Last night I was thinking about my birthday (which I think is seriously the greatest day of the entire year) and I counted the weeks until the big day, and got really excited. Which led me to think about how I gave away a sweet camera last year, in honor of my 23rd birthday. Which then led me to think, "Man...I gotta give away something cooler this year." And that's when I came up with this:
A KINDLE! Ted and I love sharing a Kindle. Though we love owning actual books, having an e-reader can be so handy...plus, they are so dang cool! If you want to read more about the Kindle, you can click here.
To enter, all you have to do is, be a follower of this blog, and comment letting me know what book you would read first if you won this Kindle!
You have until next Tuesday to enter! Yay! If you tweet about the giveaway, you can have an extra entry. The end, amen.

no way! I still haven't read the sequel to Matched so that would probably be next, pretty sure it's called Crossed.
Such a nice giveaway!
i would probably read the clockwork prince! been dying to get my hands on it :)
I would probably read the Hunger Games Trilogy on it. Got to be ready for the movie!
The first book would read on my new Kindle... Bossypants by Tina Fey! Happy upcoming Birthday!
IS THIS FOR REAL?! I would love to read The Paris Wife :)
I'm a follower! I would read The Girl Withthe Dragon Tattoo or The Lucky One

OMG that is awesome!!! The Hunger Games would probabyl be the first book(s) I would read. I keep telling myself I'll go this weekend to buy the books but I never end up going!!! I need to before the movie comes out!!!
I would read the sixth book in the Prettile Little Liars series!! Woo!! :)
Hmmm...such a hard question! I'm on a non-fiction kick lately, so probably Thinking, Fast and Slow.
Pretty*
I'd buy John Green's new book. So then I'd have a hardback AND an ebook.
I also tweeted about it!!

