Giveaway: February New Release Giveaway Hop

Welcome to the February New Release Giveaway Hop hosted by It Starts At Midnight! 

This giveaway is open to international entries as long as The Book Depository ships to you! You can check here. If you are a US winner, I will likely ship from Amazon so that you can receive your book faster. The winner can choose any February 2018 New Release book up to $17 USD. The winner will have 48 hours to respond by email with their address and book of choice. If you are a winner that prefers an e-book copy sent from Amazon instead of a physical book, then let me know in your response. After 48 hours a new winner will be chosen. No exceptions. Must be 18 or have your parent's permission to enter. Void where prohibited. This giveaway has no affiliation with Twitter, Facebook, Blogger, or any other entity. Not responsible for lost, stolen, or misdirected prizes. Giveaway ends February 28th @11:59PM CST.

Let's have a look at some of the New Releases from February 2018 that I am looking forward to! (Click on the cover to add it on Goodreads!)
