Awesome giveaway! :D My favorite YA author (currently) is probably Aprilynne Pike. I absolutely adore her writing and the way she creates her ideas and how she plots things out. She can make cliffhangers and plot twists without even intending to do so! I'm a new fan of hers, but a die-hard fan!
I follow your blog via gfc and your twitter @frazzletastic

JK Rowling did an amazing job with Harry Potter. I don't know how she kept all the details and world building fresh and real. Loved it.

Thank you SO much for doing this giveaway. The list of the books you are giving away are PRETTY AWESOME!
My favorite YA author (I have two) are Richelle Mead and Maggie Stiefvater. They are both amazing, and unique with their stories.
There is Richelle who just makes you feel like a real teenager (even if you're an adult). She pulls you into her exciting vampire world that is Vampire Academy.
Then we have Maggie. Oh dearest, she makes you breathless with every word poetry word she writes. Her Wolves of Mercy Falls series is fantastic. She makes you ache and long for what her characters go through. I love it.
I follow you on the blog. (Minamostaza)

I'm crossing my fingers and hope to win this one. Thanks again for giving us this opportunity to have those books on our bookshelves. :)

Hey ! How are you?! Can I just say I love the blog!
Also, thank you for this fantastic giveaway ! The books you are giving away are pretty awesome !
One of my favorite authors is Melissa Marr (Wicked Lovely Series). The way she writes and ideas she comes up with are refreshing and exciting. She is also really cool on Twitter and I don't ever hear her judge any one else. Not only that, but she's also really out going!
I follow you on the blog (lostinbelieving)

Seriously, thank you again !

Hey Lauren,
Wow, what a great giveaway. I have a 16 yr old daughter and I get to read all the books she has finished! My daughter loves JK Rowling and I am loving Kelley Armstrong right now. I feel everything that is happening to Chloe and I love that she has seen ghosts since she was a baby.
I follow you and Twitter @blueeyedadri and on Yalitchat, of course!

You and i have twittered. Im an old follower.
the YA book i loved is twilight. I hadn picked up a book in years. I couldnt read very well in school. so i kinda just quit reading. I wanted to see what my daughters enthusiam was about so i read twilight. I loved it! I have been reading every since. Now im an avid reader with a BLOG who would have thought.Im older but i love the YA they are easier for me to read and the sex content is a minimum.
Now im an advicate for illitacy.

Great giveaway! I'm not sure how to limit myself to a single favorite author! ;) I just loved Avi and Norma Johnston when I was younger, and now that I'm no longer a YA, I'm a big fan of Melissa Marr and Maggie Stiefvater.
I follow this blog and your twitter!