@erykaann
I follow you, because I like where you go. Also, I would read something that in print is ridiculously heavy that I wouldn't have otherwise wanted to drag around with me (since it would be light on a kindle)... like War and Peace or a reread of Gone with the Wind or Mists of Avalon...
Happy early birthday my dear!!
Since you've been talking up the Hunger Games, and I have yet to read that series, I'd read the first book in that series!! :) :)
I would read Mindy Kaling's book, 'Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?' or Chris Cleave's book 'Incendiary'.
I am a follower of your blog. What an awesome giveaway and happy almost birthday. If I win I want to read
Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns) by Mindy Kaling. I hear it is really good.
AHHHH! I follow you! And I would read the Hunger Games again!!! I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE MOVIE!!!
i would finally finish les miserables! my book is all ripped up from sun damage so this would be great!
I follow you! and I would read the help! I have been meaning to read it ASAP.
First book woud be The Hunger Games
I tweeted. @vintagewannabee
City of Fallen Angels maybe? I don't know!
Crossed! I read Matched and really enjoyed it. Crossing my fingers!
This is so awesome!! Happy birthday in advance. ^_^
I would read the books you prescribed for Post Peeta Disorder, DUH! ;) ;)
Love your blog.
ACK!! I have been so close to shelling out the money to buy one of these lately!! I would want to re-read Catching Fire, but lets be honest... I'd probably end up reading a textbook on that sucker first.
Fingers crossed! :)
Most definitely the first book to read on the Kindle would be The Hunger Games, even though it would be the umpteenth time I've read it.
I'd finish reading the HG series!!
mmMmmMmmmm not sure what I would start with-- but I would definitely want to finish the gril with the dragon tattoo series- I couldn't get into the last one for the life of me. And then I stopped trying because I only had it in hardcover and it was so damn heavy to carry around! haha
Seriously?! This is awesome. Well, after your review of books yesterday, I'd have to read "Matched." But it would be a tight race between that or re-reading Hunger Games.
I would love a Kindle... If I could keep it away from my husband I would probably read Crossed or The Help, both at the top of my list!!!
I just finished Delirium and died...so I'm just waiting to get the next one in the trilogy - Pandemonium! What an amazing giveaway!
I just finished Matched so I would read Crossed! Hope I win ;)
So amazing! I have been wanting a kindle so badly. I'm a follower and I would read the Hunger games right that very instant I got it because I've heard so many great things and the movies come out soon!!! thanks for offering something so great!
If I won a Kindle I'd read the hunger games. So many people talk about it, I want to read them too!
Hey Lauren !! I just officially followed your blog though I have been keeping up with you and your blog for the longest :) My birthday in this Sunday on January 15 and I would LOVEEE the kindle as I have been dying for since ever lol. I would definitely would read the hunger games as my first book on it as I haven't purchased the book because I really wanted to wait till I got a kindle somehow. Anyhow have a great Tuesday!!!
This would be perfect to bring books with me to Thailand! I would read The Woman in Black because the movie is coming out and I need to read it first! Plus I need to re-read Hunger Games before the movie!!
I follow your blog. The first book I would read would probably be "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo". I want to see the movie, but I would like to read the book first because the books are ALWAYS better than the movie! :) Thanks for the giveaway!
I follow! If I got that kindle the first book I would read would be The Litigators...John Grisham. I love his books :)
I'm a follower, and I think I might read Matched first as I've heard good things about it!
Are you joking?! I would probably read Dracula by Bram Stoker first. Been meaning to do that for ages.
I would probably find an old, thick classic that would make cuddling with a cup of tea easier. :)
So wonderful! I would definitely read Crossed -- it's not available in hardcover on Amazon right now.
And I tweeted about this! @karissajoelle
I will prob get some of my books for school on the kindle...they're soooo much cheaper!
Oh yay!!!! Welp, since I finished Catching Fire last night, I guess I should probably read Mockingjay!
I would read Mockingjay. Obsessed with Hunger Games!
Woot!! I would read...... Anne of Green Gables. Totes dorky of me, but I don't care :)
Hunger Games! Still haven't crossed that one off the list yet.
A kindle giveaway?! Oh yes please!
I think the first book I would read on the kindle would be... The Help. I've heard so much about it, seems like a fun reason to get lost in someone else's story. :-)
this is amazing! thanks bday girl. I would read the Help, I refuse to watch the movie until I read the book!
I would read 'Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?' by Mindy Kaling :)
Wow! Cool giveaway! I would LOVE a kindle! I think I would read the Hunger Games series first just to get ready for the movies. Or I would read a classic like Pride and Prejudice or Little Women. hmmm... so many options!
I would read the 3rd book in the Hunger Games trilogy! :)
The next Pretty Little Liars book! I hate hardcovers!!! I am a follower of your blog :) xo
I am a follower & I would read The Happiness Project.
super awesome! I'd probs finally get my hands on Hunger Games. And try to catch up with the world by reading Time Travelers Wife.
Wow amazing giveaway! I'd read the second book to the hunger games set! I got the first one for Xmas. And I'm a follower of this blog!
HmmmI would read anything that does not include Disney Princesses. I read to the kid all the time but never read for me anymore! Sad :(
Amazing!
I would probably read "Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?" by Mindy Kaling..so it would be so totally awesome if I won this!
Follower! I would loooooove a kindle! I would read Matched because you are always talking about it and I haven't had a chance to read it! Oh man, really crossing my fingers!

This is an awesome giveaway! I would read The Help or Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? if I won it.

Eeeeeeeeeek. What a great giveaway. No doubt I would read The Hunger Games first.
Yay! Happy early Birthday, Lauren! I would probably read Perks of being a Wallflower. I have been meaning to read that one for a few years now... :)
If I won, I would read the Hunger Games! I've been wanting to read it and I want to read them all before the first movie comes out! :)
After your suggestion, I'd have to say Clockwork Angel!
I would probably re-read Harry Potter. It's been 2 years since I last re-read them, so it's time.
and I tweeted @sillysock... oh and happy birthday!
I think I would read The Help , I haven't been into books for awhile but now my daughter is old enough that I can get ONE second of peace , so I have to see what out there !! belensmama at gmail dot com (blog follower)

