What is a giveaway hop? That's simple. Each participating blog hosts a giveaway and then we link up together allowing our followers to hop easily from one giveaway to another. For followers this means lots of chances to win free books and other goodies. For blogs hosting a giveaway it means lots of new visitors and followers. It's a win-win!
And now …
… curious about what you can win?

Once again I'm getting a bit more creative than simple giving away a book. Seeing how this Hop is dedicated to dreaming what could be more appropriate than a pillow on which you can rest your head while reading (or sleeping, for that matter). Long story short - I'm giving away your choice of any bookish Throw Pillow worth $ 20,00 from CafePress. These pillows measure 18'' x 18'' and are made of ultra-soft brushed twill with a sturdy canvas image area.
All you have to do is answer the following question and leave your e-mail address with your comment so I may contact you in case you're the winner.
The question:
What kind of books keep you up at night?

Winner
One winner will be picked through random.org on January 19th and will then be contacted by e-mail as well as announced here on my blog. The winner will have 48 hours to respond and if he/she fails to do so I will draw a new winner.
And now, head on over to the rest of the blog hop participants!
Long ones.
ReplyDelete. . .See that's meant to be a joke because if they were short I wouldn't need to stay up reading them. But honestly, I get lost in books really easily and have spent many a night when I SHOULD have been sleeping for various reasons, predominantly the need to get up early the next day, instead finishing a book. Though series in particular keep me up, because I usually get more involved in the characters lives.
Thanks for the giveaway!! Those pillows seem pretty awesome.

Your giveaways are so fun, Birgit! When I read your question, the first answer that popped into my head was SCARY ONES! Of course, I don't read too many scary ones, but if I do, I try not to read them when it's dark lol. But other books that keep me up at night are just the really good ones that I just can't put down for something so ordinary as SLEEP. :)

Family sagas - I never know what the next person is going to do - always its something totally surprising.
ReplyDeletemystica123athotmaildotcom
Long books, especially those with more than 500 pages, mostly with younger main characters and full of family history and drama :)
ReplyDeletethose page turners!
ReplyDeletethose which have something big happening at pretty much everypage,
or if I'm already finishing the book, might as well fit in a couple more pages

ReplyDeleteWell ,to answer your question, I don't have a particular genre, in fact, I might get scared reading thrillers at night,but any book which I find amazing may keep me up; the last one was The Orange Girl, by J. Gaarder. What an incredible love story!

I mostly read romatic/fantasy literature and every good book keeps me up at night :D I remember the nights I read in my bed crying like a child because of the story :D Actually..I don't read horror books, but if I did, I couldn't sleep weeks I'm sure haha..so it would definitely keep me up at night(s).
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway, the prize is amazing.

ReplyDeleteThe new books by my favourite authors keep me up at night, but also re-reading the Dark Jewels by Anne Bishop. Strange that it is usually on Sunday or Monday ... When I have to work the next day.

Lovely idea, Birgit. You always come up with the best giveaway gifts!
ReplyDeleteThe first book that came to mind when I read your question was "Pet Sematary" by Stephen King. I not only could not go to sleep, I also refused to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night it was that frightening!
rikki at rikkidonovan.com
If they're long with huge cliffhangers I usually can't stop myself :P Or if they're super scary or creepy, then I can't sleep.
ReplyDelete(Neat idea for a giveaway btw!)

I love your very creative giveaways! As for books, I usually stay up at night for my much anticipated fav sequels or if I really like a character!
ReplyDeletealiasgirl at libero dot it
Haha, I love how you stuck to the theme!
ReplyDeleteAll kinds of books! I'd much, much rather read than sleep. As long as they have a fast-paced plot and/or beautiful prose with interesting characters, I'm hooked. Most recently it was Stray by Rachel Vincent.

Contemporary YA novels!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway.

Honestly, I can never sleep after I finish a book. It doesn't matter what kind of book it is but I stay up thinking about what would be happening to the characters now.
ReplyDeletekalopez471 at gmail dot com
Most fiction books keep me up if the story is interesting enough as I can't wait to find out what will happen next. Definitely not my textbooks though, those really are my bedtime stories LOL

Thanks for this giveaway btw!
Wow, what a fabulous giveaway! I'll have to get me one of those pillows, for my friends too :)
ReplyDeleteTo answer your question. Definitely paranormal fantasy, ya novels... The last one keeping me up way toooooooo long was the Gathering by Kelley Armstrong, I really needed to know how it ended! I was mad I can't read the sequel for a while... No use to mention my workmates weren't happy with me the next day LOL
shera@gmx.at
This is an interesting question. I don't have a specific genre that keeps me up at night reading but I would say books where there are no dull patches keep me reading late.
ReplyDeleteAlso sometimes books that I don't like very much keep me reading because I want to finish them otherwise I spend hours thinking about them.
everythingtodowithbooks@gmail.com
For me the answer to that question is any book that I've been waiting for a long time to get. I remember when the last Harry Potter book came out, I bought it on the first day, read it all through the day and throughout the night. Literally, non stop I just loved it so much. I've done the same to the Mortal Instruments series too lol
ReplyDeletem-hussein at hotmail dot co dot uk
I would say books like the stand by stephen king, (I was working with the federal goverment on pandemic planning. I kid you not, a high up general, said he had a cover planned to call it anthrax. That one still keeps me up at night) The road by cormac maccarthy is another one that bothers me.
ReplyDeletetwoofakind12@yahoo.com
The kind of books that keep me up at night are the ones that I can't put down! The last two books that kept me up at night (reading them) were Cinder by Marissa Meyer and The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. Yes, they are fairly far apart, time-wise, but I love my sleep.
ReplyDeletepherlaithiel (at) gmail (dot) com
If a book is part of a series I absolutely love I will read nonstop even if it keeps me up all night. Mostly paranormal.

Well, anything that's scary will keep me from being able to sleep thanks to an overactive imagination -- hence the reason I tend to stay away from them!

Long books. I don't mind if's a series, but I like to have a real ending :) So those never-ending series (Anita Blake?) are not for me. I read romance, crime, ya, adult, mistery, sci-fi....basically anything as long the story and the writing is good :)

ReplyDeleteWhat kind of books keep me up at night?
Dystopian books with enough truth to them to make them plausible. Hunger Games, Life as We Knew It, etc.. These books feed my conspiracy theory obsession and freakish nature.

ReplyDeletemegnate at telus dot net
Horror. I used to hide under the covers until I read a story about a monster from underneath the bedspreads. Now I read the stories then spend the rest of the night cowering in one corner of the bed, bloodshot eyes fixed on the suspiciously lumpy sheets ...
ReplyDeleteTis a terrible thing ...

ReplyDeleteAll kinds keep me up into the wee hours. Love ones that keep you guessing the whole time and at the end of each chapter you think maybe i'll get enough with just one more chapter.
Long and and good ones. Especially if it's either Contmporary, Dystopia, or Fantasy. I also love mysteries that keep me up late at night by thinking about them. btw, those throw pillows are adorable!!

There are many different types of books that can keep me up at night, but these don't really follow any particular pattern. If it's a particularly good book, then I will have to fight with myself to go to sleep and not stay up all night reading. This has happened quite a lot recently. Particularly with Gail Carriger's Soulless and Michelle Hodkin's The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer.
ReplyDeleteHowever, there is one book that has given me nightmares. That is The Rapture by Liz Jensen! I was terrified by the ending of this book!
Thanks for the giveaway - this is the best one I've seen so far!

The easy answer is one that scares me but, actually what keeps me up at night is a book that I just can't put down until I finish it. I love the JD Robb In Death series and once I start one of those I will stay up all night to finish it.
