two weeks to go…

until WHAT HAPPENED TO GOODBYE is released! I realized this at about 1:30 this morning, when it hit me—with that sudden, Oh-my-God urgency you only feel at that hour, roused from sleep—how much I have left to do before I leave for book tour. YIKES! Today, though, I am choosing not to think about that. Why? Because I am in too much of a giving mood.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My publisher, Penguin, just sent me a couple of boxes of these awesome water bottles last week. So cute, right? But I can’t use them all myself (although I DO drink a ton of water. No joke, I’m like a camel or something.) Anyway, I’m going to give away 14 of them today—one for each day left until pub day!

To enter: leave a comment below. At 4pm EST today, I’ll pick the fourteen winners at random and notify them via email. Good luck!!

Have a good day, everyone!

    I can’t wait until What Happened to Goodbye? I read the teaser chapter in the back of Along for the Ride when I finally got the book (in paperback). Imagine my mood when after waiting since even before the release date of Along for the Ride and finally getting it this month…. I was pretty darn excited! Thank you for writing Auden and Eli, and especially Adam (I liked Adam) though I wish there were more moments between Auden and Eli. Or Adam and Maggie. Otherwise I was not disappointed :)

    I can’t wait to read What Happened to Goodbye, your books never disappoint. Also, I love following you on Twitter. I find your outlook on both life and the show Friday Night Lights to be very endearing!

    I am too late for the contest, but I just had to say that the water bottles are super cute… and SO true!!! :)

  22. Breeze says:

    Those are adorable. Two weeks….i cant wait! I own every single one of your books in both hardcover and paperback if they are sold in both. They have my messy handwriting written in every single one of them.

    I’m a consistent and obsessive reader and vivid writer and you are my absolute favorite author. You are so…. brilliant. And your characters come to live in away that is not fair. I hope i can still win.

  23. Tina says:

    I know I’m too late, just wanted to say that I love your books and have read every single one! Can’t wait for “What Happened to Goodbye,” I’ll see you in Long Island on the 23rd! Very excited to meet you in person, you are literally the reason I started reading YA…and I’m 27…just wish there were books like yours out there when I was in high school. Thanks for your awesomeness!