AHHHHMAZING GIVEAWAY!! I am a follower and I'd read the Hunger Games..
If I won the kindle I would have to say the first book I would read would be The Last of the Mohicans.
or some really awesome History Book.
I already own a Kindle but I would actually really love to win this!for my dad. I know that he would love it! I'm sure he would love reading the Bible on it and several other books.
I would love a kindle! I would promptly read the Infernal Devices books! I've been meaning to since you've been raving about them. Perfect opportunity!
I read (and frigging LOVED) The Hunger Games last summer upon your amazing recommendation so I guess the first book I'd read on the kindle would be another of your great recommendations-maybe Divergent or A Clockwork Angel!:)
P.S. Happy early birthday!:D
Leah
I would be anxious to get books by my favorite authors the day they come out and not have to wait for them to go to paperback to not be so spendy (though usually I cant wait long enough for paperback, so really it would be saving me a lot of moola on the fact I have no patience!) My favorite author is Jennifer Weiner
I now follow your blog. I'd love to read Girl With The Dragon Tattoo on the Kindle I hope to win from you :-). Happy Birthday!!
Oh neat! I've never dreamed of owning a Kindle myself, just because I don't think I'd ever have the extra cash laying around to get one.
But if I got this Kindle, I would, with 100% assurance, begin The Hunger Games over again so I can do one more read-through before the movie comes out! Yay!
Happy birthday! Birthdays ARE the best day of the year!
I'd read all the Harry Potter books. I have them on paper but the Kindle experience would be even more magic! :D
i neeeed to read the huger games!
Mockingjay...forrr sureee
if I won this, I would finish reading Mockingjay on it, then I would probably start a few Nicholas Sparks novels! <3
I tweeted about this!
What an awesome giveaway! I've been really wanting to read the Hunger Games. This is the perfect excuse for some me-time reading! suspyle@hotmail.com
Wow I would feel special if I won. I broke my leg before Christmas and have a lot of reading to do!!! I would read historical fiction "A voice in the wind". I love dystopian books like you do but I am trying to read more genres this year. qtmystique@yahoo.com
I think I would read The Help!! What a great giveaway! X
You're kidding right!? I have been wanting a kindle soooooo bad lately! I follow you and I'm reading Mockingjay right now so I'd finish it on there!

