20. Fat Cat by Robin BrandeThe books listed are not in any particular order, I couldn't bring myself to order those - I loved each for a different reason! I want to add in all the others I loved as well, but 32 was just too many. It was only supposed to be a list of 10! :D
Bree Despain's debut novel, THE DARK DIVINE was a late December release, so it is almost a 2010 book. In fact, some may consider it a Tenner. I want this amazing novel to be on some Best of 2010 lists next year, so I'm giving away an arc of THE DARK DIVINE to one lucky winner!

ReplyDeleteFollowers who began following BEFORE the Darklight contest! Those would be old followers. I'm going to be paying a lot in shipping, and I wanted to be sure that if I'm paying a lot for shipping, it is going to someone who actually reads THS, not just follows for contests! I'm sorry for the exclusion. But next time, around, those of you who are ineligible will be able to enter! :D
