We got tons of entries for our latest contest, and I'm pleased to announce that Kristina D. is the lucky winner of the YA Science Fiction ARC Bundle. Congratulations, Kristina--be sure to let us know what you think of your books!
As for the runner-up prize of Julie Cross' Tempest, the winner is Kalen O'Donnell for his choice of Roger Zelazny's Lord of Light. He says, "its about in the future, humanity colonizes a distant planet, and the crew of the ship that brought them hoarded the technology and set themselves up as gods, modeled after the Hindu pantheon, and use this technology to reincarnate over and over again. It's kinda complicated at times, but so brilliant."
Now how could I possibly resist that? It sounds like an awesome book. Sold, Kalen...sold.
Stay tuned for an awesome giveaway next month, too. It's our one-year blogoversary, so we'll definitely be celebrating with some really fun prizes! And yes, it WILL be an international contest. :)
Poll: ARC Tours
I have a few ARCs that I've been thinking about touring in the U.S., so I figured it'd be good to do an informal poll to find out which titles you'd be most interested in. ARC tours are a great way to share upcoming releases, so if you're a fellow blogger or are very active on GoodReads, let us know in the comments which of these books you'd want to read as part of a tour. The links below will take you to GoodReads, where you can read synopses of each title.
I Hunt Killers, Release Date: April 3, 2012
The Night She Disappeared, Release Date: April 10, 2012
Monument 14, Release Date: June 5, 2012
The Forsaken, Release Date: July 10, 2012
These are some hotly anticipated titles, so we look forward to hearing which ones you all would be interested in seeing be part of the tour in the comments. Funnily enough, my ARC for The Forsaken already has a cover but I don't see it online anywhere yet, so you'll just have to wait and be surprised.

I vote for The Forsaken. Looks so good--and I'm curious about the cover.
ReplyDeleteI guess I could have snapped a photo and posted it...but I was in a hurry to post this, hah. I'm so surprised the cover art isn't out there yet! I could do a grand unveiling. :P
DeleteIt's a tie. I'm intrigued by both I Hunt Killers and The Forsaken. :)
ReplyDeleteI KNEW you would pick the Killers one. ;)
Deletewoo congrats to the winner!!
ReplyDeletei hunt killers/ not usa so bummr
ReplyDeleteI Hunt Killers! Dying to read this book :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats to the winners! I Hunt Killers seems interesting. :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats to the winners!
ReplyDeleteAwwww, congrats to the winners! :) Lord of Light does sound amazing! Set in the future, technology to reincarnate, complicated but brilliant... Sold is right, Wendy!
ReplyDeleteI love that you're sharing your ARCs for ARC tours, Wendy! <3 I've heard how complicated they can be and I don't think I'd be able to manage it haha but think that they're GREAT ways to get the word out! :) All four titles look so cool, and I really want to see what the cover for Forsaken looks like! I am intrigued! x)
Tours are actually pretty simple if everyone does what they're supposed to do...but sometimes it's difficult if people don't, or if the book goes missing. *sigh*
DeleteWhat?! You have I Hunt Killers? I want to read that really badly. Serial killers, FTW.
ReplyDeleteI knew you and Bonnie would pick the serial killer one, hah! I'm surprised by how many votes that one is getting, so it might just be the one that goes on tour.
DeleteThree way tie between The Night She Died, Monument 14, and The Forsaken.
ReplyDeleteAm I allowed to vote?
;)
Ugh! I meant The Night She DISAPPEARED...but you knew that!
ReplyDeleteYou've killed off that poor girl before they've even found her, hah!
DeleteI'm interested in two: Momument 14 and The Night She Disappeared.
ReplyDeleteI'm intrigued by both Monument 14, and I Hunt Killers.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see I Hunt Killers! It looks awesome, and Melissa Marr (who I adore and always has amazing book recommendations) was tweeting about how awesome it was as she was reading the other day. That's about all I need to want to read something!
ReplyDeleteit's a really nice idea, too bad I'm not in the US. And congrats to the winners.
ReplyDeleteI'm not in the US but all of these are on my to read list! >.< I have them except for I Hunt Serial Killers that I'm pretty sure I'll be getting soon I hope! :D
ReplyDeleteI vote for The Forsaken or Monument 14.
ReplyDeleteI vote for The Night She Disappeared. :)

Oooh Wendy, I've been dying to read The Night She Disappeared. I Hunt Serial Killer looks really good too. I hadn't heard of that one. :)
ReplyDeleteI Hunt Serial Killers sounds really awesome! Monument 14 sounds really good too. I didn't care for The Night She Disappeared.
ReplyDeleteAnd I meant I Hunt Killers. I don't know why I wrote Serial in there lol.
DeleteBecause "serial" is implied! :)
DeleteI Hunt Killers and Forsaken have been on my TBR list for a while now, I'd love to see tours with those books featured:)
ReplyDeleteIf I was going to pick one of those, I'd pick I Hunt Killers, but they all sound great. I know this is a little off-topic, but the one I really want you to tour is Masque of the Red Death. Seeing your reaction on GR makes me want to read it that much more. :)
ReplyDeleteHah! I think I am going to be giving away that one in April, Jen, so stay tuned. :)
DeleteOh! Congrats to your winners!
ReplyDeleteMy vote goes to The Forsaken! :)
Oh, Wow. Seeing your updated on GR for I Hunt Killers has made me REALLY want to read that!
ReplyDelete*updates (I really should learn to preview things before I post.) :)
DeleteHi Wendy!;))
ReplyDeleteIn late responding but I wanted to come by and say thank you for visiting my blog and grab your button to add to my blog roll. How delighted I am to notice that I'm already on your blog roll.....awe that just made my night!;)
XOXO
P.s. I know how to do most everything on my blog now except navigate my blog roll, LOL...so Mariya adds it for me so it may take a couple days for her to do it.;) Have a wonderful rest of the weekend Wendy!!!
Forsaken or Monument 14. I don't know why but when I was reading the description for Monument 14 I was reminded of Stephen King's The Mist. I guess because at one point they are all locked in a store together. Anyway this sounds great!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to the winners. I vote for I Hunt Killers or Monument 14. They both sounds FANTASTIC.
ReplyDeleteI think The Night She Disappeared sounds really good, I'm looking forward to it being released!
ReplyDeleteWait...which one wouldn't I read? I think they all sound really good. Forsaken and I Hunt Killers top the list for me though.
