Heather from Based on a True Story and Sheila from Book Journey are the winners of the two copies of Twenty Boy Summer in honor of Banned Book Week. Yay!

Happy reading!
And the winner of the Clockwork Prince Contest is….
RACHEL!!!
Thanks to everyone who participated and I will be sure to host another contest very soon, so keep checking in. 
This week I’m hosting a contest – yay! I’m giving away Clockwork Prince swag that I managed to scoop up at BEA. See the pics below to check out the sweet t-shirt and booklet (not the entire book, but still totally cool!):
It’s easy to enter for a chance to win. In the right sidebar, click on email subscription to get updates for my blog. Then comment on this post telling me what debut novel you’re most looking forward to this year. That’s it!!
The winner will be notified next Monday through your email subscription. Good luck!
I love winning prizes on book blogs. It’s so exciting to open my mailbox and see a perfect, book-sized package waiting for me. I’ve won a few this summer and it’s been so much fun! I’m like a little kid on Christmas morning opening my presents.
I wanted to say a big THANKS to the bloggers I received my most recent wins from:
Sheila @ Book Journey sent me this:
And James @ Book Chic Club sent me this: 
I can’t wait to read my new wins!
One last note – CONTEST ANNOUNCEMENT!!!!
I will be hosting a series of contests for fabulous prizes starting in August. Stay tuned to find out the details and enter for your chance to win!
I signed up @ Bookworming in the 21st Century for the Huge TBR Marathon she’s hosting there. Very exciting!
I have a huge list of books needing to be read, which I will post soon have posted below.
My HUGE TBR MARATHON Reading List:
Ex Machina #3 – Brian K. Vaughn
Ex Machina # 4 – Brian K. Vaughn
Mango Shaped Space – Wendy Mass
When I Was a Soldier – Valerie Zenatti
The Other Half of My Heart – Sundee T. Frazier
Whew! I better brew another pot of coffee with a list this long!
Well, I’ve learned a valuable lesson: Thinking I could participate in a Huge TBR readathon the same time I’ve set a self-imposed goal of completing the final revision of my book is not a great idea. In fact, it’s a very BAD idea. *sigh* I still read some of the books on my list, but sadly was way off my goal TBR reading mark.
Many thanks to Kristen @ Bookworming in the 21st Century for hosting such a great event!
A great big CONGRATS!!! to Beth Revis @ Writing It Out. She just sealed a deal with Razorbill/Penguin for her debut novel. Hooray! Her novel Across the Universe is due out Spring 2011. If that’s not exciting enough, she generously offered a sweet contest that consists of TWO prize packs – one for writers, one for readers. The swag is super cool – check out her blog to see what you can win.
Thanks, Beth, and Congratulations once again. And make sure you include some stops in NYC on your book tour!
