Hello Everyone! I am very excited to be hosting my very first giveaway here! I am hoping that I will be able to do one a month!
I am extremely excited about this one and had a hard time waiting until today to make the announcment. As many of you know who read my blog, I absolutely adore The False Princess! I am thrilled to be hosting this giveaway!
I would first off, like to thank Mary and the team from Egmont USA for being such a pleasure to work with, and providing the swag for our giveaway. And last but not least, a big thanks to Eilis O'Neal for taking the time to autograph the books for the giveaway!
Here are just a few short reviews of the book to wet your appetite! Courtesy of the folks over at Egmont USA.
Readers will be reminded of…authors like Gail Carson Levine and Robin McKinley when they pick up this gorgeous fantasy novel. Romantic Times (4.5 stars, highest rating).
I couldn't put this book down. Who doesn't love a great story about a princess? Not only is this book really well paced, perfectly developed and has great characters (omg, Kiernan is AWESOME!!!), it is imaginative and completely original. This isn't really my genre at all, but this was absolutely the best book I've read in a long time--of any genre. Quin Swiney, amazon.com reviewer. (5 stars)
I would also like to let you know that The Association of Children’s Booksellers has chosen The False Princess as one of their New Voices picks for 2011. So a big Congrats to you Eilis!
Now on to the giveaway! We will be giving away TWO signed copies of the False Princess by Eilis O'Neal along with a bookmark. We will also be picking 5 additional winners who will recieve a False Princess bookmark!

I'm not entering since I already have the book, but I tweeted for you and if I get on later I'll tweet again. I'll try to help spread the word! Are you on twitter? I'm not finding a follow on twitter button so I thought I'd ask.
