Final Blogoversary Giveaway: Signed copy of Losing It by Cora Carmack

Hey guys....well, this is it!  The Final Giveaway to celebrate our 2nd Blogoversary.

This time, up for grabs is a signed copy of Losing It by Cora Carmack.  You know that Cora is very near and dear to YA Sisterhood's heart, and we are so happy that she has offered up a copy of her New York Times Bestselling New Adult romance novel.  (That's a mouthful.)

If you haven't read it (or even if you have), you do not want to miss out on Garrick and Bliss.  This contemporary romance will have you running the gamut of emotions--from unbelievably embarrassed, to heartbreaking sadness, to overwhelming swooniness.  Plus, there are few points where it reaches a 10 on the Lust-O-Meter.

This one is a must read for NA fans.  (Recommended age:   17+)

 

Virginity.

Bliss Edwards is about to graduate from college and still has hers. Sick of being the only virgin among her friends, she decides the best way to deal with the problem is to lose it as quickly and simply as possible-- a one-night stand. But her plan turns out to be anything but simple when she freaks out and leaves a gorgeous guy alone and naked in her bed with an excuse that no one with half-a-brain would ever believe. And as if that weren't embarrassing enough, when she arrives for her first class of her last college semester, she recognizes her new theatre professor. She'd left him naked in her bed about 8 hours earlier.

Blogoversary Giveaway #3

Hey guys!!!!  Well....here goes giveaway number 3!  (Only 1 more after this one!)

What can you win this time?  3 more ARCS!!!!!

Check them out:

 

Celia Reynolds is the youngest in a set of triplets and the one with the least valuable power. Anne can see the future, and Jane can see the present, but all Celia can see is the past. And the past seems so insignificant -- until Celia meets Lo.

Lo doesn't know who she is. Or who she was. Once a human, she is now almost entirely a creature of the sea -- a nymph, an ocean girl, a mermaid -- all terms too pretty for the soulless monster she knows she's becoming. Lo clings to shreds of her former self, fighting to remember her past, even as she's tempted to embrace her dark immortality.

When a handsome boy named Jude falls off a pier and into the ocean, Celia and Lo work together to rescue him from the waves. The two form a friendship, but soon they find themselves competing for Jude's affection. Lo wants more than that, though. According to the ocean girls, there's only one way for Lo to earn back her humanity. She must persuade a mortal to love her . . . and steal his soul.

 

 

She's got it bad, and he ain't good -- he's in her garage?

"I'm your biggest fan, I'll follow you until you love me..."

Gonna have to face it: Jody's addicted to Jackson Gatlin, frontman of The Regulators, and after her best bud Mac scores tickets, she's front and center at his sold-out concert. But when she gets mashed in the moshpit and bodysurfs backstage, she's got more than a mild concussion to deal with. By the next morning, the strung-out rock star is coming down in her garage. Jody -- oops -- kind of kidnapped him. By accident. With a Curly Wurly candy bar. And now he doesn't want to leave.

It's a rock-star abduction worthy of an MTV reality series...but who got punk'd?!

 

 

I left everything I knew behind.

But it was worth it. He was worth it.

No one thought an ordinary girl like me would last two minutes living with the Amish, not even me. There are a lot more rules and a lot less freedom, and I miss my family and the life I once had. Worst of all, Noah and I aren't even allowed to see each other. Not until I've proven myself.

If I can find a way to make it work, we'll be NOAH & ROSE

together forever.

But not everybody believes this is where I belong.

 

***********************************************

So, one winner will win all 3 ARCS!!!  Good luck!

Book Spotlight and Blogoversary Giveaway #1! If We Kiss and Kiss Me Again by Rachel Vail

It's started!!!!!! Woot Woot for Blogoversary Giveaways!!!!

If you're like me, you are always looking for a new contemporary romance to read.  I'm a huge fan of light-hearted romances--the ones that make you ohhh and awww all the way through, and then wish that you were living in fairy tale land.  Those are the ones I love--not the heavy ones that center around death and abuse.  So, today I thought I'd share (and give away) a copy of two great contemporary romances, IF WE KISS and KISS ME AGAIN by Rachel Vail. 

Be sure to enter the Rafflecopter at the bottom!

What would happen if we kiss?

Kevin led me quickly around the side of the building, then stopped. I managed not to crash into him. I tried to look calm, cool, unperturbed. I told myself not to laugh, especially not a snorting kind of laugh. "Wha . . . what did . . ."

And then he kissed me.

If We Kiss is the story of Charlotte (Charlie to her friends), who finds herself falling for a boy who is off-limits. Her best friend is in love with him, and her mother and his father are dating. Still, Charlie can't help but wonder, what would happen if we kiss?

