Vampire Extravaganza Giveaway

Yep, after six years and who knows how many screenings of The Lost Boys, I finally seemed to have kicked my vampire habit.  For the most part.  Except for when it comes to Buffy and rereading Anne Rice.  OK, I admit I've still got a few more steps to take on the path to recovery-- but I'm getting there, I really am.  And you, my fabulous, much-appreciated followers have the opportunity to benefit: I'm giving away a few of my favorite vampire-themed books to one lucky follower.  Here are the books which are up for grabs:



The first four books in the Morganville Vampires series: 


The first two books in the Blue Bloods series: 


 
And lastly, but certainly not least-ly, Sunshine, Robin McKinley's vampiric classic:

All seven books have been lightly read, but are in pristine condition. This is an "informal" giveaway (so no white tie, please ;) but here's how it's going to work: 
-- Anyone with a US address can enter the giveaway to win (sorry, international followers, I love you but you must remember I'm a poor high school student!)-- just comment with your email address.  The last day to enter is Saturday, JUNE 18TH, which also happens to be my birthday. 

Extra Entries: 
+ 2 if you follow A Myriad of Books
+1 for telling me what your favorite vampire book, series, TV show, or whatever is
+ 2 for a quick tweet about the giveaway
+ 5 if you want to blog about the giveaway
and +1 for adding your entries up (even if you only have 1 entry-- Algebra II finals have my brain fried)

As always, I just want to thank you guys for supporting my blog!  DFTBA*-- though I know you already are!
*DFTBA= Don't forget to be awesome. Google "nerdfighters".

    I was burned out on vampire books for a while, too many bad/predictable one, but have recently gotten hooked again.

    Thanks for the awesome giveaway (love The Morganville Vampires series, even though I've only read the first two). :)

    +1 Well, some of my favorite vampire books are The Den of Shadows by Amelia Atwater Rhodes and Night World by L.J. Smith.

    Ooh, what an awesome giveaway! Thank you for the opportunity! I haven't read any of these books. :(

    I haven't read many vampire books, so I'll have to say Twilight.

    @Chey-- Ooh, our vampish tastes are uncannily similar! I love Buffy... love to watch reruns almost every day. And the Lost Boys is one of my favorite movies... it was one of my mom's favorites, too, back in the day, so very cool. Happy Early Birthday to you, too. :)

    Thanks for the giveaway! I'm not a huge fan of vampire books, finding the new ones to be mostly poorly-written and predictable, but I'd love to win the McKinley book and I enjoyed the Blue Bloods series.
