I’m trying to challenge myself to read longer books, and paranormal romance has also been a genre I’ve been trying to get into
since I’ve been hearing about this book (good and bad) for the better part of 4 months now, I’d really love to try it out =)

I haven’t really seen any bad reviews. The book is nothing short of awesome. I am a Southerner and I didn’t feel offended in any way by the book. Loved it glad you want to read it.

I won’t be greedy. I won’t join. I have a copy.
WHY am I still tempted??
Anyway, great giveaway! I haven’t actually seen a hardback copy yet ’round here (the UK). Goodluck to everyone! I re-tweeted it for you :)

why I want to read this book?
well, cause I think is awesome!!! >///<, whole book even the cover is great! love the genre and I read a little of story sounds beautiful, i like this fragment (is in spanish):
"Caída".
"Yo iba en caída libre, caía por el aire".
"¡Ethan!" Ella me llamó, y solamente el sonido de su voz hizo acelerar mi corazón.
"¡Ayúdame!" Ella también caía. Estiré mis brazos, tratando de agarrarla. Extendí la mano, pero todo lo que tomaba era el aire. No había tierra bajo mis pies, pero yo agarraba el fango. Nos tocamos con la yema del dedo y vi verdes chispas en la oscuridad.
Entonces ella resbaló entre mis dedos, y todo lo que yo podía sentir era pérdida.
Limones y romero. Yo aun podía olerla.
Pero yo no podía agarrarla.
Y yo no podía vivir sin ella. "
so that is for I want the book and to live another adventure like that, maybe my write english isn't right XD but I understand this, really I love books!

I trully enjoy and love books, i care about them and want them all, but it´s so hard to wait for even years to these amazing books get here to México, that it´s just sad how far we are from having bestselling at the moment they are in their maximum time….i get into this incredible giveaway cuz i really don´t think it´s any other way to ever have such a good book…i cross my fingers!!!

Hey! Nice giveaway…
Well, the reason why I want to read this book is that I’ve heard so many good reviews about it. I’m really into books about romance (not conventional romance), so I think this would fit perfectly.., also I have to say I’m Mexican, so… this book will reach libraries near my hometown until 2011 if I’m lucky…, I actually don’t want to wait that long… anyway, I hope I’m lucky enough…

I have previously read the book for a book club but I unfortunately do not own it. I would love to own this book to be able to read it over and over again since it is one of my favorite books I have read in a while. I love the fact that two amazing authors narrated a book from a male perspective (rare in YA!) so seamlessly and perfect, it would be a wonderful item for my bookshelf. Thanks for the consideration!

I have already had the pleasure of reading Beautiful Creatures, but I don’t own it, and I would LOVE to win it. The dog tag and bracelet look so cool, and I love that the book is signed in a purple pen, and stamped with Gatlin County Library. It’s made of awesomeness, THAT’s why I want to win! :)

I want to read it because I’ve heard so much good about it. It seems to be a really great book. I think my sister would like it too, so if I win I would share it with her. :)

A story being told from the male point-of-view has always been a favourite of mine. Perhaps being a lady makes me curious as how things look like through the eyes of the opposite gender, which in my opinion makes the whole story even more unpredictable and interesting. As a sucker towards thick novels itself, the size of this book is enough to make me drool!
Another reason why I need to get my hand on this particular book is due to the fact that it has been signed by the authors. It added more to the sentimental values of the book through the eyes of a book lover as myself. There is no way that I’d get a signed book in Malaysia, so if I win this, the book will definitely be “My Precious”!

I want to read Beautiful Creatures because the title is intriguingly poetic and the artwork is gorgeous. What can I say…I usually judge a book by its cover!

I’ve heard so much good stuff about this book and I’ve wanted to read it for such a long time but I just haven’t been able to get my hands on it. The cover is so pretty and eye catching that I can’t even say anything! The titles and synopsis is so interesting! It’s also from the male point of view and I’ve always loved books from the point of view because it gives me (others) a new feel to the story and characters and you get a new kind of story (book). I’ve also always loved a good romance story with some paranormal/urban fantasy mixed in but there should be a good balance with them and I’ve heard that this books does just that.

I actually read this book already, but it was the library’s. So I would love to have my own (signed) copy.

I’ve always wanted to read Beautiful Creatures! I’ve seen numerous reviewers complimenting this book and I’m absolutely intrigued! I would have bought this book online a long time ago if I have a credit card or paypal account. (sigh)

1) I lived in the South for a brief period of time.
2) Have a thing for plantations ~ think Scarlett of Tara in Gone with the Wind.
3) Love all and every thing to do w/ the occult, supernatural, other-wordly beings places, events etc.
4) There’s music tossed in! ipod reference, how cool is that!
5) Anything signed is always worth treasuring.
6) Addie is a “Beautiful Creature!”.
So ~ the south, plantations, the supernatural/occult, current trends, AND a love story ~ how can you lose?