******************************************

 

He closed the distance I'd opened up between us and kissed me lightly on the lips. "Maybe we can just be," Kevin whispered.

Charlie Collins doesn't know what to do about Kevin Lazarus, her crush and, awkwardly, her new stepbrother. Things were complicated enough when their parents were only dating and when Kevin was going out with Charlie's best friend, Tess. Now, post-wedding, Charlie and Kevin are crossing paths and crossing lines, and then they have to eat breakfast . . . together.

If only Charlie could get some time away from Kevin and her annoyingly happy and strange stepfamily, she might be able to deal. Yet first she has to make things right with George, her sort-of boyfriend, and Tess, whose trust she broke. But while Charlie struggles to be the perfect friend and daughter, at the end of the day Kevin is the one waiting for her at home. Would it really be so bad if they kissed again?

The follow-up to If We Kiss, Rachel Vail's addictive story of first kisses and heartbreak, Kiss Me Again at long last answers the question of what happens when a crush so off-limits it has to be a fantasy suddenly becomes something very real.

The YA Sisterhood is turning 2!!!!!! Happy Blogoversary to Us!

Wow!  2 Years!

I joined my two sisters at this blog right around this time last year, and it has been one heck of a ride since then!  I have become absolutely obsessed with books, and I don't see that going away any time soon.  I am one of those who constantly search goodreads for new books (that come out way in the future), and then stalks it for the first reviews to start coming out.  And I have this blog to thank for my ruined time management skills. :)

This year has been so fantastic!  We had the 2nd Annual YA Crush Tourney, which although it had a rocky start, ending up being legen---wait for it---dary!  We had over 500,000 votes cast throughout the tournament, and we were all giddy when Adrian won. 

And...the biggest deal of all?  We hit 2 MILLION HITS this year!!!  What a milestone.  We never imagined how amazing this blog would do, and we are all so happy to see it doing so well.  Plus, the friends we have made through blogging are amazing, and we love talking books and boys with them.

So, to celebrate our 2nd Blogoversary, we are going to be doing a few giveaways.  There isn't a set schedule to when they are going to post, so be sure to check back often to see if another one has started! 

Here are a few of the books/arcs we will be giving away:

If We Kiss and Kiss Me Again by Rachel Vail
Crash and Burn by Michael Hassan
Nobody by Jennifer Lynn Barnes
Belonging by Karen Ann Hopkins
How To Lead A Life of Crime by Kirsten Miller
Touch of Death by Kelly Hashway

It's possible we will be adding more!!!

Lastly, we just want to say a big THANK YOU to all our followers and friends who have commented, voted, and supported us with this blog!!!!

It's Our 1 Year BLOGOVERSARY

Guys! It’s hard to believe that Amy and I started the YA Sisterhood one year ago. I remember sitting on my couch, working on that background, asking Amy which book covers we should include in the background. I remember posting that first review (the wonderful Starcrossed by Josephine Angelini) and being ecstatic over the 10 hits we got. I remember screaming when Josephine herself tweeted about the review on twitter. 


We’ve come a long way since then (but I still scream every time we interact with an author). On a whim, last summer (after only a few months blogging), we decided to hold a tournament pitting hot YA boys against each other. We grew up in a sports household, but talking about Jace and Peeta is much more entertaining for us than talking about UT and OSU. The next thing we knew, our hits exploded, and people all over the world were chiming in with their favorite YA Crushes. Authors that we obsessed over in private were tweeting about it on Twitter and mentioning it on their blogs. Our blog grew exponentially, expanding from about 100 followers to a 1000 within two months time. We made some fantastic blogger friends (here’s looking at you advocates!), formed relationships with some of our favorite authors, added a sister-in-law and a few honorary sisters, and had more fun than we ever could have anticipated. You guys know how the story goes from there… we continued blogging and strengthening those relationships. Then we held the Heroine Tourney, which allowed us to celebrate the counterpoints of those YA Crushes that had started it all. And now we’ve come full circle. In a year, we’ve had over 900,000 hits, and are approaching that big MILLION mark. 


This blog has become so much more than we ever planned. And we have you all to thank for that! Seriously, we love opening our emails to see comments from you guys. We can waste hours talking books with you on Twitter. And to thank you all for your wonderful support, we’re holding our SUPER MEGA GIGANTIC AWESOME BLOGOVERSARY GIVEAWAY!  We’ve got ARCS! We’ve got signed books! We’ve got SWAG! And we want you all to have a chance to win it! So, thanks again for everything you’ve done!!!


Starting this weekend, we will start celebrating!  Be sure to come back tomorrow to enter our 1st giveaway to thank all of you for such an amazing year!
