  1. Thank you for a fantastic competition! Wish you a very Merry Christmas!
    There have been some fantastic reads this year.
    I would love to win The Night Before Christmas, or Starting Over, or Home for Christmas, or the signed Night Circus book, but I would be hapy to win any!
    Some of my favourite reads this year, Into the Darkest Corner by Elizabeth Haynes, The Proof of Love by Catherine Hall, Still Alice by Lisa Genova.

    Best wishes,

  2. Wow! Great competition! I adored reading Jamrach's Menagerie by Carol Birch this year - such an unusual read! I would love to win The Night Circus or Afterwards (although I'd be happy with ANY)!

    Merry Christmas!

  3. Thanks for the chance to win a new read for 2012. I moved to Croatia earlier this year and have been relying on reading whatever books I can find in english in offerings outside the library. Have read the most random collection of books ever! Have just finished re-reading 'The Glass Palace' which I really enjoyed. Would be happy with any of your international offerings.
    Thanks for the great blog & chance to win.

  6. Wow Kirsty, what a fab giveaway!

    It is hard to choose favourites but I have to say ones that have made the most impression on me are Isabel Ashdown's Hurry Up & Wait, Ali Harris' Miracle on Regent Street and Deb Harkness' A Discovery of Witches.

    Preferences would be The Night Before Christmas or The Night Circus.

    Blessings of Yule to you

  7. Fab competition and nice to see there'll be lots of different winners.

    I've read far too many books this year. One of the most inspirational books I've read this year was Emma Hannigan's Talk to the Headscarf which is about her battle with cancer.

I've also enjoyed reading Angel this year so would be pleased to win Angel Fire, and I'd really like It Started With A Kiss too, but I think I'd be happy with any of them! @helenkeiller on twitter

  13. I'm an avid reader, which means it's hard to choose just one book. 2011 was filled wit many great reads! But, I will say, for this entry's purposes that I really enjoyed reading "Glass Boys" by Nicole Lundrigan. I hadn't come across her before and when I picked up her book, I was surprisingly pleased with her natural narrative, the depth and detail of her characters, and the ease of her plot.

    Should I be lucky enough to win one of your giveaways, would you mind sending me "Starting Over" by Sue Moorcroft? Unfortunately, I'm not from the U.K., which means I can't choose "The Night Circus" or "The Language of Flowers" (which look excellent!).

    Thanks for a chance at winning. This is a great giveaway.

    Happy reading and reviewing.
