Gawd, I can’t tell you how hard it is for me to part with my books. Even books that I didn’t like, I want to keep. I love having a large home library.
But I also think there is a certain injustice to having good books sitting on a shelf when others could be enjoying them. So, here I am, participating in the Read It Then Pass Program created by Steph at Paper Cut Reviews and Chas at Lovin’ & Livin’ Life Reviews!
This month, I have three books to giveaway! Check it:
Drought by Pam Bachorz
Gently read ARC, signed by author
She plots to escape the vicious Darwin West, his cruel Overseers, and the daily struggle to gather the life-prolonging Water that keeps the Congregants alive and gives Darwin his wealth and power. But if Ruby leaves, the Congregation will die without the secret ingredient that makes the Water special: her blood.
So she stays.
But when Ruby meets Ford, the new Overseer who seems barely older than herself, her desire for freedom is too strong. He’s sympathetic, irresistible, forbidden—and her only access to the modern world. Escape with Ford would be so simple, but can Ruby risk the terrible price, dooming the only world she’s ever known?
If I Stay by Gayle Forman
Gently read paperback! My FAVORITE READ last year.
A sophisticated, layered, and heartachingly beautiful story about the power of family and friends, the choices we all make—and the ultimate choice Mia commands.
Wintergirls by Laurie Halse Anderson
Gently read paperback
In her most emotionally wrenching, lyrically written book since the National Book Award finalist Speak, best-selling author Laurie Halse Anderson explores one girl’s chilling descent into the all-consuming vortex of anorexia.

I actually don't keep books when read. I just have no room with over 200 to be read on my shelves and l think its great to share the books!

I give away a lot of my books since i rarely crack the spine.
If they aren't in pristine condition, I'll say so. However… WHA???? Giving away If I Stay??? You have it on the kindle, huh?

omg. I love your blog. You are so honest- it's refreshing! Loved your post about being a bad reader. A lot of my friends do not read YA books, and sometimes I feel like I'm the bad reader. But I LOVE YA. SO, Boo on them! Right?!
def got a new follower in me!
I just started my own blog!
Check it out!

Congrats to the winners!
It's so generous of you to pass on your books. I am a book hoarder. It would pain me to give any of my books away

I totally understand! It is SO hard for me to even let someone borrow one of my books.

This is a fantastic idea! I think I will definitely start doing this myself.
