Wow... my first contest...

So right now, I am so nervous, yet excited. Lets just go to the giveaways...

Nation by Terry Pratchett

It was very fantastic and just an incredible book. It is about a boy that loses his family and everything by a giant wave. A English girl lands on the island and they have to work through language and cultural difference to build a Nation.

It is an ARC that I got from Harper

Aurelia by Anne Osterlund
Princess Aurelia is the next in the line for the throne, and her life is in danger. When her school friend, Robert returns. She is excited. Robert has returned in order to figure out, who is trying to kill Aurelia. Soon, she finds out that she is in danger and helps to find who is trying to kill her. I loved this book.
This book is also signed. =D

Dark Dude by Oscar Hijuelos
After, having a hard time fitting in New York. Rico decides to move to Wisconsin, to cut loose from his old life. Soon he finds that their are somethings, you can't runaway from.
It was a fairly good book, but hard to get into.
