Birthday Bash for Abbi Glines & Giveaway!

My Abbi Glines Experience... So far!

I remember my first Abbi Glines experience like it was yesterday! I remember reading my first book by her, I remember falling in love with her books and I remember watching her fan base grow!

The first book I ever read by Abbi Glines was Breathe in May 2011 when it was first released! I remember falling in love with Jax and Sadie and Abbi's writing! I looked Abbi up after I had read Breathe to find out more about her and to see what other books she had! She didn't have any other books out at that time but I always kept a close eye on her release dates and what other books she had coming out!

The Existence Trilogy was the first full series by Abbi Glines that I have read! I remember reading Existence when it first came out in December 2011! I didn't make the connection that the author of Breathe was the author of the Existence until months later! After reading Existence I was thoroughly looking forward to the rest of the series and also to see what other books Abbi had up her sleeve!

I remember when The Vincent Boys was released as well! I didn't actually read The Vincent Boys until December 2012 though! I was in love with The Sea Breeze series and I didn't want another series to take it's place so I sort of held back with The Vincent Boys for a while! Since I hevr read it though I haven't looked back! I loved the situations in the book and I fell in love with it as well!

The Sea Breeze series just got better and better with every book! I read them in a different order to when they were released! I read Breathe, While It Lasts, Because of Low and then Just for Now! I actually didn't catch on that While It Lasts was actually in the same series as Breathe until about a week after I had read it! It turns out that Abbi was firing books out like a machine compared to when she first started and I had sort of fallen behind! I soon caught up with my favourite series though and it still continues to blow my mind!

The Too Far series was one that I was looking forward to reading since Abbi first announced it! I fell in love with Fallen Too Far! So did a lot of other people! When I found out that Never Too Far was coming out only months after Fallen Too Far's release I was ecstatic! I hate waiting like a year for a sequel so to wait only months was amazing! I didn't love Never Too Far as much as Fallen Too Far but it was still amazing! I also got an ARC of Twisted Perfection which releases on the 22nd April! One word: HOT!

Abbi's fan base is now huge compared to when I first discovered her! I am so happy that other people are discovering her and her amazing talent! She is one hell of a writer and she really does deserve every fan out there! She does book signings, live video chats, she responds to every message on Facebook! She truly is amazing! I can definitely say that I have been and I will continue being a fan of Abbi Glines!

Happy Birthday Abbi!

Author bio:

Abbi Glines was born in Birmingham, Alabama. She grew up in the small town of Sumiton, Alabama where she left the summer she turned eighteen. She didn’t get far… she chased her high school sweetheart down to the coast and she’s been there ever since.

Abbi now lives in the quaint southern town of Fairhope, Alabama with her three children and husband Keith (the high school sweetheart she chased after). Her life is never dull and Keith always makes sure there is another “experience” for them to explore.

Books published by Abbi include The Vincent Boys and the USA TODAY bestseller The Vincent Brothers, Breathe, Because of Low, the USA TODAY bestsellers While It Lasts and Just For Now, The Existence Trilogy that includes the USA Today Bestseller Ceaseless, and The New York Times bestseller and Wall Street Journal bestseller Fallen Too Far and Never Too Far.

When Abbi isn’t locked away in her office typing away she is hauling her kids to and from their many social activities. You could say her second job is the Glines Kids personal chauffeur. It’s a rather illustrious job.
