LINGER ARC CONTEST!!!

First of all HUGE thank you to everyone for the awesome comments and encouragement you've left me for finishing my major revision! I'm on cloud 9, I'm so thrilled with what I've accomplished and now I'm getting into the hardcore line editing so I can start querying agents by my birthday (March 2nd) so I can totally celebrate that day because I've finally entered the next adventure in the publishing process.

You know what else I'll be doing on March 2nd...picking someone to send my uber precious arc of the highly anticipated and amazing LINGER, by Maggie Stiefvater, the sequel to the AMAZING SHIVER.

Isn't it pretty???? What's inside is even better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok time to win!

Those of you who have entered my contests before know I do things a little untraditionally...


For those of you who are new, here's the drill!

Become a follower--trust me, it makes you cool! Leave a comment below and tell me what your favorite Maggie Stiefvater scene is (this can be from Shiver, Ballad or Lament). And if you haven't read any Maggie...go get on that!

Want more votes? Bring a friend over to my blog and make sure they tell me you sent them and I'll give you an extra vote! For every friend you send, your name gets entered again. AND if your referral makes a referral than you get more chances from that too because I grandfather in the votes. So please get creative and tweet, blog, facebook, beg, bribe...ummm just figure out a way to get more friends over here so you have more chances to win, ok?  :-)

And..now I'll show you how this works in case what I just said makes no sense.

So Alice Cullen follows my blog and she sees that I'm giving away an arc of Linger and she wants it because she really needs to know what happens next with Grace and Sam. She'd totally use her psychic powers to see how it ends, but the wolves in the story are blocking her power So she enters my contest by commenting below, "My favorite Maggie Steifvater scene is in Ballad when Nuala shows up because she has really awesome short hair, like me"

1 entry is awarded to Alice!

But Alice isn't satisfied with 1 entry. She doesn't see herself winning that way, she wants more. So....she calls, Edward.

Alice: Edward, you have to go and follow Frankie's blog. She's really cool and vegetarian like us.

Edward: She's vegan actually, and she's a real vegetarian. We're not. That's just a joke between us, Alice.

Alice: Edward, I can translate Japanese, I know what a real vegetarian is! Anyway, you need to follow her blog and tell her I sent you, because then I can win an arc of Linger!

Edward: But that book is about wolves! There's even a wolf named Sam! (Epic growl)

Alice: Come on, Maggie's an amazing writer and Frankie's awesome. She has really great shoes.

Edward: Fine...hang on...oh yeah I love this blog! I'm going to follow, though it may cause me pain...

Alice: YAY!

So now 1 entry is awarded to Edward and 2 entries go to Alice. But Edward wants more...

Edward: Bella, listen, if it doesn't vex you too greatly, I'd be most honored if you could--

Bella: Kiss me!

Edward: Hang on, I'm trying to tell you something. I'm trying to enter a contest and if you enter too I can get more entries.

Bella: If I follow Frankie's blog will you kiss me?

Edward: If you tell Frankie I sent you, and I'm well fed and not too excited, then yes.

Bella: Can we do it if we win the contest?

Edward: Not until we're married.

Bella: Fine...ooooh this book is about werewolves. Yay! I'm going to follow Frankie's blog. And her name will be so much easier to remember then Jessica's.

Edward:...

So Bella has 1 entry, Edward has 2, and now Alice has 3!

Hmmmmm you know what....because I love my followers so much--you all are so cool--if you're an old follower, I'll give an extra entry! Wheeee!

Alright now enter away. Contest ends at 11:59PM on March 2nd (My Birthday!). Good Luck!!

  5. Okay, i'm now following you & i retweeted the contest:)

    My favorite Maggie scene is actually the closing scene of Shiver when Grace turns around to, SURPRISE...Sam as a human. I cried.

    ReplyDelete
  6. My fav scene is when Sam leaves the note for Grace that has the Rilke poem on it and says "I wish I had written this for you"

  7. WANT!

    I can't believe you're willing to part with it--you're the best. I'm the most unlucky person on the planet, so I'm not planning on winning, but it doesn't hurt to try.

    So, my favorite Linger scene is the bathtub scene, just because that is some seriously amazing writing. (kinda makes me want to throw rocks at my own draft). And...um...I'm pretty sure I've already sent all my followers your way--given my blog war with you, but if I can scrounge up any I will try!

