I just hit the big 800 on Twitter–however transient it may be–so it’s time to celebrate. And the best way to celebrate? Giving away stuff!
Here’s the deal:
Tweet your fave book ever (not the book you want to win, we’ll work that out later!) @PetaAndersen by Friday at Midnight EST to go into a random draw to win a YA or MG novel off my shelves. Two books are on offer–choices are listed below. You can get an extra entry by:
- Re-tweeting this giveaway
- Blogging about this giveaway
- Sharing/liking it on facebook (scroll to the bottom for the “like” button)
- Becoming a fan of *ILBNH* on facebook (there’s a widget in the sidebar!)
- Leaving a comment below with one line about your favorite book
Folks, please post links to your blog post &c., or comment on how you shared to help me keep track of who’s done what. Thanks!
Tip: Make sure you’re following me so I can DM you details if you win. People not on Twitter can still enter by doing any one of the above (I <3 hearing why folks love the books they do, so 4. is a good way to go!), and leaving their email addy (e.g. janeisawesome[at]gmail.com) in the comments below.
Winners will be announced sometime on Monday or Tuesday, depending on how many extra entries I get.
Here are the 5 novels on offer, a mix of old and new:
- Luka and the Gods of Fire, Salman Rushdie
- The Incorrigbles, Book 1, The Mysterious Howling, Mary Rose Wood (I! loved! this! book!) If you’ve read Mysterious Howling, though, I love this book so much I’ll ship you a copy of book 2 as soon as it hits shelves, sometime this week of next week.
- In honor of Brian Jacques, a Redwall novel of your choice
- Queen of Babble, Meg Cabot–this isn’t YA but rather New Adult, aka YA flavor with slightly more adult content
- The Spiderwick Chronicles, Holly Black
And that’s all for now! I’ll be back, later again (yes, that’s 3 posts in one day! Almost a record for me!) with a post on award shortlists. Remember–tweet your fave book ever @PetaAndersen (aka me) to enter!
Update, 2:23 pm:edited to clarify details
When I closed the cover on Sharon Creech’s Walk Two Moons I
1) cried for half an hour
2) realized that this is what I want to do for the rest of my life
(not cry, but write YA/children’s books)
