It took me a few days to figure out what exactly I was going to do for this contest. I wish that I could give away tons of books, but alas, my book supply is limited. So, I thought I would do something a little different in terms of contests. I'm going to have a pre-order contest. I got the idea from Fantastic Book Review (so I should give her credit).
The Rules:
US & Canada only. I'm not really sure what the shipping is like from online bookstores...so we'll just play it safe.
There will be one winner (depending on the response to the contest), and that winner can tell me which book they would like me to pre-order for them. Once the book is released, it will get shipped directly to them.
Some Possible Books to Pre-Order
The Cupcake Queen by Heather Hepler
The Everafter by Amy Huntley
Betrayals by Lili St. Crow
The Dark Divine by Bree Despain
Gateway by Sharon Shinn
Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick
Tangled by Carolyn Mackler
Liar by Justine Larbalesteir

Awesome contest! If I win, I'd love to have a pre-order for Bran Hambric: The Farfield Curse by Kaleb Nation, although since that will be released by the end of this contest, if that doesn't count I'll go for Splendor by Anna Godbersen.

Hi Lizzy! Awesome contest. I love the lie thing. You don't need to enter me. I won in the last one and none of those books are ones that I'm particularly looking forward to except Liar, and i got a copy at ALA already. So, I'm just here to guess your lie. :) And to say congrats, of course!
So I'm guessing you don't play the flute. I'm really hoping you have a pet turtle named Teddy, because that just rocks. I love turtles. I want to get one.
Awesome Contest! I really like your +5 idea too, really cool!