  8. Great contest! :) I'm dying to get my hands on Linger.

    My favorite scene is the very last in Shiver when Sam comes out of the woods. SaWOON!

  10. Hi! New follower here! Hard to choose a favourite scene - I was going to pick the candy store scene but another commenter reminded me how much I cried at the final bit of shiver!

    ReplyDelete
  11. My favorite scene from Shiver is the very end. I'm sure Grace thought she would never be with Sam as a human and when she saw him, I stopped breathing! I literary had to go back and re-read that scene over and over again because it was just beautiful! Can't wait to read Linger!

    ReplyDelete
  12. I'm an old follower. That is, I was already a follower, but of I'm not old. LoL!

    Next...favorite scene. OMG has to be the scene with Sam when he is working in the book store and spots Grace for the first time human. How Stiefvater describes the taste of summer just blew me away.(Shiver)

    I am putting the win grisgris on this because my most precious book possession is my signed ARC of Shiver...soooo a Linger ARC would just complete my collection and then I could die a very happy Maggie fangirl.

  29. Uhm, awesome prize.

    I loved the ending of Shiver, so I'm looking forward to Linger because I'm hoping it will capture a lot of what I saw at the end of Shiver. You were right, it has kind of stuck with me. My favorite scene is definitely the end, because I wasn't really sure if Sam was real or not and then he's there (I listened to it on CD, and hearing his voice was a very cool effect) and it's really just amazing.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Awesome contest! I'm so anxious to read Linger. I loved Shiver.

    While the candy shop scene is vivid and absolutely astounding, I think I really like the opening of the book and the way the same scene is told through both Sam and Grace.

    My favorite scene from Shiver has to be the scene with Sam and Grace's first kiss. I love Stiefvater's descriptions - I felt like I was right there and it was happening to me.

    ReplyDelete
  50. AAHHHHHHHHHH! Want to read Linger!

    Also, loves your illustration of the contest. Very nice dialogue. Especially love the Bella and Edward scene.

    Okay, my favorite scene in Shiver, because I haven't had a chance to read Lament and Ballad yet, was, oh gosh, there are sooo many!!!! However, I will be completely honest and say that my favorite part is when they make love. I adore how much love they have between them and I think that makes it such a beautiful and passionate scene.

  51. I am a new follower and AmyAnneS sent me to enter!

    Fav scene in Shiver...there are two. The candy store scene with the chocolate and the warmth....sigh.

  72. Oooh Linger! Kat wants so bad!

    My favorite scene is in Shiver when Grace lies to the nurse to get Sam out of the hospital. It's the first time they meet (as humans) and you can already tell they have a strong connection. I love it!

    Of course I am an older follower, so yay for that!

    I totally agree. My favorite scene is where James is on the phone with Dee and she's making fun of his kilt and he says, "Don't mock the kilt, woman." It totally made me fall in love with him. *dreamy sigh*

  82. Oh woops --forgot my fave scene!

    SPOILER ALERT



    Shiver at the very end when Sam breathes out and Grace finally notices him... Her reaction, as described by Sam... Oh man. *DIES* LOVE IT.

  83. Hey there, new follower here but this blog almost made me fall out of my chair laughing so I look forward to future blogs :)
    My favorite scene from Shiver is when Grace tells the candy shop girl that "it was love at first sight" and describes the look on Sam's face when he hears her say that. I'd love to win the ARC! Have a great day!

    My fav scene in SHIVER is the second book store scene. When Sam gets the poetry book and Grace waits on the couch.

    My fav scene in LAMENT is basically all the kissing scenes. >:D

    My fav scene in BALLAD is when Nuala finds the music notes on James's arm. V. sexy!

    ReplyDelete
  85. Favorite scene is when Sam and Grace are hanging out. When he's in human form and they can be together.

  86. My favorite scene in LINGER, are you mad?!

    Okay, I love when Sam and Grace visit the candy store in Duluth and he teaches her how to fully experience all the shop has to offer. It was so vivid.

    Also, the times they spend lingering at Grace's house, they feel so real to me. Their bodies intertwined and Sam reading, Grace daydreaming

  88. I can't pick an overall favorite part YET, since I'm in the middle of Shiver and it's the first book I've read by Maggie Stiefvater. But I like the part where Grace says that Sam smells the same as when he's a wolf. Or....Did she say his eyes? >_< Well, I like the parts about smell, I just think it's cool.

