The Dark Divine Nail Polish Contest

The Dark Divine

While waiting for the publication and release of the fantastic book by Bree Despain, we are proud to host a nail polish giveaway.

From Amazon.com:
Grace Divine, daughter of the local pastor, always knew something terrible happened the night Daniel Kalbi disappeared--the night she found her brother Jude collapsed on the porch, covered in his own blood--but she has no idea what a truly monstrous secret that night held.

The memories her family has tried to bury resurface when Daniel returns, three years later, and enrolls in Grace and Jude's high school. Despite promising Jude she'll stay away, Grace cannot deny her attraction to Daniel's shocking artistic abilities, his way of getting her to look at the world from new angles, and the strange, hungry glint in his eyes.

The closer Grace gets to Daniel, the more she jeopardizes her life, as her actions stir resentment in Jude and drive him to embrace the ancient evil Daniel unleashed that horrific night. Grace must discover the truth behind the boy's dark secret...and the cure that can save the ones she loves. But she may have to lay down the ultimate sacrifice to do it--her soul.


Intrigued? Check out the book and enter the contest to win a Dark Divine nail polish.

My Soul to Save CONTEST

My Soul to Save by Rachel Vincent

When Kaylee Cavanaugh screams, someone dies.

So when teen pop star Eden croaks on stage and Kaylee doesn’t wail, she knows something is dead wrong. She can’t cry for someone who has no soul.

The last thing Kaylee needs right now is to be skipping school, breaking her dad’s ironclad curfew and putting her too-hot-to-be-real boyfriend’s loyalty to the test. But starry-eyed teens are trading their souls for a flickering lifetime of fame and fortune in exchange for eternity in the Netherworld—a consequence they can’t possibly understand.

Kaylee can’t let that happen, even if trying to save their souls means putting her own at risk….
Soul Screamers: The last thing you hear before you die.

You can learn more about Kaylee by downloading the free Soul Screamers prequel My Soul To Lose here!

Here's a link to the official Soul Screamers Web site. Check it out!

Hearts CONTEST

The Lonely Hearts Club
Penny is sick of boys and sick of dating, so she vows: No more. She’s had one too many bad dates, and has been hurt by one too many bad boys. It’s a personal choice…and soon everybody wants to know about it. It seems that Penny’s not the only girl who’s tired of the way girls change themselves (most of the time for the worse) in order to get their guys…or the way their guys don’t really care about them. Girls are soon thronging to The Lonely Hearts Club (named after Sgt. Pepper’s band), and Penny finds herself near legendary for her non-dating ways – which is too bad, since the leader of The Lonely Hearts Club has found a certain boy she can’t help but like…

Three (3) winners will receive:

• The Lonely Hearts Club book

A Little Announcement:

I'm miss the Book Blog community so much, every single one you! Junior year, has made me super busy taking a full schedule which I regret but hopefully, I can do all the things I want to, like read and review books. I'm going to plan to do at least a weekly posting on random topics, its better then nothing. Right?

The Vampire's Assistant Movie Giveaway

Recently, there's been an increase in the number of YA books turning into movies or TV shows.

I actually like this because it makes people read books. How many people do you know who read Twilight, after they found out there was a movie for it? Personally, I can say a handful. (Plus, I am one of those people. hehe)

Here's another movie, THE VAMPIRE’S ASSISTANT based on the popular series of books by Darren Shan.

In theaters OCTOBER 23rd

Cirque Du Freak: The Vampire’s Assistant, based on the popular series of books by Darren Shan, is a fantasy-adventure about a teenager who unknowingly breaks a 200-year-old truce between two warring factions of vampires. Pulled into a fantastic life of misunderstood sideshow freaks and grotesque creatures of the night, one teen will vanish from the safety of a boring existence and fulfill his destiny in a place drawn from nightmares.

(To view the trailer click here or click on the tab labeled "Trailer" on the widget below.)

Looks pretty darn good, doesn't it. And the lead





So, to give you a little incentive other then Josh Hutcherson looks fine all grown up and to check the movie out, I present to you all a contest wherein:

Two (2) winners will receive:

* Cirque du Freak book Set (3 titles in one book)
* Cirque du Freak: The Vampire’s Assistant Locker Mirror


DVD’s are valued at $16.98 each.

Here's some info regarding the book that is up for grabs:

THE VAMPIRE'S ASSISTANT and Other Tales from the Cirque du Freak by Darren Shan

New movie edition features the first three books--Cirque Du Freak, The Vampire's Assistant, and Tunnels of Blood-- bound up in one volume!

Do you love to be scared? Then don't miss the terrifying adventure that begins when Darren and his best friend, Steve, get tickets to the CIRQUE DU FREAK, a wonderfully bizarre and creepy freak show. Brace yourself for thrills and chills as the boys witness a parade of grotesque creatures and face their deepest fears by entering the darkest world of the vampire. In the blood-curdling tradition of Anne Rice and Stephen King, CIRQUE DU FREAK will have you shrieking for the next horror show!

Suite Scarlett Contest

Haven't gotten to read the Suite Scarlett by Maureen Johnson yet, with is beautiful newly released paperback edition cover?

Here's another chance to win one of THREE copies.

But first the book synopsis:

The Hopewell Hotel is small Art Deco “jewelbox” in New York City. The hotel has a grand past, but a somewhat dusty and broken present, with pigeons breaking into the rooms, chandeliers with more cobweb than glass, and constantly exploding toilets. Guests are rare, but it does have one constant set of inhabitants... the Martin family.

Scarlett Marin is the third of the four Martins. Scarlett is fifteen, blonde, and broke. Her friends are gone for the summer. And she’s got this one curl that exists just to stab her in the eye and blind her. Welcome to her life...

LOL at the last sentence.

HARRY POTTER (contest)

Did you know its been TEN years since Scholastics' published the first Harry Potter books?


Harry Potter was basically what jump started my so called reading career. These books are what made me realize just how amazing reading can be and how magical it is. (I know, I know it sounds really cheesy but its late and I love Harry Potter!)


Enough incoherent babbling in my part, what I'm getting at is: YOU have a chance to witness the amazing-ness of Harry Potter because I'm happen to be hosting a contest. =)


Official Contest Details:

"Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince will hit theaters this summer – the 6th film in the series. Why not catch the finale NOW by reading the page turning final installment of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – released in paperback July 7th. It all comes down to this - a final face off between good and evil. You plan to pull out all the stops, but every time you solve one mystery, three more evolve."


So FIVE (5) winners will be chosen to receive their very own

• paperback edition of book # 7 Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows AND as an added bonus, a collectors edition Harry Potter pin (its very very pretty)
  

You know you want one.
