I am a big fan of giving. I like buying presents for people all year round, but obviously, this time of year brings out the giving in everyone. So I want to give something to you guys, who have given me such wonderful and really, really appreciated support on my blog. I love you all.
I’ve decided to do a giveaway for a copy of My True Love Gave to Me, which I reviewed on my blog through a series of mini reviews of all twelve stories. Here’s the links to all of my mini reviews from the book. Make sure you stick around for the giveaway at the bottom!
Rainbow Rowell’s “Midnights” – Such a wonderful way to start off the book. One of my favorites.
“The Lady and the Fox” by Kelly Link – Somewhat annoying writing style but pretty cool story
Matt de la Peña’s “Angels in the Snow” – This one kind of felt like a Lifetime made-for-TV movie. Just kind of cheesy and lots of drama and all that jazz.
Jenny Han’s “Polaris is Where You’ll Find Me” – A cute story with a sweet, hopeful ending but a whiny and spoiled main character
Stephanie Perkins’ “It’s a Yuletide Miracle, Charlie Brown” – SWOON. That is all.
David Levithan’s “Your Temporary Santa” – This story kind of made me feel melancholy even though it’s about Santa and Christmas.
Holly Black’s “Krampuslauf” – I liked the characters, the story, the magic, the uniqueness, the writing style, everything. One of my favorites.
Gayle Forman’s “What the Hell Have You Done, Sophie Roth?” and Myra McEntire’s “Beer Buckets and Baby Jesus” (in one review) – Surprisingly, I liked Gayle Forman’s story. Myra McEntire’s wasn’t one of my favorites but was still enjoyable.
Ally Carter’s “Star of Bethlehem” and Laini Taylor’s “The Girl Who Woke the Dreamer” (in one review) – “Star of Bethlehem” was forgettable and kind of stupid. “The Girl Who Woke the Dreamer” was one of the stories I loved the most for the epic fantasy aspect, but it did have its problems.

Oh! I love short stories. 🙂 And I’m loving some of those titles. Definitely a book I want to read at some point.
Thanks for the giveaway! ^_^
Oops! Forgot to say- based on the mini-reviews, I’m probably most excited to read “Midnights” or “Your Temporary Santa”. 🙂
Those were both great stories – I preferred Midnights though. Very sweet. 🙂 Good luck!
Thanks for a chance to win — I’d love to re-read some of these stories next year! Since I’ve read it, I’ll leave that Rowell’s and Forman’s were some of my favorites. I felt like I either loved the story or just felt “meh” about it.
I definitely understand that. There were several that were just kind of meh for me, but I loved Rainbow’s and was surprised to like Forman’s. 🙂 Good luck!
I just really want to read the whole book, but if I had to choose just one story please tear out the Holly Black and send me those pages.
Haha! Holly Black’s story was one of my favorites. Very cool. Good luck!
I’ve read it already, LOVED IT SO MUCH. My favorites stories were the ones by: Rainbow Rowell, Matt de la Peña, Myra McEntire, Kiersten White, and Stephenie Perkins. I can’t just pick one, honestly!
Thanks for the giveaway 🙂

I think the Rainbow Rowell story would be my favorite! I love her books! Great Blog!
Midnights – Rainbow Rowell’s story – was absolutely wonderful. Thank you! Good luck. 🙂
There are so many incredible authors included in this project, but Rainbow is my girl. She could write the phone book and I would read it. Love her!
Haha! Yes! I loved her story. 🙂 Good luck!
This book is like my favorite authors are hanging out in one coffee shop together ❤
Oh my goodness. YES! I completely agree. 🙂
I think I am most excited to read “Angels in the Snow” as I saw the picture of the cat, but I also love to read the stories from Rainbow Rowell and Stephanie Perkins.
The Michael de la Pena one was fun. 🙂 Good luck!
I am most excited about Holly Black’s story, i love her! Also excited about her new book coming out next year but I’m not sure if I’ll get around to buying it…
I loved her story. It was really cool. I’m excited for The Darkest Part of the Forest too. It comes out next week! Btw, Barnes and Noble has preorders of it for only $10! Here it is: http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-darkest-part-of-the-forest-holly-black/1119439640?ean=9780316213073

Yay giveaway! I love Rainbow Rowell so I look forward to reading her story.
Her story was absolutely one of my favorites!

Oh, there’s so many awesome authors in this, but if I’d have to choose, I’d choose Stephanie Perkins. I’m counting on a cute Christmas read ❤
Oh, it’s such a great story. Loved that one.
Good luck!
Such an awesome giveaway Stefani, thanks!
Thanks for entering, Jessica! Good luck and happy holidays!
It’s impossible to choose just one because so many amazing authors are on this list, but I think maybe Laini Taylor or Ally Carter’s stories sound the most interesting.
I agree: so many awesome authors to choose from.
Good luck!
I think either the Stephanie Perkins or the Holly Black one would be my favorite!
Those were both really great!
Good luck!
Obviously, I’m stoked about the Perkins story. I adore that ginger lady.
Obviously, I loved that one. 🙂
Good luck!
Such a cool giveaway 🙂 I clicked on the picture and nothing happened though
Oh no! Hmmm. It works on mine. Thanks for the heads up! I’ll work on fixing it.
It just shows me the picture but bigger ^^ no problems, I’ll try a bit later then 🙂
Okay. It works on all of my computers and mine and my mom’s phones. Would you mind checking to see if it works for you? I’ve got all my fingers and toes crossed!
Well, it never worked on my phone but it worked now on my computer 🙂
Hmmm. That’s so weird. Well, I’m glad it worked! Good luck!
