by Julia Karr
Across the Universe by Beth Revis
Memento Nora by Angie Smibert
Possession by Elana Johnson
The Eleventh Plague by Jeff Hirsch
So if your interested in winning these books, and I sure am, all you need to do is click HERE and follow the instructions, it's easy. Good luck!

I’m back from my little sojourn (oh and the winner of the giveaway is ….)
Hey guys,
Sorry about the late posting for this, I was so tired from my trip back to civilisation (it took so long to get home, 6 hours in a car is not fun let me tell you!) but I’m finally back now and refreshed so now I have to pick a winner for my Eternal Ones Giveaway, so without further ado the winner is …..
Entry no. 84, so that’s Charlotte
Congratulations Charlotte!
I’d just like to thank everyone who entered the giveaway and if you didn’t win fear not for I have another giveaway coming up very soon but it will only be open to Australian and New Zealand residents this time around (sorry, it’s a stipulation from the Australian publisher as the book is only available in Australia and New Zealand at the moment), I’ll try and organise an another international one soon.
I don’t know if anyone reading this will actually care one bit but I’ll mention it anyway, I really enjoyed my trip to the bush, well apart from the mozzies, they were everywhere, I am so itchy right now! I saw so many different animals (possums, frogs, owls, skinks, snakes, wombats, wallabies, kangaroos) and got to help with some research going on regarding behaviour in possums and whether or not our native animals eat bait (which is poisonous to them) set out for introduced predators which are a huge problem for our native wildlife. The place I stayed at was pretty amazing (it was right next to a state forest) and we visited it every day as well as at night to spotlight for possums, I had a great time!
These two pictures are where the research was conducted, pretty amazing, don’t you agree?
I also got to go here on one of the days, so pretty. The rocks were also so fun to climb!
On a side note I had a pleasant surprise when I finally got round to checking my email (after 5 days without it, torture for me), I won a copy of Last Sacrifice by Richelle Mead! Remember that post I had telling you guys that Penguin Australia was giving away six copies of Last Sacrifice and all you had to do was tell them in 25 words or less how you want Last Sacrifice to end? Well I was one of the lucky winners, fancy that! They were going to send the winners the books by express post on Friday so the winners will get them Monday (a whole day before the official release date) however I got home so late on Friday night that I was too late for my copy to be sent to me as I needed to reply to the email and give them my address so I’m going to have to wait until, most probably, Monday for them to send it to me which is a bit of a bumer, I want to read it so bad, the sooner the better!

Who wants a $20 shopping voucher from Borders Australia?
Okay so a couple of days ago I was browsing through Borders desperate to spend my $100 gift voucher I received for my birthday which has been burning a hole through my pocket just waiting to be spent on some good books. I eventually decided upon Radiant Shadows by Melissa Marr. I’ve read the first three books in the series and really enjoyed them so I thought why not start the next book in the series plus I know Darkest Mercy, the next (and final) book in the series, is releasing early next year so by reading Radiant Shadows I will be able to pick up Darkest Mercy when its released and find out how the series is going to end.
Anyway (sorry going a bit off topic) when I went up to the counter the cashier asked me if I wanted to join the Borders VIP Loyalty Program, I said yes upon which I was issued a card, following this the cashier then told me because I joined I’ve automatically received a $20 shopping voucher, whoot I said and then proceeded to use my $20 I just received on the book so I got the book for free and my $100 gift voucher balance remains at $100!
So long story short if you join up to Borders VIP Loyalty Program you get $20, how awesome is that? For more information click here [this page basically explains all the details you need to know].
