I have decided to host an online 'Book Club' and to celebrate I am hosting my first giveaway!!
The first book for the first ever Book Club is 'Shiver' by Maggie Stiefvater.
"For years, Grace has watched the wolves in the woods behind her house. One yellow-eyed wolf - her wolf - is a chilling presence she can't seem to live without. Meanwhile, Sam has lived two lives: In winter, the frozen woods, the protection of the pack, and the silent company of a fearless girl. In summer, a few precious months of being human... until the cold makes him shift back again.
Now, Grace meets a yellow-eyed boy whose familiarity takes her breath away. It's her wolf. It has to be. But as winter nears, Sam must fight to stay human - or risk losing himself, and Grace, forever."
Sounds like an awesome book doesn't it!! Well that is because it is... check out the awards it has going for it; Debuted at #9 on the New York Times Best Seller List; Indies Choice Book Award Finalist; ALA Best Books for Young Adults; ALA Quick Pick for Reluctant Readers; Amazon Top Ten Books for Teens; Publishers Weekly Best Books of 2009; Border's Original Voices Pick & Finalist; Barnes & Noble 2009 Top Twenty Books for Teens; Glamours best book to curl up with; And the list goes on and on!!
It has to be good because Unique Features has picked up the film rights, it has also been recommended as book of choice for people who enjoyed Twilight!
So on the 27th July 2010 Hazel Loves Design will be hosting Book Club. It is on the 27th as that is my favourite number.. and it will be held the same date every month!!
For the first month we are hosting a giveaway of... wait for it... a copy of the book!!
All you need to do is:
1. Be a follower.
2. Tell me what you think of the Book Club idea... will you join in? What books do you recommend for the coming months? etc etc.
3. Extra points for blogging/twittering/facebooking about the giveaway/bookclub -just let me know in separate messages!
I will be drawing the giveaway on Sunday, which is coincidentally the 27th!! So you'll have plenty of time to read the book and comment about it on July 27th!
Can't wait to hear your opinions about the book!!

Sounds cool! I have 3 books on my next list but I will definitely add this one too! The book club is great. For next month you should nominate a few books and have the members vote on what to read next!

I think it is an excellent idea to start a book club. I would love to participate but must warn you that I rarely have time to read now a days and I look forward to holidays so I can get through some of my pile. Please count me in for the giveaway Hazel, the book sounds great and I am a follower.

Hey Hazel, I'm not here for the book, just NFF! :) I enjoyed all of your WW shots of neutral rooms - especially the living room near the end with the fireplace going. Gorgeous! Have a nice weekend. :)
Here from Friendly Follow! I've never heard of this book but it sounds like something I would certainly read! Thanks for the suggestion!

I love the idea of a book club, I actually wish I belonged to one. I would totally participate as I'm pretty much book obsessed (as can be seen by my Book of the Week posts!)
Oh, and I follow!
Hi I'm new here! Trying to find some great new books to read.
