Rainbow Rowell book facts and a GIVEAWAY!

Rainbow Rowell is hot, hot, HOT right now! Her first YA book, Eleanor & Park, has made it to the hands of a lot of readers. Those readers have been adoring it!

Rainbow also has one other book currently out in the wild: Attachments. This is an adult book, her first to be published.

She also has a third book coming out in September, her second YA book, called Fangirl. I will be reviewing Fangirl here on my blog soon!

Her fourth book, another adult book, is due in 2014. The title of that one will be Landline.

For this giveaway, one winner will get to choose a Rainbow Rowell book as his/her prize! This is an International giveaway, as long as The Book Depository ships to your location.

Attachments or Eleanor & Park will ship ASAP, but Fangirl will be a pre-order and ship after the release date in September.

As with all of my giveaways, you need to be 13+ and enter the Rafflecopter with one account. No cheating or I shall look at you with sad eyes and disqualify your entries. Don't be that kind of person about a book! Please.

The giveaway begins today, July 21 and will end at 11:59 PM on July 31. A winner will be randomly chosen from the Rafflecopter entries and emailed. The winner will have 48 hours to respond to my email. If no response, a new winner will be selected.
