Last week's winner of Claire Zulkey's An Off Year is... Paris! Send me your address, P. I loved hearing about what you guys would do/are doing with a gap year. I love dreaming about this!This week, I'm giving away a signed copy of Libba Bray's A Great and Terrible Beauty, the first book in the Gemma Doyle trilogy of magic and mayhem and ballgowns and etiquette and rule-breaking and strong, smart, funny girls. Can you tell I'm into these books? Here's Libba talking about writing girls with strong emotions the other night at a reading in NYC: Isn't she cool? The answer is yes. Anyway, to win this special signed copy of A Great and Terrible Beauty, just comment below and tell me what your Halloween plans are, if you've got 'em. I'm also accepting costume suggestions! For extra entries, tweet this contest or mention it on your blog (+1 for each of those), and you'll also get +1 entry for visiting any of the following blogs, which hosted me this week (it's been a busy week!). Just mention in the comments which you visited. I trust! 1. Sunshine Edition, where I vlog about candy corn. 2. M.I.S.S., where I'm interviewed and mentioned in the same breath as Judy Blume. I'm not worthy! 3. Jeri Smith-Ready's blog, where I share past costumes, and where you can also enter to win a signed copy of Lovestruck Summer. Oh, and one last thing: Tonight on readergirlz at 9pm EST/6pm PST, we'll be chatting with authors Lisa McMann (Wake), Cynthia Leitich Smith (Eternal) and Holly Cupala (the upcoming Tell Me a Secret). It's LIVE, and you're invited (see the banner, right). Come!
