This contest will be running throughout the entire month of October!


What will I be winning?
The Vampire Queen's Servant (Vampire Queen #1) by Joey W. Hill
The Vampire Queen's Servant by Joey W. Hill

I accidently purchased a copy when I had one on the way from Paperbackswap.com! So I am giving one away in a contest!

What do I need to do in order to be eligable?
**Complete the October monthly challenge!
There is a minimum of two books to read for the October monthly challenge (more for you hard core readers but for the sake of this contest the minimum two will do).
**Once you finish this challenge you must review both books and link them here.
If your review is on goodreads just a post telling me both reviews are done and I can view your profile to find them - just make sure your profile is PUBLIC :D

Keep in mind, you have the entire month of October to do this in, and even if you don't like the book that's ok! Your review can be good or bad, after all no one is expecting you to love every book! Right? :D

How do I enter?!
Once you meet the requirements just post here to let us know! (with the link of your review if its outside of Goodreads)

How will you be doing the entries?
Easy! As long as you meet the requirements listed above, you will be entered to win! If there are more then one (which I hope there will be!) then I will use a random number generator to assign the winner! (with each entry given a number)

The contest for this month is based off of our October challenge : http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/2...

So you get to choose your books depending on what theme you choose. You just need to read two and then review them and post here when thats done :)

Just get them done before the last day of the month :D

Woot :D


Unapologetic_Bookaholic I read Storm Born but only rated it 3 stars. I don't 'officially' review 3 star ratings but I'll post it here for the contest.

I liked Eugenie and Kiyo as the main characters. I liked the idea of her being able to walk between our world the Otherworld and the Underworld. I liked the fact that Kiyo was 'other' and even after Eugenie found out some other secrets she still loved him. Her rescue of him was really romantic for an UF.

The setting of the Otherworld was quite unique and even though I rated it 3 I look forward to reading THORN QUEEN. There are too many characters and questions to be answered not to want to follow the series.

It just seemed like a long book to get to where it ended. But it was a first in series and a lot had to be put out there. I loved the writing style.

Awesome Kenjii, thanks!

Remember you need 2 from the challenges to be eligible :D


ஐ Katya (Book Queen)ஐ (katyabookqueen) I read quite a few books for the Oct challenge this month. I review almost every book I read, although I don't usually review children's books and some of these were.

I don't know how to link to actual reviews but here are a couple I read and reviewed:
Murder, She Wrote Trick or Treachery
Full Moon Halloween


Unapologetic_Bookaholic I will use Storm Born as my 'witch' book. She was a shaman which is like a witch. And I will use A new Earth for my Orange Book. I reviewed it. So 2/2 =D.

I don't want anyone to miss out!

Although if that one isn't orange enough, how about On the Edge and my review is here.
On the Edge (The Edge, #1) by Ilona Andrews

message 19: by Jackie (new)

Jackie (Literary Escapism) (literaryescapism) Yes that's my website, but don't enter me in the contest. I was just throwing it up so I wouldn't be left out. I didn't think of adding this to the contest post (and not here) until after I done it. I already own a copy, so I don't need another one. ;)