peter pan all the way. whats better than being snuggled in your blanket cocoon while reading peter pan? i submit, nothing.
i'd love one of these. i'd probably read Matched, I couldn't really get into it the first time but my mom keeps telling me to try it again. that or the second book in the Divergent series, when it comes out in...May? I think it's May
I would read What is the What about the Lost Boys of Sudan, it's on my list to read soon. Happy Birthday!
I really want to read the Mortal Instrument Series. Since reading your post below I've really wanted to read them so I can read Clockwork Angel!
What a great giveaway! I would read The Glass Castle by Jeanette Walls.
Hunger games...for the zillionth time.
Great idea!
The Princess Bride for sure. Classics are always good!
I would read Little Women. It is my favorite book, I've read it a million times, but I'd like to start reading it to my daughter.
I think I would have to start with A Princess of Mars. My husband has read all the the John Carter books and now that the movie is going to be out soon he wants me to join in.
Wow girl...you are too generous!
I would read The Hunger Games! Yes, yes..I'm a huuuuuuge slacker!
I'd love to read Mindy Kaling's book!!
What a radtastic idea!! I wanted an e-reader so bad when I worked at Borders but just couldn't swing it. If I won this one I'd love to read 'The Help' first. Happy birthday friend!! Xo.
What a radtastic idea!! I wanted an e-reader so bad when I worked at Borders but just couldn't swing it. If I won this one I'd love to read 'The Help' first. Happy birthday friend!! Xo.
Gah, I'd have to say Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace!
i still have not read the notebook. its been on my list for years! maybe this would give me the push i need!
rwvanvoorhis at gmaild to com
i STILL have not read gone with the wind (gasp!) for a reader of all things romantic, this is practically absurd. i'd looooove a kindle. i'd also love to have your determination to not eat sugar, but that's a whole different story.
i LOVE my kindle fire, it is amazing!
Divergent would be the first book I read on the kindle if I got it. it's next on my list of books anyway and I can't wait!
I am a follower :) I would probably read Divergent first because I have had that darn book on hold at the library for a billion years and I am STILL tenth in line haha.
Thats pretty generous of you! I am dying to start Matched!
Wow, awesome giveaway! Since I buy most of my books at the thrift store, I am always late on reading what is on the NY Time Best Sellers list. So definitely something from released in the past year! :-)
Happy birthday!
I also tweeted about it!
And also, tweet tweet! https://twitter.com/#!/TrinaJilian/status/156791881559310336
A Tale of Two Cities. Always and forever.
I think I would read Cassandra Clare's "Clockwork Angel" first. Still haven't read it!
I would read the Hunger Games trilogy! I've been meaning to buy them but I want to buy them on kindle :) Happy early birthday!!!
I would definitely give the Kindle to my Amazingly (swoon) sweet husband for his 30th birthday! He loves to read and I know he'd never buy himself one!
I bet he would read Pride and Prejudice first - classic!
tweeted about it too!! :D
AWE-to the -SOME! What a cool idea, Lauren! If I won, I would first read Crossed. I read Matched (and Divegent) after you blogged about them and LOVED them both. I am hoping I'll feel about Crossed the way you do, despite what the yucky critics say. HAPPY EARLY BIRTHDAY! :)
follower! I'd read bossypants :)
thanks for the opportunity! Meredith dot Targarona at Gmail dot com
I am a follower of this blog AND the first book I'd read is
"The Geography of Bliss."
HOW EXCITING!! I would love to read either The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand or To Kill a Mockingbird!!
First book... probably The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest, since I'm almost done with the second book. Yay! I can't believe your birthday's coming up again!
I'd read mindy kaling's new book!
Unfortunately, the first book I would probably read on a brand spankin' new Kindle would be some sort of textbook or school-required reading.
But that's okay, because it's a KINDLE!
Ohhh I don't know! I still need to finish Mockingjay.. and then The Help..and then and then...! :)
are you for for real? this would make my life!
The Hunger Games! Of course :)
This is a pretty awesome giveaway! I would probably read Pride and Prejudice, just because it is my favorite book and I would want to break it in with one of the best love stories of all time!
you always have the best giveaways!!
i really want to read the Hunger Games! i know i'm totally behind. and you have convinced me so much that i need to catch up! so that is the first thing i'd do with the kindle :)
Neverwhere by Neil Gaimon
He is so awesome, and I've only read two of his books, and I just heard of this one. I think I'm your follower. I'll make sure.
HUNGER GAMES :D
I would read HUNGER GAMES! just for you ;)
I really want to read Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity
Ahh! One of my professors just added a kindle to our booklist, he is crazy! But I would probably read Betty Whites book, my mom just read it and said it's a hoot! Along with reading about european history for my class...woo hoo! #nerdalert
Right now I'm in the middle of reading Pretties so probably Specials because I'm pretty sure that's the next one.
Oh, there are too many to choose from! Could I read Matched, Anne of Green Gables, A Walk to Remember, the Harry Potter Series or Hunger Games all at once?
Happy Early Birthday!
Whoa, fancy! I would probably read the Matched books that you have been talking about :)
i would reread hunger games in honor of the movie coming out soon :)
lets see...if i won the kindle i would probably read the hunger games first cause im re-reading them to prepare for the movie!
Wow, this is a very generous giveaway! I would read Paranormality: Why we see what isn't there. I'm trying to read more nonfiction this year.
I would read Mansfield Park, because I have been meaning to read it for a really long time!
I tweeted so the 3 people who follow me can check out your blog too. @greatlakesgirlj
Whoa!!! Happy Birthday!!
EXTREMELY LOUD AND INCREDIBLY CLOSE, by Jonathan Safran Foer
I like to read books before seeing the movie.
Thanks!!!
i'd probably read the harry potter series all over again :)
I think that if I won this I would read the Hunger Games. No this is not a sad pathetic attempt to make you want to give me this, but I have been avoiding that book for the longest time because I was araid that it would become like Twilight. I think it is about time I join the band wagon...
Woah, awesome giveaway Lauren! If I were so incredibly lucky as to win, I would have to read one of the books you have mentioned loving recently like Matched or Divergent. Have a happy birthday!
Rosie xx
I would definitely read the Hunger Games Series first. How could I not do so. Since you are talking about it all the time, I just have to get it but I restricted myself from buying new books as I have so many un-read ones on my bookshelf. But getting a new book on the Kindle would be a different story, right?
=)
I'm a follower and OH MY GOSH i would love a kindle! right now, it's like what book WOULDN'T I read first?! But seriously, I'd probably reread the Hunger Games.
Going along with a lot of the comments, I would re-read The Hunger Games Trilogy to prepare for the movie. But they are so good! and a girl's gotta prepare right?!
-Kelli
Here I have been thinking I have been following you for years and when I double checked... nope, just reading. So now it's official!
I think I would probably read Crossed first, since I haven't done that yet. :) Yay!
I would LOVE to win a Kindle!!! I think the first book I would read would have to be the 2nd book in the series by Beth Revis. Loved the first book! Tweeting about your giveaway as well (Christy1225) ;)
ah how cool! You know im a follower!! I would definitely read the hunger games first!
yay! i would read divergent if i won (i'll read it anyway if i don't but it would be cooler on a kindle!)
i tweeted about it! :)
I've been itching to get my hands on a copy of "Hunger Games." I've heard great things about that one! :-)
xo,
Margaret

