I captured my initial reaction to Laini Taylor’s Daughter of Smoke and Bone on Good Reads, which I copied below:
“Holy. Crap.
This book was AMAZING!
I loved Every. Single. Word.
Daughter of Smoke and Bone is a beautiful example of what YA literature could be, and what I strive for in my own fiction. I wish books like these were available to me when I was a YA, but at least I can appreciate them and revel in them now!
Brava, Laini Taylor, for crafting such a remarkable story!”
Daughter of Smoke and Bone will launch on Tuesday, September 27, but I was lucky enough to read an ARC of it back in June, thanks to my dear friend and crit partner, Kayla (which I talk about HERE) and I remember gushing about it to my friend, Carol who was awesome enough to give me a signed ARC (which I talk about HERE.))
I plan on putting up a full review of Daughter of Smoke and Bone this week, because, DUDE, you all need to read this book. For reals, yo.
In fact, I believe this book is SO WORTH THE READ, that I will give away a finished copy to one lucky reader! (Besides, it’s my 8th wedding anniversary, so, I’m feeling generous!)
That’s right: I WILL GIVE AWAY ONE COPY of Daughter of Smoke and Bone because this book is ridiculously awesome! *confetti*

Dude, that’s exactly what I thought when my friend Kayla first told me about it! Honestly, if someone just told me the concept and summary, I’d be interested, but the title definitely sold me on it!
Great giveaway. I always get so excited to read a book when someone has such wonderful things to say about it. (I guess that’s the whole point, right? Well, It totally works on me.) <– Look. I'm using parenthesis, too! LOL
I'm tweeting and FB'ing about the giveaway, so put me down for 2 extra enties. ๐ Fingers crossed.
Yay for parentheses! and good luck!!!
