All of the fabulous reviewers I have working with me on Between the Covers are part of this craziness I call my blog because they love to read and they want to share that love with others. We all have a total and complete love affair with books which we want to pass on to you, our followers.
In that spirit, Chris came up with the idea of an end of year round up... the books we loved most in 2011 and the ones we're most anticipating in 2012. We've compiled our lists and checked them twice. *snickers* Sorry, I couldn't resist! We've made changes to allow for some of us loving the same books. *laughs* And now we want to share our lists with you. Each day 12/27 - 12/31 We'll be posting the list from one of the reviewers here on BtC. You'll get to see which books we couldn't put down this year, and which ones we're dying to get our hands on for next.
And there's a bonus prize... free books!
*cue wild follower applause for this brilliant idea... and free books*
Followers can enter to win ONE (1) book off of the "2011 faves" list. You are free to enter each day's giveaway. The giveaway begins 12/27 and runs through 01/06/12. Winners will be announced on 01/07/12.
Now... on to the books!

ReplyDeleteI've been hearing a lot about the Shades series by E.L. James, but I haven't read it. I think I'll have to move it up my TBR list.

ReplyDeleteYou guys are the third ones I've seen who put Shadowfever on their Top 10 of the Year lists! Sad to say, I haven't actually heard of this one before, but if so many people argue for it's awesomeness, I'm gonna have to check this one out, asap!

ReplyDelete@LoriStrongin Lori - you HAVE to check out the "Fever" series. KMM is one of my all-time fave authors! She also has another series of Highlander hunks, and it's super hot! Check it out...
ReplyDeleteI am so waiting for Lover Reborn too I cannot wait for this book.
ReplyDeleteI do have Dark Fever but can you imagine I haven't read it yet. What's wrong with me LOL.
I have read a lot of great things about Shadowfever by Karen Marie Moning. This is on my wish list now.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance. Happy New Year!
@BLHmistress Girl, what are you waiting for? Open up "Dark Fever" and get busy...you are in for a treat! *drooling over Barrons" (I also have a secret love affair with the Brothers...fickle woman)
ReplyDelete@Evie You're gonna love the "Fever" series. Check out my fellow bloggers' lists for more great additions to your TBR pile. There's some real "hotties" buried in there!
ReplyDeleteOh yes! The Shadowfever by Karen Marie Moning is on my list. LOVE it
ReplyDelete@Natasha Areena This year, she's also releasing "Iced," a story told from Dani's POV. So excited for that! Oh, and I hear there's a graphic novel as well...
ReplyDeleteDemon Dark and Fifty Shades Darker are new to me. The others I have been wanting to read. Curse you lack of time! Eventually, I will make it through all of these fabulous authors.
ReplyDeleteI think I agree with your books most. I love EL James' books but not many people read them.
ReplyDeleteI love EL James books and have read all of Karen Marie Mornings. I am gonna have to check out the others.
ReplyDelete@GzNKz4evr I have to admit, my first "Demon" read from Penelope Fletcher was a freebie ("Demon Girl", I forget who had it for free), and I was hooked. I loved the concept and the characters. And, YES, the lack of reading time is frustrating!
ReplyDelete@flixy082 Great to have a like-minded reader around. Who do you like that I may not have read yet? PS: If you liked the "Fifty Shades" series, you have to check out "The Reluctant Dom" by Tymber Dalton. I cried my eyes out!
ReplyDelete@Snoopyvet What do you think of KMM's "Highlander" series? I'm a sucker for a Scottish accent! I get all tingly just thinking about the scenes with the Highlander boys... *fans self*
ReplyDeleteAwesome Giveaway THX
ReplyDelete@Anna Glad you enjoyed it! Keep your eyes peeled for future giveaways and spectacular reviews by my buds on BtC.
