I am so excited to be doing my first ever giveaway on the blog! Recently, I went to the Decatur Book Festival, where I met Stephanie Perkins! She was lovely, and she signed a copy of Anna and the French Kiss for me to give away (Don’t worry. I checked that it was okay!) If you haven’t noticed, I loved all three books in this series: Anna and the French Kiss, Lola and the Boy Next Door, and Isla and the Happily Ever After – and by love, I mean completely fangirled over each book. The opportunity to possibly have someone else fall in love with them through this giveaway makes me so happy.
The giveaway will run until 5 p.m. CST on Monday, September 22, 2014 – three weeks from now. See below for how to enter!
Anna and the French Kiss
Author: Stephanie Perkins
Series: Anna and the French Kiss
Summary:
Anna is looking forward to her senior year in Atlanta, where she has a great job, a loyal best friend, and a crush on the verge of becoming more. Which is why she is less than thrilled about being shipped off to boarding school in Paris–until she meets Étienne St. Clair. Smart, charming,beautiful, Étienne has it all…including a serious girlfriend.
But in the City of Light, wishes have a way of coming true. Will a year of romantic near-misses end with their long-awaited French kiss?

My favorite place in the world is Mike’s Organic Oasis (aka my garden that my husband built me. I am blessed to live int he prettiest place on the planet. I live here because when I was a girl I read a book about Montana and moved here when I was 21. I have to admit my favorite place I have always wanted to visit is Paris. It’s about the only thing left I have to do on my bucket list so I’m not in that big of a hurry. I share your passion for books and really like your blog.
I followed you on twitter as @JackieMarie and bloglovin as JacksterMT and on wordpress as Jackie Beyer :~)
I love that you have a name for your garden! That’s sweet. 🙂 I have never been to Montana, but I’ll have to make a point to do so if it’s so pretty!
Thanks for entering, Jackie!
Okay, I hope this isn’t a cop out answer but… my favorite place is within the pages of my books 🙂 It’s always lovely to travel and go to different places, but through reading, I can do all of that in the comfort of my own room haha (cheesy, I know). Besides, being an introvert, having time to myself and my favorite fictional characters without distraction is the best feeling in the world!

Hi, Stefani! My favorite place in the world is New York City. Having grown up in North Carolina, I’ve always admired the fast paced lifestyle, accessibility, and uniqueness of NYC!

My favourite place is at the beach, by the sea – any weather!
(Also I follow you on Twitter (@PianistsReadToo) and tweeted the thing – https://twitter.com/PianistsReadToo/status/511627182318563329)
Thanks for the opportunity to enter – I’ve been wanting to get my hands on this book for ages!
Thanks for entering! 🙂
My favorite place is under a great big oak tree in the fall reading a good book! You can go so many places with a good book.
Sounds perfect to me!
Thanks for entering, Susan!
That looks like a cool book – love a W girl website!
Oh and my favorite place in the world (that I’ve been to) is my childhood summer camp in Wiggins, Miss. I’m pretty sure if I ever get out to Ireland, that will bump it out though!
Thanks for entering, Sarah! Ireland is pretty wonderful (I’m a bigger fan of Scotland though), but it’s hard to beat a favorite place from your childhood. 🙂
Also, i follow you on twitter, my handle is @shereadsheblogs and ill head over to instagram to follow you there as well (look for she_reads_she_blogs )
Excellent giveaway! I can’t enter (UK, sob sob) but my favourite place is probably a town close to where I live that I always went to as a child during the summer. It’s near the sea, has a kiddy fun park type thing and it’s still fun as an adult. Guess I’m a bit of a home-bird!!
That sounds wonderful!
😦 I wish I could afford to do an international giveaway. Soon hopefully!!

Hi! Thanks for entering. Can you tell me your favorite place in the world? That’s the qualifying task and the others are add ins. 🙂 Don’t want you to get disqualified!
My favourite place in the world is probably my aunt’s house in a small town in England. I’ve visited it so many times while growing up and it’s remained a constant favourite–every time we go back to England, we always end up there. It’s super comforting!
I’m following you on twitter under @AlbatrossAlex and here’s another tweet! https://twitter.com/AlbatrossAlex/status/509142982562308098
That’s so cool! Is it in the English countryside? I never spent too much time there, but it was always beautiful to pass through on the train. I loved it.
Thanks for entering, Alex! 🙂
Yay giveaway! My favorite place in the world is my couch in my living room. I’m a hermit with anxiety issues 🙂 I follow you on Twitter through @stephbookreview
If that’s the place you’re most comfortable than that’s awesome! I love curling up on my couch with a good book. 🙂
Thanks for entering!
Love this giveaway! I’d have to say my favorite place in the world is the French countryside. So calming and relaxing.

Thanks so much for entering!
Awesome giveaway! My favorite place in the world? Tough question! I love this cove near my home, Socrates cove. But i also really love the trees of mystery in northern caliofrnia. I havent been everywhere i want to travel to yet, so its difficult to say with certainty that ive already discovered my FAVORITE place in the world, but so far my home state’s coastal beauty has impressed me the most out of all the places ive been.
The Trees of Mystery? I’ve never heard of that! I’m definitely going to look that up! Thanks for entering. 🙂
Oh, it’s this magical stretch of the northern california redwood forest. Truly breathtaking. And thank YOU for the opportunity to win this book 🙂
