Pen to Paper started out as a fledgling blog back at the beginning of September, and already it has become so much more than I thought I could ever make it. Starting only four months ago with no followers, and getting to 850 of you wonderful people in such a short amount of time is wonderful, so thank you for that - you guys have been amazing!I have loads planned for 2012 on the blog - a new look, more giveaways, and plenty more exciting author interviews (with a couple of authors that are quickly becoming favourites of mine!). I will of course keep you all updated on the giveaway and author interview front - I promise you won't be disappointed!
Talking of giveaways...
I have decided that since we are so close to 1000 GFC followers, that it's about time we gave it one last push to get there. So, here is what I propose.
A giveaway - but of the special kind!
The giveaway will last for one week. There will be at least one winner, who will get to choose from the list of wonderful books below (some of which I've enjoyed, and others I'm really looking forward to reading this year). If I reach the magical 1000 GFC followers before the giveaway ends, then a second winner will be chosen!
Before we start, I'd like to lay out a few rules for the giveaway!
- You must be a follower of Pen to Paper to enter (obviously). I will check that you are a follower if you are pulled out as a winner. If you're not, your entry will not count and another winner will be chosen. This giveaway is for my wonderful followers - so become one of them :)
- I will need your follower profile URL in the extra info bit in the Rafflecopter below. To find this, you need to go onto the blogger homepage and find your full profile page. This page should have a list of all the blogs you are following on it. This is the URL I need. If you really can't find it, then leave the exact follower name you follow by on GFC.
- If you are chosen as a winner and I email you, you will have 48 hours to reply to the email. If I don't receive a reply in this time, I will have to draw another winner, and you will lose your prize - sorry but someone has to win!
- I can not be held responsible for any books that are delivered damaged. The prizes will be ordered from The Book Depository, and do not come through me.
- Please don't leave your email address in the comments. I have trouble with this every time I do a giveaway. I use Rafflecopter so that your email addresses are not available to anyone but me (and only then if you win). This is for your own safety :)
- There is one initial entry for following Pen to Paper. There are extra entries available once you have done this one. You don't have to do the extra entries - but they could be the difference between someone else winning, or you winning!
- The giveaway will end on January 9th at 23:59 EST
Right! Now for the fun bit! Which books are up for grabs I hear you ask! Well take a look at these lovelies:
A lovely selection of books to choose from, I think you'll agree!
Now all you need to do to enter is fill in the Rafflecopter below! Good luck!

I'd pick Touch of Power as I'm a big fan of Maria's books!
I'd definitely pick Delirium :)
If i won i will have some difficulties to choose^^; i would like either the touch of power because in my roleplaying club i was often the healer so i 'm feeling i will love this story and heroine. Or i would like Stray because i've read a lot of good review on it and i lost a constest for the whole serie ( and i still have to discover rachel vincent^^;;)
all the best and thanks you for making this giveaway international i really appreciate
Thanks for the giveaway!
I'd choose Delirium... or The Book Thief... or Dead Until Dark. lol I can't choose, so many great picks!
Thanks for the giveaway !
I'd pick Delirium because I've already read great reviews about the book ^^
@Tibiux
Thanks for the chance to win! I would choose The Book Thief. Thanks for the chance to win!
I'm so entering this!! Thanks for the giveaway... it's a great opportunity to try to win "Touch of Power" :D
I would try something different...Stray. Thanks for the chance at a really good giveaway.
Thanks for the giveaway, I would choose Touch of Power!
I love the story of Touch of Power. Thank you for the giveaway!
I'd like either Touch Of Power or Delirium. Those both fascinate me. (I tried to post a comment earlier so if I now have 2, sorry) thanks :)
I have heard so many wonderful things about Delirium! Thanks for the chance!!!
I would probably pick Touch of Power. Thanks for the giveaway, and good luck reaching 1000!
I would choose Delirium because it feels like everyone has read it and said such wonderful things about it!
The book I would choose is Delirium because I hear so many good comments about the book I would love to read it!
Oh, boy! Tough choice!! I haven't read anything yet by Maria Snyder, and her Study series was recommend to me...so I would probably also like Touch of Power. Storm Born sounds right up my alley! Both of them appeal to me.
Thanks for the giveaway!

