The Nine Books Giveaway (Yes, You Read That Right)

As you guys know, I have a major book buying problem. I buy a book because it has a gorgeous cover and when I actually read it, I find out I don’t like it. However, because I have this annoying habit to buy the rest of the books in the series even though I didn’t enjoy the book the first place, books I don’t want keep piling up.

That’s where you guys come in. To stop the temptation of buying more books in the series when I didn’t enjoy the first or first two books, I’ll be giving away the books instead.

This time, I’ll be giving away all nine Cassandra Clare books I have: City of Bones, City of Ashes, City of Glass, City of Fallen Angels, City of Lost Souls, Clockwork Angel, Clockwork Prince, and Clockwork Princess. All nine books are hardcovers in brand new condition. That’s right, I’ve never opened up and read any of my copies once. I’ll also add my ARC of The Iron Trial as one of the books you guys can win.

cassieclare

And, there’s more! Did I mention that Cassandra Clare and Holly Black will be at New York City in September and that I would be meeting them? No? Well, I will be meeting them and I am willing to get The Iron Trial and one of the other nine Cassandra Clare books I’m giving away signed and personalized, just for you.

This giveaway is also international. May the odds be in your favor!

    The first book is the best part of the series. Only the ending makes you want to hang yourself. And wow, you DO have a book buying problem.
    Thank you for making this one international.

    Great competition to run and really generous for you to give them away like that. I’ve read City Of Bones and the Clockwork Prince and really enjoyed them, so much so that I’ve asked for the rest of the series for my birthday next month

    Aw, you’re so generous with this giveaway! :D I absolutely LOVED Cassandra Clare’s books! I read them through the library, but I don’t own them; at the moment, I am devouring City of Heavenly Fire from the library, which, by the way, is very, very awesome! Whoever wins this giveaway will be one lucky fella!

    What a fantastic and generous giveaway! Cassie Clare is one of my favorite authors and I am so beyond jealous and in awe that you have an ARC of the iron trials (I didn’t think there were arcs for her books). I am keeping my fingers crossed for this one.

    Anyway, I’ve only read City of Bones and City of Ashes and someday I’d like to finish reading the series. I really want to read The Infernal Devices trilogy, however.

    Thanks for the giveaway!

    I really hate it when you post a giveaway because so many will enter and I don’t have a chance of winning! I don’t even want to see how many entries there will be in the end. It’s been two days and the entries already reached 2000, and who knows how scary the number will be in a month.

    And if you do plan on actually reading one of those series, I would suggest TID because in my opinion, it’s way better than the original, though I still didn’t like it. I just read that because I had nothing else to read. But I’m seriously jealous that you have them all in hardcover. I mean, that’s so expensive and so pretty and you’re going to ship it all internationally away and I’m just wishing I could do something like that because I really want to but I can’t. *flails* I want to live in NYC too right now.

    Thank you for the chance.. How come you didn’t like them? Or pick them up? I’ve read the first two, own the first one in Movie cover. and have been having a time trying to get the others from the library, people always have them on hold, or get to them quicker than me.. Oh well. Best of luck to all!

I hope there’s a possible way to delete that certain entry. :( I might have to go and cry on a corner for now and contemplate how dumb I am ugh.
