Waiting on Wednesday + CONTEST!

I'm jumping on the super cool WoW trend, but in the spirit of the holidays, I wanted to make it a bit more fun with a contest!
.
So here's how this will work--below you'll find my WoW pick. All you have to do is comment (including your email) and follow my blog for a chance to win a pre-ordered copy. Not interested in this book? Then if you're the winner, you can choose any single book on Amazon to swap out for this one. Don't want a book? Then I'll offer a 10 page (or 1st chapter) critique to the winner. Simple, right? Now to my pick.
.
*************************************************************************
.
I love, love, loved DIVERGENT, so for my first ever WoW I decided to go with...
.
.
Title: INSURGENT
Author: Veronica Roth
Genre: YA Dystopian
What's it about, Fred?: (Pulled from Goodreads)
One choice can transform you—or it can destroy you. But every choice has consequences, and as unrest surges in the factions all around her, Tris Prior must continue trying to save those she loves—and herself—while grappling with haunting questions of grief and forgiveness, identity and loyalty, politics and love.
.
Tris's initiation day should have been marked by celebration and victory with her chosen faction; instead, the day ended with unspeakable horrors. War now looms as conflict between the factions and their ideologies grows. And in times of war, sides must be chosen, secrets will emerge, and choices will become even more irrevocable—and even more powerful. Transformed by her own decisions but also by haunting grief and guilt, radical new discoveries, and shifting relationships, Tris must fully embrace her Divergence, even if she does not know what she may lose by doing so.
.
**************************************************************************
.
And that's it. Sounds crazy awesome right? Now, all you have to do is comment and follow to get your pre-ordered copy (or other prize) for FREE! Yay! You have until Sunday, Dec. 18th to enter. I'll draw the name and post the winner here on Monday, Dec. 19th. For readers outside the U.S., if you enter and win we can work something out for either a digital book or Amazon/B&N giftcard. So all readers are welcome to enter!
.
Happy Holidays!

  11. OH, I LOVED Divergent too! And Four! lol. Can't wait for this one to hit the shelves now!
    I'm not participating because you don't say if it's international, and sending books my way is more expensive than you might have bargained for, LOL.
    I'll spread the word about your contest, though! :D
    And thanks so much for stopping by my blog the other day! It made me happy to see you there! :D
