Winners Announced + Goodbye from Beverley

Hi, guys!  So some of you were asking about winners of the blogoversary giveaways and I've been terribly busy lately with school so I didn't have time to sort out contacting winners etc.  Anyways, here are the winners of our blogoversary giveaways:

Win a YA Book of Your Choice: Hannah T, who chose Anna Dressed in Blood by Kendare Blake

Simon & Schuster YA Prize Pack: Sam Bella

Templar Prize Packs: Lucinda Fountain, who chose Prize Pack #1, and Sarah Elizabeth (runner-up)

A Copy of Kiss, Date, Love, Hate by Luisa Plaja: Kristia M

Valentine's Tea Party giveaway: Aa'Ishah

Thanks to all of you who entered and also to the winners who replied to my notification emails so promptly!  I hope you all enjoy your prizes!

So before I sign off - you probably noticed from the title of this post - but I have to say GOODBYE!  Don't worry, I'm not leaving forever but I AM taking a hiatus.  You might have realised that I haven't been around much lately and that it's mostly been Jen keeping you entertained.  School has just been rather hectic, what with getting units finished in time for exams in May.  So, now I've decided that it's a good time to take a break to focus on my studying - I want to be as prepared for the exams as possible!  As I far as I know right now, Jen is okay with keeping things together (how does she do it?!) so there'll still be reviews and posts for you to read and the blog won't be completely empty.  

I'll miss you guys and your blogs but keep an eye out for my return in June (I will probably bombard your posts with enthusiastic comments)!  If you want to contact me, I'll still be reachable by email and I might pop up on Twitter from time to time so it's not like I'm slipping into COMPLETE absence.

Also, a note for authors, if you're interested in having us promote your novel etc. please direct your requests to Jen as she will be in charge  during my absence so it's best if things are arranged through her.  Requests sent to me will most likely be ignored.

Oh, and many apologies to the publishers who are still waiting for reviews.  I am VERY behind schedule and haven't finished a single book in about three weeks!  Once I return, I'll be reading like a maniac during summer to get reviews delivered.  Thank you for your understanding and patience.

Happy reading,

Beverley xxx

270 Follower Giveaway Winners!

So glad to be home!  You may (or may not) have noticed my absence for the past few days: I was on my final DofE hike :( It was certainly very tiring and I'm very happy to be returning to the blogosphere!

Anyway, my 270 Followers Giveaway ended last week and I'd like to take this chance to thank all of those who entered and supported it!  I promised there would be two winners if I reached more than 500 GFC followers and I'm now at 561!  THANK YOU ALL SO SO MUCH!!! And I'd like to announce the winners here officially:

Sonia @ The Story Queen who has chosen Storm by Brigid Kemmerer

and

Zoe @ Bookhi who has picked Hunting Lila by Sarah Alderson

I ordered the books before I left for my hike so they should be with you soon, girls!  I hope you enjoy them - I was really tempted to buy a copy of each for myself!

That's all from me today! I'm currently reading like a madwoman so that I can post a review soon!