margeincharge(at)gmail(dot)com
I would re-read Jane Eyre again for the millionth time! I read it at least once a year and as it's a new year it's time! :)
Clockwork Prince, please!!!
Definitely the 2nd of the Hunger Games trilogy...just finished the 1st!
Lauren, are you kidding me?? This is amazing.
The first book I'd read on the Kindle would be The Bell Jar. Such a wonderful, sad book.
I tweeted too :) @GirlOnAJourney
I think my first Kindle book would be something classic and wonderful like Les Miserables. I've heard its better in French, but I love the storyline via the Play and movie, so I'm sure the English would be just as good.
I would read Clockwork Angel! That is after I finish Divergent. What would I do without you and your wonderful book recommendations?
obviously i would read clockwork angel...i haven't ordered it yet! i bid on it on ebay (because i'm THAT frugal) but was outbid and now i'm on a mission to find it for really, really cheap.
Tweeted!

Dude. Your birthday IS the best day of the year! I would definitely choose to read the Hunger Games series, since you love it so much!
-amy k

If I won a lovely Kindle I would read Pride and Prejudice first. Or maybe the Hunger Games.
I would read Crossed.
such a nice giveaway lauren! i think i would read the hunger games again...i want to read it before the movie comes out.
I would read all of the books in your recent post about what to read to recover from my Peeta withdrawals. I mean, I already read Matched, but the rest sound like books that I need to read ASAP. And I'm preeeettttyyyyy sure I would love them even more if they were read on a new Kindle!
Ahhh too many books. I love my Harry Potter though.... and it would be a whole new experience on this! Pllllllleeeeease pick me :) Happy B-day
Tweeted it! via username debbiej0
I would buy the Hunger Games books. I know I am always s far behind everyone else! I can't wait to read them.
holy guacamole. you are amazing for giving this away. i would read so many books-- including mindy kaling's new book and the rest of the voice of wind series. :)
I would like to say that I would read the Hunger Games again....but...I think I would read Clockwork Angel, since I've been waiting to read it for, like, 2 years now :-)
Oh my goodness gracious! I've been wanting one of these to read on the lightrail while i commute to Downtown asu:)I'd probably read a bunch of classics like Jane eyre, Mansfield Park, or Pride and Prejudice. Rochester, Edmund, and Mr. Darcy are my book boyfriends! They are just swell:)
What an amazing and generous giveaway!!! Gotta love birthdays :) I would definitely read The Night Circus! Happy Early Birthday!
Since I bought The Clockwork Angel on paperback, I would probably use it to read The Clockwork Prince!
im a follower! I would read "The Help" as my first book!
What a great giveaway!! Kindles are so cool! I think I'd read the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo :) I want to see the movie, but I really want to read the books first!
cam22190 at gmail
i'd buy Uglies. i'm borrowing it from someone right now and i know that this is one i'd read over again.
I'm a follower and I would love to start of my kindle adventure with Jenny Han books. Like the summer I turned pretty its a little trilogy and its mostly for teens, but I really like those books so any new one from her would be a great start!
Mockingjay has been sitting on my nightstand for days now but I have been too busy to read it and I can't lug it to school with all my textbooks :(
I would read John Green's new book first - I love this work! I tweeted about the giveaway as well (https://twitter.com/#!/6ftinheels/status/156820897003618304)
Thanks for being so generous and happy birthday!
I'm a follower!
And I'd read Rebecca by Daphne DuMaurier. I've read it before, but I love it :)
Crossing my fingers!
Ohhh, i've been eyeing one forever!
I'd probably read "Life Itself" first, the memoir by Roger Ebert!
wow holy smokes a kindle. you're cool. i would probably read one of the books you recommended a coupld of posts ago. maybe matched, or that err...orange one. :)
Oh goodness... hard question!
But I think that the very first book I would read is The Help.
I would download all the Narnia books and let my daughter get a jump start on her imagination! Love this giveaway, thank you!
I follow via GFC and Bloglovin! :)
what an AWESOME giveaway! I would read "The Help." It's been on my list for far too long.. I feel like a Kindle might motivate me to get reading! :)
--Shelby
I would start off by reading The Help.
I'm a follower and the first book I'd read would be Delirium, the one you suggested! :)
