(You guys know what movie the blog title is from, right?)
STEADFAST is out in the wild, roaming free! The second book in the SPELLCASTER trilogy made its debut Tuesday — Mardi Gras — which meant I got to celebrate by wearing a glitter top hat. (I mean, I would probably have worn that anyway, but Mardi Gras allowed me to do so in public without anyone blinking twice.) So you only have until this Tuesday to get in on the contest fun —
We are at just under two weeks until STEADFAST hits bookstores.* That means it’s time for a blog tour, put together by the very awesome Jaime of Two Chicks on Books! Want to see the schedule?
It is now less than three weeks until STEADFAST makes its debut on March 4. (Unless you’re one of the lucky few who can come to the Feb. 21 Dark Days event here in New Orleans, where advance copies have been sighted in the wild.) If you have pre-ordered the book, are going to pre-order or plan to run out and get it that first week, you can be a winner. As in, you WILL be a winner, no matter what.
The winners of the last contest before we start the big countdown to STEADFAST are these lucky women: Yuliya, who gets INSOMNIA by J.R. Johannson; Tamara, who gets SEKRET by Lindsay Smith; and Becca, who gets PANIC by Lauren Oliver. Congrats one and all! More ARC contests will happen in the future, but not until after the big STEADFAST contest (starting tomorrow!) Right now, I want to talk about two upcoming appearances:
It’s five weeks until STEADFAST comes out! I’m so psyched about the prize package we’re putting together for that … but first, have to give away ALL THE ARCs, right?
First of all – guys, we’re at less than six weeks to STEADFAST! Sorry for the gushing, but I’m starting to get psyched. (And if you think these contests are good, just wait until we get a little closer to launch.) (Not that these aren’t good – as you will see.) Second, congrats to the winners of the last contest:
Congrats to the winner of THE IMPOSSIBLE KNIFE OF MEMORY by Laurie Halse Anderson, THE CLOCKWORK SCARAB by Colleen Gleason and SIX MONTHS LATER by Natalie D. Richards — way to go, Courtney W! But no sooner does one contest close than another begins …
If you haven’t gotten your hands on Laurie Halse Anderson’s latest, THE IMPOSSIBLE KNIFE OF MEMORY, I know you are dying to get it. Or what about SIX MONTHS LATER, the psychological thriller from Natalie D. Richards? And there is no such thing as too much steampunk YA, particularly when the heroines are Bram Stoker’s sister and Sherlock Holmes’ niece, so you’ll want to check out THE CLOCKWORK SCARAB, too. Well, now you can win all three —
This is, of course, a movie rated R. For those of you old enough to see it, or with parents and guardians who’d take you, or just really lazy ticket takers, know that there are spoilers ahead.
If you follow my Tumblr, or Twitter, you probably know by now that I have a serious weakness for Disney’s animated films, and so will not be surprised to learn that I went to see “Frozen” Saturday night. Perhaps you will also understand my deep need to talk about the movie in astonishing detail —
