Spring Cleaning Giveaway Hop 2015

It's time for some spring cleaning!

March 20th is the first day of spring, the perfect time to remedy an overflowing bookshelf. 

Spring Cleaning Giveaway Hop - March 20th to 25th

Hosted by I Am A Reader, Not A Writer

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!)

a mystery box of books!!!

Rules:

• This giveaway is US only. I can fit a lot of books in one box, but it also costs quite a bit to ship that one box. :P
• One entry per household. 
• Entries will be verified. Any entry found to be falsified will result in disqualification of all entries for that participant.
• Please note that if you use your Twitter account solely for giveaway entries and you enter using the Tweet about the Giveaway entry, that entry will be disqualified. Please remember that this entry method is to spread the word about the giveaway, not simply increase your chances of winning.
• Winner will be notified via email. Winner will then have 48 hours to respond before another winner will be selected. Please check your SPAM folder!!! 
• We are not responsible for lost packages.

Spring Fever

I don't know about all of you, but I'm in dire need of spring. Look at that beautiful greenery! I took this pic on a hike we did last summer. What I wouldn't give for it to look like that outside right now! lol. 

This past week we actually got up to the 50's!!! We are ready to say goodbye to all this...

As fun as all of that can be, I ready to replace my winter gloves with gardening gloves. 

The picture above is our first lettuce seedlings from last year. I can't freaking wait! Also, the hikes!! Last spring and summer, we finally got into hiking. I say finally, because for years we have lived 5 minutes from Hickory Run State Park. 

Soon we will get to back to enjoying the outdoors. Until then, I'm just going to look at old pics and daydream. 

Anyone else out there excited for Spring?

Top Ten Tuesday: My Spring 2014 TBR

Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by the awesome ladies at The Broke and the Bookish. Apparently, they are overly fond of list-making and love to share their bookish lists with the rest of us book nerds.  =) We're game.

This week's list features the Top Ten Books On My Spring 2014 TBR List:

April's picks:

Some of these are review books and some are not. Now that I have Audible, I will for sure be able to get to a few of these, like World After and Days of Blood and Starlight. Definitely going Audio with those two. The Winners Curse, I definitely have to get to soon, because Jen might kill me if I don't. :-P


Jen's picks:


Most of these I have in my possession and a few I'm waiting with bated breath for release day. But all are high on my priority list, despite the, ahem, schedule of review books I have going. In my defense, one of my resolutions this year was to read what I wanted, when I wanted to read it, and so far, I'm doing a pretty great job at that one. =)

And yes, April, you'd better get on TWC pronto. I need you to love it and then discuss it with me! :D


So, which books are on your TBR pile for this Spring? :)  Share the link to you TTT post so we can visit!
