Armchair BEA: Giveaways Everywhere

Armchair BEA is an yearly event that allows bloggers to participate in BEA from home. 
Today's Topic:
Giveaways Everywhere! And My Top Eight Favorite Releases of 2012 So Far!
8
Unholy Night
Unholy Night by Seth Grahame-Smith
Grahame-Smith returns to the "mutant" book playing field with a vengeance! The wise men as thieves and murderers? Heck yeah!
7
The Selection (The Selection, #1)
The Selection by Kiera Cass
Though some may call this a "fluffier" dystopian, it was a fun, romantic read.
6
Hemlock (Hemlock, #1)
Hemlock by Kathleen Peacock
I'm not a huge werewolf fan, but this book was made of awesome!
5
Fever (The Chemical Garden, #2)
Fever by Lauren Destefano
This is one of the bleakest dystopian worlds around, and hands-down one of the best! Destefano is a gem!
4
Struck
Struck by Jennifer Bosworth
Bosworth created a protagonist that will be in my mind forever. Mia Price a "lighting addict" had a great voice. Hard to believe this was Jennifer Bosworth's debut!
3
A Touch Morbid (A Touch Trilogy, #2)
A Touch Morbid by Leah Clifford
Dark, thrilling, and sometimes hilarious, this is one of my favorite paranormal series!
2
Destined (Wings, #4)
Destined by Aprilynne Pike
A great finish to this series, Destined felt exactly how a final book should feel.
1
Insurgent (Divergent, #2)
Insurgent by Veronica Roth
Veronica Roth returns with a vengeance. This book has it all!

    My favorite 2012 read so far is, hands down, The Night Circus. It seduced me from the beginning and never let me out of its embrace. Such a gorgeous book. I might need to read it every month.

    Thanks for the giveaway, and Happy Armchair BEA!

    Hmm, I'd have to say that both Dead Reckoning by Ronie Kendig and Words Spoken True by Ann Gabhart have been my favorite reads this year!
