Look what I got in the mail. Bloodborn bookmarks, hot off the press, smelling of fresh ink.

Pretty! Want some? They’re glossy and big, a good 2 inches by 8 inches, so they won’t get lost in even the thickest hardcovers. You know what? I think it’s giveaway time.

To enter, all you have to do is blog about Bloodborn: the cover image, release date, and why you’re looking forward to reading it. Comment here and link to your blog entry. The first 10 bloggers to do so will win a mix of signed Bloodborn and Other bookmarks. Good luck!

UPDATE: All 10 prizes have been won!

Have you been yearning for an elusive ARC of Bloodborn? Want to read it a full 3 months before everybody else does? Here’s your chance…

It’s no secret that I loved Beautiful Darkness by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl to pieces. (Not convinced? Read my review.) So when I got a second ARC in the mail, my book hoarding instincts kicked in, and I cackled as I stored my pressshious in my book cave and… ahem. Okay, so I’m not that greedy. In fact, I’m willing to share.

Contest Time! I’m giving away a lovely pristine ARC of Beautiful Darkness to one lucky winner! To enter, comment here before October 1 and make sure you follow me on Twitter… so please leave your Twitter name as well. Good luck!

Fine print: contest open only to US residents, thanks to postage costs. You can only enter once, and I will double-check to see if you’re actually following me on Twitter. Thanks!

Exhibit A: I have bookmarks. Aren’t they pretty?

I know it’s hard to believe. But yes, Other debuts in only TEN DAYS. This morning, I felt obliged to create a whiz-bang contest of sorts. My eyes roved around the room… and settled upon my shiny Other bookmarks. They looked sad without a book to nestle in. And believe it or not, I don’t have enough books to put them all in. Nor do I have the selfishness to keep them all to myself, as shiny as they may be. Hence, I’m announcing a CONTEST.

This one’s easy. Since there are 10 days left before Other debuts, I’m giving away 10 signed bookmarks to 10 winners. Are you on the fence? I’m going to include a handwritten letter with each bookmark, and in each letter will be a unique teaser from Other or Bloodborn.

How to enter? You have to be someone in the US who hasn’t read Other yet. Comment here with your best guess as to the wildest/craziest/best thing that might happen in Other. I will randomly choose 10 winners from the comments. This is why those who have already read the book need not enter. Don’t worry, though. I’m going to be running another, bigger contest after Other hits the shelves, for everybody who’s read the book already. Expect more pooka -ish prizes! 

This contest ends July 1, when Other debuts. Good luck!

Exhibit B: An author showing signs of Contest Rabies.

So, five people here on my website and on my Livejournal correctly identified where Pooka was in those photos for my last contest–the cathedral in Köln, aka Cologne, Germany. Thanks to the random number generator at Random.org, the lucky winner of a signed bookmark and a postcard from me is Edawn from LJ. Congrats! Will email you shortly.

I know. I’ve been horrible and offline for the past few weeks (months?) thanks to romping–er, studying abroad–in France and now Germany. Also, nail-biting and crossing my fingers and toes over the oh-so-soon release of Other! Just under one and a half months now! Now… I think it’s time for a CONTEST.

What’s up for grabs? I think a postcard from France or Germany should be nice… along with a shiny Other bookmark. All signed by me, of course, with a handwritten teaser from Other on the postcard!

How do you enter? Well, all you have to do are look at these photos and tell me where Pooka is at. City and country, please. Entries are due by midnight on Saturday May 22, and I will mail the postcard and bookmark to one lucky winner, randomly chosen from those who guess correctly! And if I get enough entries, I will be tempted to run another “Where’s Pooka? Postcard Contest” for a different location.

Please leave your name, your guess of where Pooka is, and your email address in the comments. Now, here are the photos…. have fun!
