Debut Author Giveaway - I'm feeling like a Cyborg! Open Internationally


2012 Debut Author Giveaway Hop
Hosted by I Am A Reader, Not A Writer & The Non Reluctant Reader
June 7th to 13th

Featuring books released in 2012 by Debut Authors


I've struggled to get this post up because I've been in the hospital.  I haven't had any computer access so I'm sorry this is late! 

I'm reading the book Cinder by Marissa Meyer right now.  It seems like an appropriate book to offer for giveaway as I'm feeling a little cyborg like with all the titanium that is now a permanent part of me.

My own leg reminds me a lot of the cover of Cinder!

Humans and androids crowd the raucous streets of New Beijing. A deadly plague ravages the population. From space, the ruthless lunar people watch, waiting to make their move. No one knows that Earth’s fate hinges on one girl. . . . 
Cinder, a gifted mechanic, is a cyborg. She’s a second-class citizen with a mysterious past, reviled by her stepmother and blamed for her stepsister’s illness. But when her life becomes intertwined with the handsome Prince Kai’s, she suddenly finds herself at the center of an intergalactic struggle, and a forbidden attraction. Caught between duty and freedom, loyalty and betrayal, she must uncover secrets about her past in order to protect her world’s future.


So for this Debut Author Hop I am offering a copy of Cinder by Marissa Meyer.

I'll ship a paperback copy from Amazon or The Book Depository or gift a Kindle copy to the winner.




a Rafflecopter giveaway

I will do my bet to try to get this linky update throughout the day today but my computer access is very limited.

    Thanks for the giveaway. My sister has a rod and srews in her leg she has had them for about 15 years. Hoping you have a quick recovery.

    That's sorta neat that your giveaway coincides with what's going on. In an ironic-oh-god-why-does-it-have-to-be-ironic kind of way!

    I have some metal in me as well from my previous surgeries, but since I was a kid at the time it's not much. I don't beep when I go through metal detectors, but I do still flinch a little anticipating that the machines will get stronger eventually, then it will be like uh-oh. Perhaps I need to get my doctors on speed dial for the near future!

    Hope your recovery is going well!

    Bless your heart! Those pictures are pretty cool esp seeing them right by the Cinder cover, but I hate the reason you have them up :( Hope you have a speedy recovery!

    Oh my gosh!
    Those are you?

    Nice to see you back, and kicking? Remember when you weigh yourself from now on subtract the pins. It will make you feel better than the rest of us who have to lift their hair (like me) or blame the water from the shower (like my ex.) :-)

    It's not at all funny what happened to you, but that post was hysterical, with the x-rays, reading Cinder and feeling like the book cover. Hope you're mending quickly.
