Wednesday 30th September, 2009
Okay guys and gals! Tomorrow officially starts off Haunted October! We will have a total of 6 contests during October, 5 for Haunted October and one for Alice In Wonderland week (hosted by the very lovely Kate. I wanted to write out a post to give you all an idea of whats going to happen so everyone is ready because the contests will happen fast, and there will be lots of content being updated on the site!! First of all we will be having a guest post by Saundra Mitchell, and a extra special Halloweeny interview with Katie Alender, (and maybe one with Jessica Verday since I’m a slacker).
Hush, Hush Giveaway!
Okay, it turns out that mom doesn’t HAVE a lucky number, so I told her to pick between 1 and 99, which were the lowest & highest numbers given in the contest. And the number she picked? Was…. 24! So congrats to Shawna, I will be emailing you for your address!
As always, you need to be a follower for this contest!
Okay, there are still thirteen days until Hush, Hush is released, and I know there are still a ton of people dying to read it, and I loved it so much that I def need to buy a non-ARC copy. SO! I’m going to give my ARC away to one very lucky person :) ALL you have to do is post your lucky number in the comments! Whichever is closest to my Mom’s lucky number (which, to be honest, I don’t even know) will win! Why my mom’s lucky number, you ask? Well.. she loved Hush, Hush just as much as I did, so that’s why!
If there is more than one of the same number that is chosen, out of those people, the final winner will be chosen by a random generator!
The contest will run for exactly 24 hours, from 12:01 AM on Wednesday, Sept 30th to 12:01 AM Thursday, Oct 1st. Winner will be announced on Oct 2nd! Good luck & don’t forget your email!
The A-List by Zoey Dean
Monday 28th September, 2009
Main Characters: Anna, Ben, Cammie, Sam, DeeSummary:
After twelve years of exceptional grades, Waldork-Astoria teas, and “working well with others,” Anna Percy has had it with her to perfect academic record and her perfectly boring prep school life. So she jets off to LA, where in the course of twenty-four hours she’ll hit an Oscar winner’s wedding, lounge at an after-hours back-lot party, and meet a guy she just might love. Life couldn’t be going better Anna. That is, until Cammie, Sam, and Dee enter the scene. They are the A-List, and no one steals their spotlight.Anna’s Thoughts
The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane by Katherine Howe
Wednesday 23rd September, 2009
Main Characters: Connie, Sam, Deliverance DaneSummary:
Harvard graduate student Connie Goodwin needs to spend her summer doing research for her doctoral dissertation. But when her mother asks her to handle the sale of Connie’s grandmother’s abandoned home near Salem, she can’t refuse. As she is drawn deeper into the mysteries of the family house, Connie discovers an ancient key within a seventeenth-century Bible. The key contains a yellowing fragment of parchment with a name written upon it: Deliverance Dane. This discovery launches Connie on a quest–to find out who this woman was and to unearth a rare artifact of singular power: a physick book, its pages a secret repository for lost knowledge.As the pieces of Deliverance’s harrowing story begin to fall into place, Connie is haunted by visions of the long-ago witch trials, and she begins to fear that she is more tied to Salem’s dark past then she could have ever imagined.

Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick
Tuesday 22nd September, 2009
Main Characters: Nora, Patch, Vee, Eillot, JulesSummary:
For Nora Grey, romance was not part of the plan. She’s never been particularly attracted to the boys at her school, no matter how much her best friend, Vee, pushes them at her. Not until Patch came along. With his easy smile and eyes that seem to see inside her, Nora is drawn to him against her better judgment.But after a series of terrifying encounters, Nora’s not sure who to trust. Patch seems to be everywhere she is, and to know more about her than her closest friends. She can’t decide whether she should fall into his arms or run and hide. And when she tries to seek some answers, she finds herself near a truth that is way more unsettling than anything Patch makes her feel.
For Nora is right in the middle of an ancient battle between the immortal and those that have fallen – and, when it comes to choosing sides, the wrong choice will cost her life.
