One Year Blogoversary Giveaway Kickoff! (US/CA only)

Ashley Loves Books Turns 1 Today!
*confetti*
(also, Happy New Year!)

When I decided to make a book blog late in 2011, I had absolutely no idea what I was in for. I thought I'd get to chat about some books with a few random people, maybe satisfy the writing itch that I'd been having, perhaps find a few buddies on Twitter to discuss some books I was reading. Maybe...if I was lucky.

I am the luckiest woman alive.

I'll save the cheesier posts for later, but for now we suffice to say that I just want to hug EVERYONE in this book blogging community. I have never found more people who are so friendly, accepting and lively. This is like finding a family I never knew I had - except better, because I chose you and you choose me and I can put my phone down and close Twitter when I get huffy that you're Team Jem and not Team Will.

The reflective posts will be sprinkled throughout the month; for now, let's get to the first of FOUR giveaways!


This one is US/Canada ONLY!
Don't worry, Internationals, I'll have one up for you tomorrow :)

The Prizes:
Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas
Wanderlove by Kirsten Hubbard
Cinder by Marissa Meyer
all three are some of my favourite 2012 reads, and the authors are some of my favourite ones, too. I've met all of them on multiple occasions and they are each the sweetest, friendliest women.

There will be TWO (2) winners!
Winner #1 will be able to choose which TWO (2) of the three they would like.
Winner #2 will get the remaining ONE (1)!

Have I mentioned all three are signed? Because they are!
Since shipping does get expensive, I'm sorry to say that if Winner #1 is Canadian, Winner #2 must be US. I'm sorry! But here's hoping you will be Canadian Winner #1 ;)

Enter through the rafflecopter below, and all my usual giveaway policy rules apply.
Since this celebrates how much love I've seen over the year, you MUST be a follower.
May the odds be ever in your favour.
ends February 2, 2013!
