YA Scavenger Hunt!

The YA Scavenger Hunt is over. Feel free to keep leaving comments, but no more giveaway entries will be accepted. Hope everyone had a crazy awesome good time. Thanks for playing and good luck!

The hunt is on! Get ready to check out some amazing bonus material, sneak peeks of upcoming titles (including Croak!) and other various sundries of deliciousness. Just TRY not to crap yourselves in delight, I DARE you. Read this festive salmon-colored box for instructions on how to enter, or skip it if you already know:

[Box redacted due to end of contest. Sorry, salmon fans.]

Now. Onto the fun times.

Tell me about someone awesome!

I have the honor of hosting Beth Revis, whose YA science fiction novel, Across the Universe, debuted from Razorbill/Penguin in January 2011. A former high-school English teacher, Beth can’t help but blog about writing, grammar, and publishing. She is the co-founder of the new popular dystopian blog, the League of Extraordinary Writers and blows off steam by trying to come up with something witty in 140 characters or less, lusting after books on GoodReads, or wasting time on Facebook. Her next book, A Million Suns, will be launched in January 2012, followed by the third book of the trilogy in 2013.

A Million Suns is only a month away? Oh my stars and garters, what is it about?

Godspeed was fueled by lies. Now it is ruled by chaos.

When Elder discovers shocking news about the ship, he and Amy race to discover the truth behind life on Godspeed. They must work together to unlock a puzzle that was set in motion hundreds of years earlier, unable to fight the romance that’s growing between them and the chaos that threatens to tear them apart.

It all builds to one mind-bending conclusion: They have to get off this ship.”

Buy a copy of Across the Universe on Amazon or head over to Beth’s website for links to more booksellers.

Hold on to your hats! Sweet, sweet hidden bonus material!

Click here to get to a hidden page on Beth’s website. Once you’re there, enter the password truthandlies to gain access to secrets about the trilogy!

But hold the phone! Another contest? SURELY YOU JEST!

Thanks for stopping by my little swimming hole, YA peeps. While you’re here, leave a comment with your email address and you’ll be entered to win a signed ARC of Croak and a scythe pendant. (MUST leave comment to be entered.) (EDIT: This contest has been going so well, I think I’ll throw in a second signed ARC and pendant to give away if we can get up to 200 entries. Tell your friends!) Extra entries if you follow this blog, like me on Facebook, follow on Twitter, or tell me who your favorite dead celebrity is. You know. Just curious.

  17. My instinctive answer was “Heath Ledger” but then I realized that no, famous dead singers are much more awesome. Call me weird for liking this “old” stuff, but Phil Ochs.
    Or some other old, famous guy. Maybe…the cast of Monty Python? Those dudes were funny.

    Anyway, just discovered you and your book. Croak looks like complete awesomesauce, that I will definitely be checking out. :)

    As for the dead celeb, I guess I choose Bob Marley, just because I like his hair.

    Croak looks good by the way, and your website’s amazing!

  34. I didn’t think anyone would pick my celebrity-Heath Ledger. Every time I watch 10 Things I Hate About You (one of my all-time fav movies) I cry for the life (and talent) that was cut way too short. One of my other celebrities (writer) is Dr. Seuss. Maybe a little weird but that’s me. Or C.S. Lewis. Ok I’ll stop now.

  35. please enter me. I followed you on twitter and facebook and the blog. My email is: mzzdiamonds@aol.com
    And my favorite dead celeb would be Elvis Presley. I would love to see the kind of music he would have kept on making.
    Thanks

  36. I don’t know if I can name a favorite dead celebrity. There were celebrity deaths that I shed some tears about when I heard they died, so I guess those count. So I will go with Shel Silverstein and Clarence Clemons.
