OFFICIAL READING IS SEXY BOOK CLUB CONTEST!!


Hey all...

Alright, let's get this party started. In celebration of my favorite motto (and favorite t-shirt--modeled below at 8 a.m. this morning on the street outside my house in Brooklyn, and courtesy of the wonderful Becky Anderson of Anderson's Book Shop in Naperville, IL), I'm launching a READING IS SEXY GIVEAWAY CONTEST.

Here's how it works:

+1 point just for commenting back (with email included), by completing this phrase: Reading Is [BLANK]. And don't say Reading Is Sexy. That's my line. Find your own adjective!

+2 points for being in a book club. I'm trusting you to be honest about this, peeps...particularly for those of you who for "security reasons" (ummm...Lenore) can't provide photographic evidence of its existence.

+4 points for A PICTURE OF YOU AND YOUR BOOK CLUB!!!

But what do you have to do for +3 points? you may well be asking. The answer is: Nothing! Today is a day when I am doing away with the number three, for no good reason whatsoever. Hey. It's my blog, and I can play like I want to.

Onto the next question: WHAT WILL YOU WIN? You will win a signed copy of my book, BEFORE I FALL, along with signed bookmarks, and perhaps a sneak peak at the first chapter of my new book, DELIRIUM--which won't even be out until early 2011 and is super hush-hush!!!!

This contest runs until April 3oth and is open internationally.

I don't belong to an actual book club but I do have friend who we get together & talk about what books we are reading or have read. They are more book friends rather than a club. I will let you judge if that is point worthy.

I just read Before I Fall and i am literally OBSESSED!! LOVE IT!!

The Bookaholic said...

Reading is...undescribable. There is no one possible word to describe the pleasure we get from it. (I do however, have a pin that says "reading is sexy")

I am in a book club as a matter of fact. I am in the FHS Mobey Dick Book Club. Althoughg I do not have a photo to go along with it. I also now currently work at a children's bookstore, which intoduced to me the absolute lovliness of BIF. Does that get me some extra points?

Hannah S. said...

Reading is my shtick.
or
Reading is the only thing cool in my mundane life.
or
Reading is the match to my fire. Ooh baby, ouch!

Oh, and I'm in a book club! It began in seventh grade, and we just never stopped. We hold two meetings per month (held at our local bookstore/coffeehouse) and we read ARC copies of books, review them, and discuss. So fun!
I still think it's hilarious that we chose the coffeehouse of all places to hold our monthly meetings. For some strange reason, our seventh grade selves thought that holding a book while drinking a hot beverage (Not coffee but hot chocolate since I wasn't allowed to drink coffee back then. How cool was I?) would make us look instantly sexy. Like that beautiful, tortured, poetic soul we read about this one time... Seriously! I (we) were (are) so lame!
Anyway, thanks for this great contest!


Love, Hannah

Oh yeah and I think you're shirt is totally cool!

I think reading is ADDICTIVE!
Unfortunately, I am not part of a book club, though someday, I hope to be. :)
HOWEVER, I do post reviews through readergirlz.com... and we have monthly book chats. I'm not sure if that counts, since it's just online, but I'll leave that up to you. Thanks. :)

Tynga said...

Thanks for such a great contest!

Reading is.. Addictive! Beware!

I can't say I have a Book Club in the strict form because I live in a french community and YA/UF books arent even available at our librairie. Sad I know.
BUT I am so addicted to books that I am convincing my colleges at work to try in read my books, even if their english isn't the best. So far I rallied 3 of them to my cause lol

Much Love!
