Introducing the #SnowLikeAshes Twittah Partay (+Giveaway)!

Guys, I've been planning this party for weeks! Nikki from Fiction Freak and I are so excited to bring you this. Okay, I'm going to be honest; recently, I just lost my computer because my motherboard crashed so I'll be computer-less for a month. However, nothing will stop me from hosting a twitter party for one of my fave books! So I hope you'll enjoy it and come with me to partayyy.

For those who need them, BOOK DETAILS!:

Title: Snow Like Ashes
Author: Sara Raasch

Pub Date: October 14th, 2014

Publisher: Balzer + Bray

Page Count: 432

A heartbroken girl. A fierce warrior. A hero in the making.

Sixteen years ago the Kingdom of Winter was conquered and its citizens enslaved, leaving them without magic or a monarch. Now, the Winterians’ only hope for freedom is the eight survivors who managed to escape, and who have been waiting for the opportunity to steal back Winter’s magic and rebuild the kingdom ever since.

Orphaned as an infant during Winter’s defeat, Meira has lived her whole life as a refugee, raised by the Winterians’ general, Sir. Training to be a warrior—and desperately in love with her best friend, and future king, Mather — she would do anything to help her kingdom rise to power again.

So when scouts discover the location of the ancient locket that can restore Winter’s magic, Meira decides to go after it herself. Finally, she’s scaling towers, fighting enemy soldiers, and serving her kingdom just as she’s always dreamed she would. But the mission doesn’t go as planned, and Meira soon finds herself thrust into a world of evil magic and dangerous politics – and ultimately comes to realize that her destiny is not, never has been, her own.

Emrys—a fiery, red-headed Fae—always embraced her life in the Highlands, far from the city’s draining technology, until she’s sent to London to rejoin the Faery Guard. But this isn’t any normal assignment—she’s sent to guard Prince Richard: Britain’s notorious, partying bad boy and soon-to-be King. The prince’s careless ways and royal blood make him the irresistible for the dark spirits that feed on mortals. Sweet, disheveled, and alive with adventure—Richard is one charge who will put Emrys’s magic and heart to the test.

When an ancient force begins preying on the monarchy, Emrys must hunt through the London’s magical underworld, facing down Banshees, Black Dogs and Green Women to find the one who threatens Richard’s life. In this chaos of dark magic, palace murders and paparazzi, Emrys finds herself facing an impossible choice. For despite all her powers, Emrys has discovered a force that burns brighter than magic: love.

#Avalon Twitter Party Deets and Giveaway!

Avalon by Mindee Arnett got a positive rating from me and I ended up liking it a lot! So on random, I asked Mindee if she would be interested in a twitter party and she said yes! (I have no idea if I'm going to start doing these, LOL) Do you want to come to this party? Yeah? Yeah? GOOD.

For those who need them, BOOK DETAILS!:

Title: Avalon
Author: Mindee Arnett
Pub Date: January 21st, 2014
Publisher: Balzer + Bray
Page Count: 432

A ragtag group of teenage mercenaries who crew the spaceship Avalon stumble upon a conspiracy that could threaten the entire galaxy in this fascinating and fast-paced sci-fi adventure from author Mindee Arnett.

Of the various star systems that make up the Confederation, most lie thousands of light-years from First Earth-and out here, no one is free. The agencies that govern the Confederation are as corrupt as the crime bosses who patrol it, and power is held by anyone with enough greed and ruthlessness to claim it. That power is derived from one thing: metatech, the devices that allow people to travel great distances faster than the speed of light.

Jeth Seagrave and his crew of teenage mercenaries have survived in this world by stealing unsecured metatech, and they're damn good at it. Jeth doesn't care about the politics or the law; all he cares about is earning enough money to buy back his parents' ship, Avalon, from his crime-boss employer and getting himself and his sister, Lizzie, the heck out of Dodge. But when Jeth finds himself in possession of information that both the crime bosses and the government are willing to kill for, he is going to have to ask himself how far he'll go to get the freedom he's wanted for so long.