I will choose the book thief cuz its everyone talks and lol..i feel left out!
If I won I would like Delirium, it looks like a great read and it has been rated fairly highly around the book loving community :)
Richelle Mead for sure is my pick. I've have a few of her books and really like them. I already have all the SVM's which are in my top favorites. Thank you for the giveawy! DeAnna Schultz sacredmoon1(at)gmail(dot)com
Between Shades of Gray. I've read a lot of great reviews about it and now I'm really curious about the story.
Congrats on your followers and thanks a lot for the giveaway!
Happy New Year!
I'd pick The Book Thief. I've heard so many good things about it and would love to read it. Thanks for the giveaway!

I would LOVE Delirium! I heard soooooo many good things about it!
I would love to choose delirium ! I have never read any book of hers but I heard that this book is awesome ! :D
I'd pick Stray, because I wanted to read it for some time now... Or maybe Storm Born, because I love this book and would live to have it on my bookshelf. Thanks for the giveaway!
would choose... Touch of Power by Maria Snyder
Thanks for the giveaway!
Entered as Jayjay Atanacio
The book has only one volume.
I like The historical argument
Between shades of gray, probably..
I would love Between The Shades of Gray =)
Have heard great things about this one!
I would like to read Delirium :-)
Delirium, because I heard so much about it but haven't read it yet)
I think I'd choose Stray, bacause I've read most of the others (Book Thief, Delirium...) and the cover really caught my eye. :)
Dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris because she is a popular author and I have not read any and would like to try her books.
I would go for the Maria Snyder book since I've heard that she is a terrific author! The only book I wouldn't be interested in, though, would be the Charlaine Harris book since I've already read it (and it is terrific!)
Touch of Power is proving to be a really popular choice! I'm so chuffed - it was one of my favourites that I read in 2011!
I'm glad Charlaine Harris is proving to be popular too. She's definitely an author worth reading! My favourite author, in fact! :)
I would choose Touch of Power because I read the review and it made me want to read it.
thanks for the gveaway
Touch of Power by M.V. Snyder. I love her writing! :)
I would choose my love lies bleeding. It was so good!
thanks for the giveaway! I'd choose Delirium or Stray!

You have awesome taste in books! (I can say that 'cause I have most of the ones in this giveaway!!) I haven't read Touch of Power though, and I really like to read it!
Thanks for a great giveaway and good luck in your push towards 1000!!

Thanks for this amazing giveaway! I would love to win Between Shades of Grey because I have read good things about it and can't wait to try it!
I already own 6 of the 9 books and I don't like Richelle Mead so that leaves Stray and Touch of Power. From those two I'd pick Touch of Power as I adored Poison Study (Magic and Fire Study not so much and I haven't read Opal's trilogy (yet)). I'm really hoping that Snyder will get back on track with this book as the synopsis makes it sound so great!
Good luck with your push to the big 1k!

Positively "The Book Theif"! My sister-in-law already read it and I know she adored it; I love the abstract concept of writing from death's point of view and it just seems too interesting to pass up! (:
Between Shades of Grey since i enjoyed reading it!
You have some great books there! I hope you'll get to 1000. Touch of Power is my pick. Thanks for the giveaway and keep on blogging dear!
I think I would choose Between Shades of Gray. I've heard SO MANY wonderful things about it. Thank you so much for the giveaway! I hope you can reach 1000 before too long!! :)
Stray, because I've wanted to read it for forever but it's not in my library, and I'm too cheap/poor to buy it. XD Thanks for the amazing giveaway!!
Thanks for the giveaway and congrats on all the followers. I would choose Working Stiff cause it sounds fun.
I'd choose Storm Born by Richelle Mead. Thanks for another great giveaway, and congrats, you're only 9 more to 1000! I remember when you were still at 50, haha, and now you're at a freakin' thousand! Really amazing.:)
I know CYP! It wasn't that long ago that I was at 50 followers either - it was only back in September! Goodness me, it's all happened very quickly.
My love and thanks go out to you for being such a supportive and loyal follower :) Did you manage to read your prize yet? ;P xxx
