__________________________________________________________

It’s a little known fact that I hoard books.

It’s also a little known fact that I buy some of them with the asinine intention of completing the series, regardless of how much I, er, didn't like the first book.

There are multitudes of reasons why I buy books; and I’m sure that if my husband caught wind of all the stupid reasons I buy them, he’ll cut me off faster than I can say, FLOUNCE.

These books for instance.


If you truly know me, then you'd know first hand how much I adore Australian authors. This is one of those times when I threw caution to the wind and spent an enormous amount of money shipping these books from Australia. Sigh. Unfortunately, our love affair didn't last. I had to break it off with the old, it's not you, it's me routine. 

Love triangle. ✓ 
Wishy-washy character. ✓ 
Unoriginal take on the angels myth. ✓

We're just not meant to be, yanno?

Now, there are supposed to be five books to this series and I managed(?!) to buy all four. In US and in Canada, there are only two of these books out. They are:


So how about I play cupid and try to make a love match between one lucky reader and all four of The Violet Eden Series, the Aussie version? Sounds good? Enter below:

  1. INTERNATIONAL
  2. Must be at least 13 years of age to enter.
  3. Host (that's me) WILL NOT be responsible for items lost in the mail. I'm not kidding. I keep saying this and yet when someone wins a book here and they say they didn't get it, I go ahead and compensate. Well, I'm not doing that anymore. So please. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ITEMS LOST IN THE MAIL. Mmmkay? Thanks. 
  4. Winner will be notified via email and will have 24 hours to reply with their deets or another winner will be drawn. 
Check 'em out!

  1. Ahhh, you have all FOUR??? I love this series... Thank you so much for the giveaway! I also have the problem of buying an entire series before reading book 1... I think my mind expects me to love the series and want to immediately read all the books back to back without any wait.

  2. Just to answer the questions, I think you are but you know I love you :)

    Can I just rant about how inconsistent the US cover is? I mean seriously... the first one is totally different from the second one. I've heard good things about the series, sad that it didn't work out well.

  4. My husband doesn't understand my book issues, sometimes you just have to have them. I have done the same thing, bought the whole series like they are going to disappear if I don't get all of them right now. There is also the lazy factor, if I like one I don't want to find myself running out in pajamas to get the next in the series because I can't wait.

  20. I read their synopsis and they sounds great!
    I think it's just different for everyone. And, an author can't please all readers as well, of course.
    If ever I win, I wish I would like them! :)

  25. I have book issues with my dad. He's always saying "Why you have to buy more books?" and I'm always like "Dude, calm down, I already read the ones I have". If I tell him I want books for birthday or for Christmas he's always makes this face O.o LOL!. (Ileana A.-rafflecopter)
