Please check out Leave a Mark this week where TRANCE is the featured auction book. You could bid for a marked copy of TRANCE, and help Leave a Mark and firstbook.org supply books for kids in need.

The signing at Changing Hands bookstore was phenomenal. Thanks everyone for coming. Kari, it was great to meet you. Lisa McMann read from her upcoming book, CRYER'S CROSS (*shivers*) and gave us a sneak preview of her upcoming mid-grade series, THE UNWANTEDS (*more shivers*), Aprilynne Pike read from SPELLS and told us about the next book she just turned in, and I got to meet Tom Leveen, who attended the event, and grab his new book, PARTY.

Aaand... I'd list more, but I need to take off, so I'll just leave you with this week's video link, which isn't exactly new, but I can't get it out of my head!

Party Winners

Blogger is a free service. Which means I shouldn't complain. But when I'm trying to party on the blog and I can't get into Blogger for the entire day? Yeah. Doesn't make me happy. But... I'm in now, so let the festivities continue!

As a reminder, the list of rules and prizes can be found here.

Winners!

Another short post because I'm squinting at the screen with a migraine. I haven't had one of these for a long time, so I'm counting my blessings. Just... ugh.

But the good news is that we have two winners. Rah! Rah!

The winner of Ally Carter's I'D TELL YOU I LOVE YOU BUT THEN I'D HAVE TO KILL YOU is:

CherieJ

The winner of Melissa de la Cruz's THE VAN ALEN LEGACY is:

Please send your mailing instructions to gerb(@) lindagerber (.) com and we'll get those sent out to you.

What else is up?

Don't forget the TRANCE countdown going on now. You could win $160 in CSN money. Check out the details here.

And in if you're a writer and haven't heard (or have forgotten...) Drop in on WriteOn Con for some happening workshops and craft discussions. Today is day two out of three, but the workshops will stay on line for a while. And it's free! You can check it out here.

This week's video linkie because I love the Old Spice guy and I thought this was clever:

Everybody Wins!

On the iPod - No Time by The Guess Who
(not really, but it would be the perfect theme song for me this week!)

This is going to be a quick post. The combination of very sick child, broken clothes dryer that forces me to go to a laundromat, four snow days in the past week for the kids, possible strep for me, a foot of snow outside and a looming deadline has left me with zero time to blog.

So here's what we're going to do... Everyone who commented on Julie's interview wins. The first three to send me an email with their mailing instructions to gerb (@) lindagerber (.) com get a signed THE IRON KING bookmark. Everyone else can have either a DEATH BY bookmark or, if they are willing to wait until mid-March, a shiny new TRANCE bookmark. Or both.

Oh, whatever... ANYONE who wants a TRANCE bookmark or two or three (and is willing to wait until mid-March to get it) go ahead and send me your mailing instructions, too and I'll put you on the list.

Meanwhile, do come back on Friday for another debut author interview with Olugbemisola Rhuday-Perkovich (ten points if you can say her name three times, fast!) author of 8th GRADE SUPERZERO.

Enjoy the rest of the week! See you Friday!

Winner and What's Up Wednesday

Happy hump day! Half-way to the long weekend!!!

Thanks for all the back-to-school memories. The winner of the gift cards by random drawing are:

lesley and S.o.L.a.R.

Please drop me an email at gerb @ lindagerber . com and I'll send those out to you.

Everyone else, you are going to want to be here on Friday for a special freebie celebrating the release of Lauren Baratz-Logsted's CRAZY BEAUTIFUL. Lauren will drop by for an interview and will be giving away a signed copy of CRAZY BEAUTIFUL. You do not want to miss this one!


What else is up this week?

My friend and crit partner Kate Coomb's fabulously funny book, RUNAWAY DRAGON hit the shelves just yesterday. If you love clever characters and witty dialog, you'll want to grab this sequel to RUNAWAY PRINCESS.


Jennifer Brown's HATE LIST also made its debut yesterday. She's having a blog party to celebrate the launch right here: (CLICK!) And check out the trailer. Wow.

Other waited-for book releases this week include Suzanne Collins' CATCHING FIRE, Mary E. Peterson's THE MILES BETWEEN and Jill Alexander's THE SWEETHEART OF PROSPER COUNTY.


In other news...Jacob Black is front and center in the newest NEW MOON movie trailer.



I heart Quileute Werewolves. : )

Check out Taylor Lautner's spread and interview in Teen Vogue.

That's it for now. See you on Friday for the CRAZY BEAUTIFUL freebie!

Winners and Hints

First of all, thanks everyone, for making Haley feel welcome and for the well wishes! I appreciate it! Now that I'm back online, I have sooo much catching up to do!

Let's start with the announcement of last week's Freebie Friday winners:

Winner #1 is Lalaland
Bonus winner is Pinktooth2

Congrats! Since these are egift cards, make sure I have your name and email addy and I can get them sent right out to you. And Pinktooth, if you could send me your snail mail addy, I can send your bookmarks off.

Everyone else, make sure to join us back here on Friday for two more chances to win. Lucienne Diver will be joining us and giving away her brand spanking new YA novel, VAMPED. I know you won't want to miss that!

Meanwhile, to give you *ahem* a head start on this week's bonus feature, here's where I'm popping up around the web this week:

Celebrating Bookluver Carol's Blog anniversary and talking about writing and research here.
You can also win a copy of DEATH BY DENIM as soon as it's released here.

Remembering the most exotic thing I've eaten abroad on Wendy Toliver's blog.

Getting fired up (again) about Women's Ski Jumping being banned from the Olympics on Jennifer Echols' livejournal.

Confessing my writing bloopers on Amanda Ashby's blog.

Intriguing Diana Wallach about trance writing on her blog.

Talking backstory on Alyson Noel's blog.

Dishing writer advice on Karin Gillespie's Granny Panty Chronicles. (Don't you just love that name?)

Aand I think that's enough for now, don't you? But you might want to peek in tomorrow for more...

No Way. It's a Tie!

Well, it was hard to choose a winner this week because you all grovel so beautifully. : )

So... it came down to a point system. The two highest scorers not only posted the countdown on their blogs, they added bribery (truffles!) and six-point reasoning - and tied.

Therefore, this week, I will name two winners:

KB
and
Kathleen Elizabeth

Please send your mailing instructions to gerb (@) lindagerber (.) com and I'll get your prizes sent out to you.

Everyone else, pop in tomorrow for another chance to win!

WINNERS!!!

Special thanks to my author friends for offering their time, talents and books. And huge thanks to everyone else for stopping by to comment and enjoy the festivities! I was blown away that so many of you took the time to stop in on all those cyber tour sites. That was a huge time commitment and I appreciate it!
