This month, I have a super cool giveaway for you all. Guess who stopped by Cincinnati last week?
Seriously, guess!
Ok, ok. I’ll stop being annoying.
But, did you say Marissa Meyer, author of the fabulous January new release Cinder? Why, then you would be correct! Cincinnati was Marissa’s first stop after her launch party, and we got to hear all about November 2008 NaNo, when with the incentive of winning a walk-on role in Star Trek, Marissa wrote over 150,000 words and 2.5 novels in one month! Amazing, huh? The idea for Cinder was born and written during that NaNo, and though that original version was scrapped and rewritten, it was really cool to hear how long Cinder has been keeping Meyer company. Here’s a couple pics from the signing:
Sorry for the general cell phone crappiness of the photos. I forgot my camera camera at home. <smacks forehead> But my sister (Pictured above. Blog, meet Lauri. Lauri, meet blog.) saved the day and brought a point-and-shoot with her to the signing. She totally rocks, even though I’m not sure she’s still completely sold on the whole “cyborg Cinderella” concept. Seriously Lauri… it’s SO good. So good.
SOOOOO… anyway… the giveaway. Right. We were talking about the giveaway.
For ONE (1) lucky US/CAN follower, I have ONE (1) SIGNED hardcover of Cinder by Marissa Meyer. If the winner is international to the US, then I will order a copy of Cinder for them from The Book Depository.
[box] Humans and androids crowd the raucous streets of New Beijing. A deadly plague ravages the population. From space, a ruthless lunar people watch, waiting to make their move. No one knows that Earth’s fate hinges on one girl. . . .
Cinder, a gifted mechanic, is a cyborg. She’s a second-class citizen with a mysterious past, reviled by her stepmother and blamed for her stepsister’s illness. But when her life becomes intertwined with the handsome Prince Kai’s, she suddenly finds herself at the center of an intergalactic struggle, and a forbidden attraction. Caught between duty and freedom, loyalty and betrayal, she must uncover secrets about her past in order to protect her world’s future.[/box]

I read the ARC of this and loved it! The hardcover would look great on my bookshelf!
I can attest that it does indeed make a nice addition to one’s bookshelf. 😉 Thanks again for organizing this hop and good luck!!!
I didn’t know Cinder was a NaNo how awesome !
Yeah, I didn’t either! I thought that was a super cool factoid
Good luck Jess!
I really want to read Cinder, so thanks for the opportunity to win…
Thanks for following and entering Aleksandra! Good luck!
Thank you for the giveaway. I thought it was cool that it was what gave her a chance to get a walk-on role in Star Trek. 😀
She actually didn’t get the role.
She came in 3rd place by about 1,000 words she said. But even though she didn’t win the role, she said that getting a book deal kinda made up for it 😉 Thanks for following and entering!
Thanks a lot for the giveaway!
You’re so welcome! Thanks for following and good luck!
Thank you for the Giveaway!
Sure thing! Thanks for following and entering!
Ooooooooooh, awesome pick, thanks!!
I thought so 😉 lol. Have you read it yet? Good luck Darlene!
:'( No feedburner. What if I follow via GFC?
Hi Katherine! Here’s the direct link to Feedburner. http://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/mailverify?uri=RefractedLightReviews&loc=en_US
GFC is ok if there’s no other option, but I’m trying to switch over to Feedburner because GFC is being phased out starting in March.
Thanks for stopping by!
Thank goodness sis came through for you with the camera if not her reading taste. (-; Lucky you to meet Marissa!
Thanks for the giveaway opportunity.
I know! She’s a lifesaver… lol My sis is super awesome, and I know she’s gonna love it. Thanks s much for following and entering
I love that the inspiration for this story came while writing for the chance to be a walk-on role in Star Trek. Very awesome
I thought so too! I don’t consider myself a Trekkie, but since meeting my hubs, let’s just say I have a healthy appreciation for all things Gene Roddenberry. Thanks for following! Good luck!
How cool! I’m always so envious of people who get to go to author events…I’ve never been to one. Sounds (and looks) like a great time! Thanks for the awesome giveaway, I’ve been wanting to read this book ever since I first heard about it!
We’ve had a lot of fantastic authors come through Ohio in the last couple months! I only just started pay attention to that kind of thing, so I’m not exactly sure if these are rare occurrences or what, but I’m totally taking advantage of it while it lasts! lol You can usually find out if there’s anything in your area (or driving vicinity) on Goodread’s Event page. Thank you so much for following and entering! And good luck in the giveaway!
