The YAmazing Race is officially OVER. Grand prize winners will be posted over at the Apocalypsies blog tomorrow, January 24th, and winners of the CROAK ARC and scythe pendants will be announced right here, tomorrow as well. Thanks for participating and good luck!
Welcome to my stop on the YAmazing Race with MGnificent prizes, a blog hop featuring over 50 debut authors, and prize packs that include ARCs, gift certificates, swag, and more! If you haven’t yet been to the Apocalypsies website, please click here to start from the beginning and read the complete rules. Now on to the race!
CROAK by Gina Damico
Fed up with her wild behavior, sixteen-year-old Lex’s parents ship her off to upstate New York to live with her Uncle Mort for the summer, hoping that a few months of dirty farm work will whip her back into shape. But Uncle Mort’s true occupation is much dirtier than shoveling manure.
He’s a Grim Reaper. And he’s going to teach Lex the family business.
She quickly assimilates into the peculiar world of Croak, a town populated by reapers who deliver souls from this life to the next. But Lex can’t stop her desire for justice—or is it vengeance?—whenever she encounters a murder victim, craving to stop the attackers before they can strike again. Will she stay true to the rules of the Grimsphere, or ditch Croak and go rogue with her reaper skills?
Got all that?
Good, because you’ll need to store it all up in your brain for the quiz ahead! And remember, you must complete ALL FIVE quizzes to be eligible for a prize pack.
But hold the phone! Another giveaway? SWEET SASSY MOLASSY.
Simply leave a comment with your email address to be entered to win an ARC of CROAK! Or one of five scythe pendants! (open internationally) Bonus entries if you:
- like on Facebook (F)
- follow on Twitter (T)
- follow this blog (B)
- sign up for my newsletter (N)
***Put the code letter(s) in your comment indicating what you did – I trust you. :)
- and/or tell me in your comment who your favorite dead historical figure is. Back off from Abe Lincoln, though. He’s MINE.
And because this is the very first YAmazing Race ever and I’m feeling really jazzed about the whole thing and I’d like to get to know my local post office employees better, I will send a signed bookplate to EVERYONE who enters! Be sure to preorder your copy of CROAK today (Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Indiebound) to have something to stick it in!
Thanks for stopping by. Ready to move on?
Click HERE to go to the next stop on the race!

True story: when I wasn in eigth grade I had a sort of crush on Alexander Hamilton because the picture of him in my textbook was cute. In high school I met a girl who had a crush on him (but she doodled pictures of him in her sketch book, so she crushed on a different level then just admiring a picture), and I thought she was weird. Then I realized I was a hypocrite, because I used to think he was cute, too.

Okay when you say favorite Historical figure does that mean it has to be from a long time ago or it can be from about 20 years ago? If I can put someone from 20 years ago it has to be Kurt Cobain his music ruled most of my angsty teen years.

Hello Gina! :D I’ve followed you on twitter, and (one of) my fave historical figures would probably have to be Joan of Arc. She’s fierce and clever and determined, and mixed up and amazing, and anyways I wish her story ended differently.

Allllllright then! Did the following: F, T, B, and N :)
Favourite (dead) historical figure? Joan of Arc. Based on that one movie with that girl who was also in that creepy movie Glass House or whatever. I always thought it was kind of cool how she was burned at the stake for her belief. I was also kind of a weird kid and I guess it stuck.

My favourite dead historical figure is Ned Kelly, the most famous Australian bushranger. He was around in the 1800s and, despite being seen by a few as a cold-blooded cop killer, is a folk hero and symbol of Irish-Australian resistance against the Anglo-Australian ruling class.

My favorite dead historical figure? Well, I have to say the inventor of the Cupcake. Who was that? The world may never know *sighs*. Cupcakes were made as far back as the 12th century and the first printed cupcake recipe appeared in the 1700′s, but the inventor/creator/brilliant baker is unknown. So, to the Unknown and Unsung Cupcake hero, I say thanks for the yumminess ;)

You just had to take honest Abe didn’t you?
Anyways, I like Shakespeare. Especially the great mystery behind who he is and the plays he wrote.
This book sounds cool.
