Winning Wednesday!

Every once in a while I acquire some cool stuff - like Bree Tanner bookmarks - which I like to pass along to you guys. Today I've got a Sisters Red (just released last month) exclusive preview booklet which not only is the first chapter of the book but also includes some cool temporary tattoos - pretty images of the sisters, a bird, arrow, etc.

Becca Fitzpatrick, author of Hush, Hush calls it "the best book I've read this year" and Carrie Ryan (Forest of Hands and Teeth) also enjoyed it, saying it was "a captivating blend of sisterly devotion, new love, old secrets, and a vicious enemy that threatens to rip everything apart"

If you're into fractured fairy tales (think Beastly or Ash), this might be a book for you.

Comment with first name and branch by Monday to receive a first chapter (not the whole book, sorry!) exclusive! First twelve are the lucky winners.

Sisters Red is an amazing book by Jackson Pearce!!! I love how it's a modern twist on Little Red Riding Hood but with so much more than the fairy tale we grew up with!!! - Sarah, Bookmobile (If I've read the book does that mean I can't be in the draw???)

Kat said...

Sarah, you're totally eligible. I'll drop one by bookmobile Monday so it should be available next week on whichever day your stop is.

(And I'm on hold for Sisters Red and can't wait to read it too!)

Hey Kat! Okay so currently im volunteering at the McQueston Centre that the bookmobiles go to. I am trying to get other kids to get more interested in reading during the summer. I think it would be great if I could get the chance to get a book like this to further show how reading is as fun as I try to make it to be!

Kat said...

sorry Sarah, I thought I replied to this! I can definitely hang onto it until you get back from your holidays!

Symone, that's awesome. Thanks for all your hard work volunteering! \o/

Everyone else, I hope you enjoy the preview! I'll throw them in the mailbag Monday.

Sarah said...

Thanks Kat!!! Sorry I'm being so annoying by continuously commenting on this page!!! I'm at the Greencedar bookmobile stop, if that helps. Thanks again!!!:):):)

Meaghan said...

I forgot to mention, I will also be away on Monday, could you hold on to my prize pack also?

Kat said...

No worries about holding onto prizes. Have realized that I won't be in on Monday anyway and so will be mailing prizes out on Tuesday, so it may be closer to Thursday or Friday before they're available, depending on the branch. You can always call ahead and ask though.

I'll be asking staff to put the prizes with their book 12 prizes, so you can pick them up where you'd normally pick up summer reading prizes.
