Okay, guys, so this isn't the easiest thing for me to do, but it needs to be done. I know my husband is tired of adding shelves in my office, and truth be told, there's not really any room to add any more. I've expanded as much as I can. So, if I want to add any more books to my collection, I have to weed some out. Sad, but true. Otherwise, every book I read from now on has to be an ebook. And as much as I love my Nook, I still love the smell of a real book, the feel of turning real pages, and the sense of accomplishment when you shut a book at the end and sigh that final sigh of contentment. Or, as in some cases, throw the book across the room and scream in frustration. Either one doesn't work well if you're reading an ebook.
So, I'm clearing off some shelves to make way for more books. And you guys will reap the benefits. Not a bad deal, huh? I debated and debated how to separate the books for this giveaway. There are
nineteen books in this giveaway, afterall:
Do I do three boxes of books, approximately six in each one? Or, since the majority of what I'm clearing out is vampire-related, do I do a
vampire box and an
other box? In the end, I succumbed to my practical mind and decided that shipping two boxes was plenty, so here are your choices:
The VAMPIRE box:
And the EVERYTHING-BUT-THE-KITCHEN-SINK box:
With the VAMPIRE box, I got a little over-zealous with my book-buying when I first got back into the whole reading thing, when I was pregnant with my daughter. So, I caught a few clearance items at Borders and, even though I hadn't read all of the previous books in a series, I imagined I would, so I bought the clearance books, regardless of the fact that they were books 5 or 7 in a series that I hadn't started or had barely begun at the time. I have since discovered that I either don't have time to start the series or I just can't fathom finishing the series because of the books I have read. Make of that what you will, but regardless, this bodes well for your bookshelf, should you win.
The EVERYTHING-BUT-THE-KITCHEN-SINK box is more ecclectic in taste. There are a couple of ARCs in there, though the finished copies are already out in the wild. There are also some books that were given to me, but that I never had any intention of reading. But I think that there's a little something for everyone in this box. And who knows? I may even add a couple more books to it. I'm feeling generous this week. :)
Enter to win one or the other or both. Makes no difference to me. But the same person will not win both boxes. And without further ado:
The VAMPIRE box:

Spring Cleaning Giveaway Hop 2015
I'm not actually done with my Spring Cleaning yet, and I don't have a complete list of books up for grabs, so I'm just going to offer up a mystery box of books, and if I have more than will fit in the box, I'll give away TWO mystery boxes of books. These will be mixed genres, definitely some YA, and possibly some MG and adult novels, as well. I make no guarantees. =) Sorry, international folks, but due to shipping costs, I'm going to have to make this one US only. My sincerest apologies! But here's an admittedly very blurry picture of the stacks I'll likely be pulling from for this giveaway:
(It's hard to get a non-blurry picture when you're trying to get that many books to fit in one frame!)

Clear Your Shelves Giveaway Hop - Winter 2014 Edition
If you checked out my 2014 Blogging Resolutions & Goals post, you'll know that one of the things I need to work on this year is my propensity to hoard books. So, to kick off the new year right, I'm culling a massive amount of books from my library. Technically, these were already on their way out and were already given space on the great shelf of giveaways (pictured below), but still, they need new homes and I don't like the top of my shelf being cluttered like that. So, they are gone, baby, gone. (Oh, and quite a few of those have already left the building, but I didn't take a more recent picture before I packed them all up. Oops.)
Anyway, I've now got three boxes full of mystery books to give away. One contains the entire Hush, Hush series by Becca Fitzpatrick in hardcover. Another is a miscellaneous box including paperbacks and hardcovers. And the last box is chock full of ARCs -- 13 to be exact. (I didn't do that on purpose, that's just how many happened to fit in the box.)
Which box is which? Your guess is as good as mine. No, seriously...I didn't label them. D'oh! But if you win, you get to pick which box you want: A, B, or C. There will be three winners because I want to see all of these books leave before I have the opportunity to open the boxes back up and decide I want to keep some of those books. Trust me, I am weak-willed when it comes to culling my books. It's like they're a part of me or something. :*(

I'm so excited to make some room on my shelves, and I'm super excited for you guys to win one of the mystery boxes! =) Anyone care to hazard a guess as to which box holds which books? :P

So Many Books So Little Time Giveaway #4
If you're wondering what this giveaway is all about, see my rambling post about the first giveaway in this series.
Time for the fourth installment of my giveaway series! You know...the one where I'm trying to clean off my shelves and you guys reap the benefits. :) In all my cleaning and organizing, I found some series that I won't ever finish, some books that I bought at one of those Borders going-out-of-business sales -- that I probably won't get to for a very long time -- and some more ARCs that I've either already read or that I'm just not interested in.
In recent weeks, I've made some subtractions (previous SMBSLT giveaways) and yes, some more additions to my giveaway shelf, though not too many. Check it out below to see if there's anything you're interested in.
If you want clarification of anything that's on the shelf, just ask. I know this isn't the best picture. :(Scratch that. I'm lazy, this is a mystery box, and I'm not feeling compelled to list out all the books on this shelf. If you want a better pic of the shelf, please reference the last giveaway -- though keep in mind that some of those books are no longer on the shelf pictured above. The question in the giveaway entries is just to get an idea of what books you like, so just take your best guess. =)

So Many Books So Little Time Giveaway #3
If you're wondering what this giveaway is all about, see my rambling post about the first giveaway in this series.
So, I finally, finally got all of my books organized and re-alphabetized after the influx that I've received over the last few months. I found some series that I won't ever finish, some books that I bought at one of the Borders going-out-of-business sales that I probably won't get to for a very long time, and some more ARCs that I've either already read or that I'm just not interested in. In other words, I've added to my giveaway shelf:

Clear Your Shelf Giveaway Hop
It's that time again! I just splurged on some new books and to make room for those, I'm giving away a whole slew of books that I either don't have time for now (and probably won't ever get to) or that I just don't intend to finish:
