...are free are books ARE FREE BOOKS.

When I'm not trawling jobstreet, or worrying my self silly about the boards, or doing usual yaya stuff reserved for the Graduate Yet Unemployed, I join book giveaway contests.

It is currently the reason for my existence.

I feel this is a by-effect of getting The Demon's Lexicon four months earlier than the rest of the world by sheer enormous luck (on my first try, ladies and gentlemen, how awesome is that?). I now feel compelled to scour the depths of the internet and beyond, and try my luck at every given opportunity. I find my recent internet ubiquity kind of embarrassing, but shame is null and void where free books are involved.

Why don't you try your luck and join these contests as well? It's fun! And anyway, the books will be totally worth it.

This lovely woman is giving away two lovely ARCs from her set of 21 titles, which includes Collin's Catching Fire, The Eternal Kiss, and Melinda Lo's Ash.