  91. Yay! I'm a new follower referred by Ninja Fanpire. I just finished Shiver this month and LOVED it. Off the top of my head, my fav scene from Shiver is when Sam takes Grace to the book store. Swoon. As a writer, reader and woman...swoon!

    Great contest. ; )

  92. My favorite scene is the end. No wait, it's when Grace burrows her hands in Sam's fur. Or, the dashboard kiss. Or... Do I really have to choose? :) I loved it all!
    And - Ninja Fanpire sent me over!

  93. Ahhh! Linger! People getting their hands on all these amazing ARC's lately have me absolutely drooling in envy. (Spirit Bound and Linger in particular!).

    I'm an old follower but I saw Anya (up above) tweet about this before I read your post. Sooo you can give her an extra entry if it counts ;)

    Goodness, my favourite scene?? Um, it's a tie. The bath scene with Sam in Shiver - it's done so well! And I just loved the candy shop scene - AWW!

    Thanks for a FANTASTIC giveaway!!

  100. Am following!! :)
    My favourite scene, as I am yet to find Ballad or Lament in NZ bookstores, is in Shiver and it's the end scene in which we discover all is not lost and a certain someone is standing there- which I won't say for fear of spoilers to those who may have not read yet, as well as the candy shop scene. That scene totally rocks everyone's socks, it appears :) I also agree with Monica when she says 'when Sam leaves the note for Grace that has the Rilke poem on it and says "I wish I had written this for you"'- How are we supposed to choose?! So many absolute 'awh' scenes. I think we all may need a Sam. Can that be your next contest? :D

    I will post this on my blog :)

    My favorite Maggie scene (I've read both Lament and Shiver so far) is probably...when Grace reunites with
    Sam at the end. So. Pretty.

    I love any scene with James... Ballad p. 121, with Dee, on the balcony, *kills me*.

    When I read Shiver again (soon) I will end up with a heckuva lot of tape flags marking favorite scenes.

  114. That scene was awesome! Thanks for the entertainment!! Haha!

    Without spoiling it, my favorite scene of Shiver was the last. I was tearing through the last pages to come to an ending that I wished I had been able to immediately go out and get the next book!

    I <3 Maggie!

  121. My favorite scene is from Lament.

    When Luke and Dierdre are walking out of the Sticky Pig. Dierdre catches Luke off guard and kisses him.

    "Caught of guard, Luke took a moment before he wrapped his arms around me and kissed back, his fingers crumpling my shirt. There was something honest and raw in our kisses; a gasp of fear or impending loss that we couldn't or wouldn't acknowledge in conscious thought. He held me tightly, lifting me off my feet and sitting me on the hood of the car so I wouldn't have to stand on my tiptoes to reach him, and I tasted the skin of his neck and his face and his lips until I had no more breath, and then linked my legs around him and kissed him some more." pages 224-225

    I love all of Maggie's books and make sure to recommend them to everyone I know.

    Thanks,
    Cari

  130. Well, Edward, Bella and Alice sent me, even though they don't need and extra votes because they probably have a trillion already.

    Favorite Maggie scene is in Lament when Dee finds out what Luke really is and she goes off on him...because, really, that's what you would do if you found out your boyfriend was a soulless fairy assassin, you know?

  131. Thanks for such an awesome contest! I just became a follower after following the link from The First Novels Club where I'm already a follower.

    I've read all of Maggie's novels, and my favorite scene is in LAMENT where Dee and Luke are eating at The Sticky Pig. She's thinking to herself about how their relationship would evolve if they were a normal couple - going to the state park, losing her virginity under the cover of fall leaves, etc. - but she realizes that none of that will ever happen.

  147. OK, so my last post went wacky. This is attempt #2.

    So hard to pick a favorite scene out of three fantastic books. It was hard to decide, b/c I love James so much, but then Sam and Grace just broke my heart. So I guess I have to go with the very last scene in Shiver. When he walks out of the woods and she's there & it's him, alive....oh the things to come!

    BTW, new follower here, found you on twitter :)

  148. Oh!I lov Shiver. I's love to win an ARC of Linger. So, my fave scene?

  153. Okay, I just became a follower but I haven't read any of her books. So it would be impossible to give you a favorite scene without cheating and I won't do that. So if I'm not eligible for the giveaway I understand. I would like to read her book though.
