Happy Holiday Swag Contest!
As promised, today is the day I unveil the slick new swag for my holiday contest. This swag bag is chock-full of goodies you can keep for yourself, give as gifts for the holidays, or use in a blog giveaway.
In my opinion, there IS no better gift than a book, so for this contest, I’ve featured some of my favorite reads. It was REALLY hard to choose just this many! So to compensate, I’ll be listing in an upcoming blog post my own Best Books to Give as Gifts for various age groups, likes/dislikes, etc.
In the meantime, feast your eyes on this awesomeness (and I apologize in advance for the photo quality – my camera was on a weird setting and I don’t have time to go back and retake these!)!
Included in this batch of swag is;
$25 Hot Topic gift card
$15 iTunes gift card
Rose t-shirt
Black-and-white checkered scarf
Gothis choker
Set of earrings including the awesome rose ones!
Candle
Signed Prophecy of the Sisters locker poster
Prophecy of the Sisters locker magnet
Prophecy of the Sisters bookmark
Kazoo
August Rush DVD
Music & Lyrics DVD
Edward Scissorhands DVD
Tons of candy including a mini-gum ball machine, Mentos, a King-size KitKat, bag of Lindt white chocolate truffles, and MOAR!
And my favorite! The BOOKS!
Libba Bray’s Gemma Doyle Trilogy including a Great and Terrible Beauty, Rebel Angels, and The Sweet Far Thing (timeless!)
Tamora Pearce’s Terrier and Bloodhound, the first two books in the Bekka Cooper series (magical!)
Lisa Mantchev’s Eyes Like Stars (brilliant!)
Prophecy of the Sisters audiobook narrated by the incomparable Eliza Dushku
Can you say WOOT!
😀
Here how it works;
You get one point each for the following;
+1 for leaving a comment about your favorite part of the holidays/winter
+1 for linking to this contest on your blog
+1 for posting a status update linking to this contest on your Myspace or Facebook page
+1 for posting a bulletin on Myspace linking to this contest
+1 for Tweeting the link to this contest
+1 for suggesting me or the Prophecy Fan Page to at least 10 of your Facebook friends
That’s a total of SIX possible entries! Because of the weight of these books (of which there are many), I’m afraid this contest is only open to entrants in the US. I’m sorry! You guys know how much I love my International readers, but it would truly cost me a fortune to ship this overseas. 😦
Feel free to enter, though if you have a US address to which everything can be sent.
Contest will run through midnight EST, November 30th, 2009.
I want to take a moment to thank the Guerilla Girls for including Prophecy of the Sisters in their Best Books of 2009! This one was a real honor, because Guerilla Girls On Tour is such an empowering group. Thank you! ETA: The Guerilla Girls Book List is actually a relisting of the books chosen by Women in Letters and Literary Arts (WILLA). WILLA is still accepting nominees to the list, and I can’t think of a more worthwhile aim than to honor great books written by talented women, so go take a look!
Prophecy of the Sisters is also a 2009 Cybils Nominee in the category of Fantasy/Science Fiction for Teens. Check the Cybil site on January 1st for the finalists!
Lastly, Prophecy of the Sisters is the featured book on the Five Awesome YA Fans website for the month of November. I’ll be guest blogging there all month and will also be posting the AMAZING new musical theme composed by my teenage son, Kenneth, for the second book in the Prophecy series, Guardian of the Gate.
Hope you are all well!
❤

The best part of winter is SNOW DAYS! It’s awesome when my husband & kids & I are all home for the WHOLE day with no place we have to be. It is so nice to chill in our PJ’s and watch movies or play games or even take a nap. Snow days are THE BEST!

The best part about Christmas to me is that I get my family all back together. For those sacred times of Christmas, the fighting stops, the teasing, the shouts, everything negative ceases to exist and the love comes out. We laugh, we joke, we scream with joy! That’s what the best part about Christmas is, the love.

My favorite thing about the holidays is spending time with my fiancee and our son. I also like this time of year because it means I get to see some family that I don’t get to see any other time of the year. I enjoy getting to shop and create things for my family and friends for the holidays. I enjoy giving more than receiving. Thanks for the chance! bekki1820cb@gmail.com
My favorite thing about the holidays are watching my kids excitement. I remember how I felt when I was a child and it’s nice to experience that feeling again through my children.

My favorite part of winter is how clear the night sky looks. The stars become so sharp in my vision that it takes my breath away for a moment and I forget the cold. I grew up in northern North Dakota so when I caught a glimpse of the Northern Lights, I could imagine myself up in the North Pole with polar bears in the distance and the thought of being on top of the world, seeing something so colorful and majestic. It is truly magical to me.
+1 My favorite part about the holidays is my family getting together. Nothing better than that 🙂

+1 My favorite part about winter is getting enough of a school break to enjoy all the lovely books I couldn’t read during school days. My friends tease me because I can’t wait till school is over (for the holidays) because I want to jump into heavy reading.

