Absintheandbooks Summer Giveaway!

Here’s the dealio~ This giveaway is basically an excuse to give out free books and to promote my insta and gaming blog. You do need to be over 18 or have permission of your guardian, and must be comfortable giving me your address so I can send you your prize! I promise to keep your information confidential. Entries are going to work a little different this time:

You can reblog as many times as you want, HOWEVER it will only count for 1 entry if you’re following absintheandbooks.

If you follow absintheandgames, it’s + 5 entries

If you follow my insta (nixas13) it’s + 10 entries

This means that theoretically you can get up to 16 entries, but no more than that. If you follow me on insta for this, please please make sure you pm me or comment on one of my posts with your username so I can be sure to enter you into the drawing. Winners are randomly selected using a random choice selection thingy.

So what can you win?

There will be three winners!

First place will get their choice of 2 books.

Second place will get their choice of 1 book.

Third place will get some sort of bookish goodie.

This is an international giveaway!

What does God want? Does God want goodness or the choice of goodness? Is a man who chooses the bad perhaps in some way better than the man who has the good imposed upon him?

If all else perished, and he remained, I should still continue to be; and all else remained, and he were annihilated, the universe would turn to a mighty stranger; I should not seem a part of it.

It is likely I will die next to a pile of things I was meaning to read.

Everyone has at least one character who’s death you ignore and pretend it never happened.

“I don’t want to be a man,“ said Jace. "I want to be an angst-ridden teenager who can’t confront his own inner demons and takes it out verbally on other people instead.” “Well,” said Luke, “you’re doing a fantastic job.”  ― Cassandra Clare, City of Ashes

Tessa craned her head back to look at Will. “You know that feeling,” she said, “when you are reading a book, and you know that it is going to be a tragedy; you can feel the cold and darkness coming, see the net drawing tight around the characters who live and breathe on the pages. But you are tied to the story as if being dragged behind a carriage and you cannot let go or turn the course aside.” His blue eyes were dark with understanding — of course Will would understand — and she hurried on. “I feel now as if the same is happening, only not to characters on a page but to my own beloved friends and companions. I do not want to sit by while tragedy comes for us. I would turn it aside, only I struggle to discover how that might be done.” “You fear for Jem,” Will said. “Yes,” she said. “And I fear for you, too.” “No,” Will said, hoarsely. “Don’t waste that on me, Tess.”  ― Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Princess
