Never Surrender Week! (With prizes and free stuff.)

Ahhhh! You guys, I have been waiting for this week for so long. Do you know what happens tomorrow? (And by tomorrow, I mean at midnight tonight?) Elana Johnson’s Surrender hits store shelves. I’m a big fan of Possession, and have been waiting a long time for Surrender.

*giggles*

Okay, actually, I’ve already read it. AND I. Love. It. Seriously, I love it even more than I loved Possession, because not only do we get to see more of Jag and Vi and Zenn, but we also get to know the hot-tough-guy-empath Gunner and tormented-gorgeous Raine.


Check out the trailer:



Okay, and now for the fun part. Because I’m so excited for the release of this book, I’m sort of going fan-girl-obsessed, which means this week I’ll be talking a lot about free will and strength and not surrendering. And I will be doing this to remind you of this really frawesome contest, wherein you can enter to win a BUNCH of Surrender inspired prizes, including some hard cover copies of Surrender, Possession, and Regret. No purchase necessary. All you have to do is enter below.

AND if you purchase a copy of Surrender between now and Saturday, we are offering free downloadable bookmarks. Simply email a copy of your receipt to surrenderbomb @ gmail . com.

Also be sure to check out the other blogs participating in Never Surrender week. Some are hosting additional giveaways that you won’t want to miss (and be sure to check back here on Wednesday for exclusive content).

Holy Fangirl, Batman!

I have this thing for meeting authors. It may actually be classified as an addiction. I don’t know. You decide. Anyway, my friend Elana and I crashed the Provo Library Teen Book Festival (in UT) last Saturday with the sole intention of meeting mega-author Scott Westerfeld.

I had him sign these:

 

And this:

And this:

I was quite proud of both myself and Elana for having conversed in a dignified manner, rather than going all gushy fangirl as he was signing our books. We also took a few minutes to chat with some other local authors, like Ally Condie and Lisa Mangum.

But, you say, this isn’t a problem. It was a local book festival, right? And, hello? Rockstar Mega author! Well, yes. This is true. But I attend signings a few times a month too. For instance, a couple weeks ago, I went to this book launch.

Before that, it was this one.

And in September, a lucky stroke of timing allowed me to be at the National Book Festival in Washington D.C., where I met…

Holy fangirl, Batman!

Suzanne Collins!!!

And yes, I did my best to be dignified there too. But you know. Couldn’t help but *squee* just a little bit.

She was not able to sign that day, but did have a stamp. I had her stamp this book. (Two copies--one is mine, the other??)

As you can see, I MIGHT possibly have some fab prizes to give away. And because the holidays are coming up, and because I’m so grateful to all my readers, I'm going to be doing some really awesomesauce giveaways in the near future. If you are a fangirl/boy reader who loves swag and autographed copies of bestselling books, stay tuned and keep following. You won’t be sorry.

Who is your favorite author and to what lengths would you go to meet him or her?