Michelle,
I used to love the magic of winter, the fallen snow turned our wooded rural Kentucky yard into a wonderland full of romance for my wife and I. But since injurying my back 2 years ago, I’ve been unable to work much, and as the holidays come around the melancholy of Christmas past breaks my heart, since I can’t buy a present for the one who gives my life meaning. I happened on your site, and my wife loves to read, so I thought I would enter. Bless You,
Randy.
oh yeah and e-mail

Have I mentioned before how awesome you are, Michelle? Oh, only about a million and a half times… 🙂
My favorite part of the holidays is… staying warm! 😦 *sigh* My house is always freezing, so it’s always a treat when I enter a building/room that is warmer than 59 degrees. That aside, I also love being with my family for the major holiday celebrations. 🙂

thanks for this amazing contest, I really hope I win. *knocks on wood* But I love the Gemma Doyle series.
My favorite part of winter is snuggling up on the couch under a blanket.
I put a link on my facebook and my twitter.
My favorite thing about the holidays is buying things for other people. Seriously, I just LOVE it. I love buying for people in general and Christmas is the one time that I can do it without getting in trouble. Though I do tend to go a little crazy each year and end up getting in trouble anyway. xD My other favorite part is wrapping. LOVE IT.

The thing I love most about the holidays is getting to see my family. I get to see most of them throughout the year at one time or another. It’s so much more fun to have them all together at the same time! The family dynamic is crazy fun. I also love finding just the right present for each person. It’s a fun challenge for me.
+ 1 My favorite part about the holidays would have to be watching my Grandma start a food fight at the family gathering. Oh yes… it never gets old. Haha. I just have to stay out of the way or she might peg me in the head with a dinner roll or something. ❤

Favorite thing about winter:
A slight chill (not too much – I am southern & love warm weather), an oversized chair, a good book, and a glass of caramel apple cider. There is nothing like getting off work or a late Saturday evening and setting the perfect scene.

My favorite thing to do during the holidays is go to the mall and shop for the perfect gifts. My favorite thing about the holidays is watching as my loved ones open their gifts and the looks on their faces.
My favorite part of the holidays is getting the family together and spending quality time. Staying indoors with a hot cup of coffee or chocolate, watching movies, or reading a good book while the snow falls outside.

Favorite part of the holidays: it may be a common answer but since my mom moved to Florida, it’s definitely nice to have the family together so I would have to say that’s my favorite part.
+1 My favorite part is the togetherness of family and friends. Also, having my tree twinkling its rainbow fairy lights in the evening, while cuddling and smelling the heavenly Mistletoe candle.

All the goodies look good, man and yes books are good gifts. Can’t wait to read you book list.
My favorite part of the holidays is going over to dinner at my friend’s place in Atlanta. I love that we can be together eat, make fun, and try to gamble with Dominos (even though Mama will stop us even if it only pennies). I love celebrating my birthday with my parents & sister with eating cake. (Dec. 20) Also winter is my favorite season because I love how the sky looks in the morning.

Awesome contest! 🙂
I still haven’t read Prophecy of the Sisters. I really need to get on that.
+1 my favorite part is the weather. I love when the holiday season starts and the air gets all crisp and cold and super breathable. And all of the leaves have fallen off the trees and everything is beautiful and colorful. And if you’re lucky, there’s snow, and you get to breathe in the crisp, cold, snowy air and build a snowman and make snow angels.

My favorite part of the holidays is Christmas lights and not white ones. They have to be all the colors and full out.

So. Much. Pretty.
How did I not know Eliza narrated the audiobook?! And why have I not bought a copy yet?! Having a major facepalm moment here.
+1 for leaving a comment about your favorite part of the holidays/winter
My favorite part is definitely the whole family getting together, but since I moved three states away from the rest of my family, my favorite part is getting to bake extravagant cakes, pies, and tortes. For a Christmas party I am baking a chocolate pomegranate torte garnished with fresh pomegranate seeds. YUM!

lol not entering (I’d feel bad since I got all the books included XD pass the love on!) but I can still post about my favorite part of winter/the holidays.
two words: THE FOOD.
I mean from my boyfriend’s (jewish) family I get Brisket (omg I love brisket), from my mom’s side I get all sorts of lovely candy and cookies (oatmeal cranberry white chocolate cookies, butterscotch bark!), my dad’s side I get potato croquettes, the African family I babysit for makes this wonderful soup and the Indian family I babysit for makes this hummus-curry-bread thing…
Its love Michelle. Its love.
I’ll tweet this too!
My favorite part of winter is the Christmas lights and hot chocolate.

Oh My Gosh! Thats a lot of stuff (love the Gemma Doyle trilogy).
My favorite thing about the winter season is when my family decorates our Christmas tree and listening to Christmas music while we decorate.
Wow, what an extravagant giveaway! Count me in, please. 🙂
+1 I have two favorites for the season. I love the cold/snow more than anything, and I also love the colored lights and decorations. Makes the streets look a lot happier.

The best part about the holidays – annoying your younger brother with a Kazoo!
But seriously – it’s got to be the family gatherings. I love my cousins, aunts, uncles – ect. – whether they want me to or not – my love is something that you can’t return to the store! BAM!
OH yeah – … presents are nice too. c ;
+1 My favorite part about the winter season is sledding.

PotS is narrated by Eliza Dushku?!?!?! Really?! I had NO clue about that one. So very, very cool! And to think I was almost stopped just by looking at the first photo and thinking “Oh, I LOVED Music & Lyrics it was.. OMG Is that a Pac-Man Ghosty?!” Heh. So cool.
I just completed my Gemma Doyle trilogy today, actually! Drat!
And er, I realize now that I am commenting even though I am not entering (and now I see that I can’t anyhow being Canadian and all. ;)). Sorry about that, but I was just bursting with things to say about your swag! Awesome contest!
Lol! That’s okay, Cat! It’s nice to hear from you, and you could always have given those Gemma Doyle books away as a gift…