Avalon is the perfect fit for teens new to sci-fi as well as seasoned sci-fi readers looking for more books in the YA space-and a great match for fans of Joss Whedon's cult hit show Firefly.

Six Months Later (#SML) Twitter Party DEETS and Giveaway!

 

We are at it again! But this time I've paired with my twitter twin to host Natalie D Richard's DEBUT NOVEL, Six Months Later! This is a (week after) release day party! Come using the hashtag #SML, talk to Natalie about her new book (which is kind of completely awesome) and erm... there are prizes involved!

For those who need them, BOOK DETAILS!:

Title: Six Months Later

Author: Natalie D. Richards

Pub Date: October 8th, 2013

Publisher: Sourcebooks Fire

Page Count: 336

Chloe didn't think about it much when she nodded off in study hall on that sleepy summer day. But when she wakes up, snow is on the ground and she can't remember the last six months of her life. Before, she'd been a mediocre student. Now, she's on track for valedictorian and being recruited by Ivy League schools. Before, she never had a chance with super jock Blake. Now he's her boyfriend. Before, she and Maggie were inseparable. Now her best friend won't speak to her.

What happened to her?

And why can't she remember?

 Sounds awesome, right? Yep. Just agree with me.

Here are the rules/tips/info-may-toe for the party. Come on, without this, it wouldn't function. Please also note that this is NOT set in stone. During the party, this is the plan, but again, anything can happen. 

1. WHO: This party will be hosted by Alex B (@BloggerFangirl) and I (@NovaBlogder). So you might just want to be following us. Hehe, just a tip.

2. WHERE: Twitter.

3. WHEN: October 8th at 7 PM ET. 6 PM CST, 5 PM MST, 4 PM PST. This will be a party for one hour.

4. WHAT: This is to celebrate the amazingness that is Six Months Later! Come and ask Natalie some questions. Make sure you've got some prepared, whether you've read the book or not! It will be super crazy! Also, Nat may not answer ALL questions, because twitter does have a limit. If your question is not answered, never fear! You can @ message her after the party too or later and if she's not busy, she'll reply!

5. PRIZES: We are giving away 2 prizes! We've got a copy of SML and some swag for a US winner and one for an INT winner. US peeps aren't eligible for the INT giveaway. We will also be doing a contest for each with a CHALLENGE! So keep your eyes peeled. Giveaways will be held midway and at the end of the party!

6. HOW: I recommend using a hashtag following site. I used to use tweetchat, but because it's shut down, twubs.com is also quite useful. Just enter the hashtag SML and then log into your twitter account to tweet. Also, if you want a reply, make sure you use the hashtag. There is no guarantee I/BloggerFangirl/Natalie will check our Mentions.

Title: Find Me

Author: Romily Bernard

Pub Date: September 24th, 2013

Publisher: HarperTeen

Page Count: 307

 

“Find Me.”

These are the words written on Tessa Waye’s diary. The diary that ends up with Wick Tate. But Tessa’s just been found . . . dead.

Wick has the right computer-hacking skills for the job, but little interest in this perverse game of hide-and-seek. Until her sister Lily is the next target.

Then Griff, trailer-park boy next door and fellow hacker, shows up, intent on helping Wick. Is a happy ending possible with the threat of Wick’s deadbeat dad returning, the detective hunting him sniffing around Wick instead, and a killer taunting her at every step?

Foster child. Daughter of a felon. Loner hacker girl. Wick has a bad attitude and sarcasm to spare.

But she’s going to find this killer no matter what.

Because it just got personal.

 Sounds awesome, right? Yep. Just agree with me.

Here are the rules/tips/info-may-toe for the party. Come on, without this, it wouldn't function. Please also note that this is NOT set in stone. During the party, this is the plan, but again, anything can happen.
