Update: The winner is… Courtney Renee! Thanks for participating!
Today I’m giving a shout out to book birthday sister Gwen Hayes, whose DREAMING AWAKE hit the shelves on the same day as BITTERSWEET. In honor of our shared release, I’m giving away a signed copy of DREAMING AWAKE, the second book in her popular FALLING UNDER series, to one random commenter (US mailing addresses only, please)!
About Dreaming Awake
From Goodreads:
She fell for him in a nighttime world. But the time for dreaming is past—and the here-and-now can be just as fragile their love…
When Theia Alderson first encountered a mysterious, handsome boy in her dreams, she never imagined how finding Haden Black—and falling in love—could change her life. To save Haden, Theia sacrificed everything. And the dangerous bargain she made could have lasting repercussions.
Now Theia has returned to Serendipity Falls, and she finds herself struggling with the same deadly hungers that have tortured Haden. When students at their high school fall prey to a mysterious illness, Theia can’t help but wonder if Haden’s control is slipping—and how much longer she’ll have a grip on her own.
And still the nightmare realm of Under won’t let them go. Someone from Haden’s past is determined to destroy Theia from the inside out, starting with those closest to her, forcing Theia to choose between family and friends and a love that may have been doomed from the start
Sounds like the perfect read for these freezing cold days we’ve been having lately!

This sounds good! My dream is to keep reading and my evil plan is to get my students to read more than they ever dreamed possible!
My dreams this year involves making it through this semester alive! Doing great at the College student newspaper and getting a HUGE dent of my novel taken care of!
My dreams are to read as many books as i can this year. My to be read pile is huge and my list of books to buy is even bigger lol.
It’s always been a “dream” of mine to publish a collection of poetry or a novel. It is my “goal” this year to fulfil my 50-book reading pledge for 2012 and to complete a collection of poetry and/or a collection of short stories. One of my more “lofty” dreams is to vacation with my husband for a few weeks in Europe…ahh…that would be wonderful (and well-deserved)!
