Nope, not my cake! Although I dreamed that it was, if that counts. ;)
You know you're cool WHEN... you forget your own blogoversary! x) I can't believe I didn't remember the exact date! March 26, 2011 was the day I created this blog and posted my first (and kind of embarrassing) post, meaning that Mimi Valentine's YA Review Blog (which really needs a new name haha) is officially one year old!
I kind of feel nostalgic right now. :')
Thank you SO MUCH to everyone for your support and your comments and your overall awesomeness, and for not feeling creeped out by me when I drop by your blog. ♥ I hope you guys know that reading what you guys have to say (and gush about) is always what makes blogging worth it. This year wouldn't have been the same without all of you! :)
Soooo..... you want to know about the giveaway, right?
The Rules:
- There will be TWO winners.
- Giveaway ends on May 1, 2012 @ 11:59 p.m.
- Be a follower (through GFC or RSS).
- Be 13 or older.
- Live anywhere that The Book Depository ships to (which is basically everywhere!)
- Fill out the form.
The Prize:
Since this is very last minute (and I mean just-shot-out-of-bed-last-night-and-realized-I'm-an-idiot last minute), I'll stick with the prize for my regular monthly giveaway except there will be TWO winners instead of one. I hope that's okay for now!
Each of the winners will get to choose any one book from the list of anticipated near-April releases below! Or if you would like another book that releases around this time instead, I could definitely substitute that in as long as it's under $20 (USD). :)

Take a Bow by Elizabeth Eulberg

The Calling by Kelley Armstrong
Kill Me Softly by Sarah Cross
The Immortal Rules by Julie Kagawa
Storm by Brigid Kemmerer
Unraveling by Elizabeth Norris
Masque of the Red Death by Bethany Griffin
Just enter through the widget below. Since I always forget to announce the winners after I email them, I decided to use Rafflecopter for the first time because they can be shown straight from the giveaway post. But this is my first time, so just bear with me! :)

April is going to be a pretty crazy month, and I can already tell that it's going to be filled with awesome books too! I can't wait to see what the rest of you are up to as well! :) ♥
