Spooktacular Book Giveaway Hop!

       The nights are getting longer,  the air is getting colder, and Halloween is getting closer.  In honor of Halloween drawing near I'm excited to be a part of the Spooktacular book giveaway hop! The blog hop is being hosted by I Am A  Reader, Not A Writer and Diary of a Bookworm.   There are over 400 blogs involved in this book giveaway blog hop so please stop by HERE and see what everyone is giving away.

      I wanted to give my readers four wonderful books for my giveaway.  One is a witchcraft mystery, one is about a witch, ones a BBQ mystery, and one is an emotional journey of a boy and a girl.  One reader will win all 4 books!

1.  Secondhand Spirits by Juliet Blackwell is the first book in the witchcraft mystery series.

2.  Finger Lickin' Dead by Riley Adams is the 2nd book in the Memphis BBQ mystery series.

3.  Black Magic Sanction by Kim Harrison is the 8th book in the Rachel Morgan (The Hollows) series about a witch, a vampire, and a pixie.  This is one of my favorite series!

  1. This is probably a poor entry. I don't have a favorite Halloween book (other than Arthur's Halloween and Clifford's Halloween Parade that I seem to end up reading more often than just in October to my little girl!). I am constantly reading but nothing coincides with holidays. The last book I read was Scott Westerfield's Leviathan.

  2. I LOVE any of the Harry Potter series, Twilight or A Discovery of Witches. COMPLETELY gets me in the Halloween mood!
