Impossible Contest

Lucy has nine months to break an ancient curse in order to save both herself and her unborn daughter.
Inspired by the ballad "Scarborough Fair", this riveting novel combines suspense, fantasy, and romance for an intensely page-turning and masterfully original tale.

Lucy is seventeen when she discovers that the women of her family have been cursed through the generations, forced to attempt three seemingly impossible tasks or to fall into madness upon their child's birth. But Lucy is the first girl who won't be alone as she tackles the list. She has her fiercely protective foster parents and her childhood friend Zach beside her. Do they have love and strength enough to overcome an age-old evil?

One winner will receive a copy of the new paperback edition of Impossible by Nancy Werlin (as seen in the picture).

I really enjoyed this book. It is very unique; I've never read anything quite like it before.

And the winner of Along for the Ride, chosen by random.org is.....

Alexandra!

Congratulations! I will send you an email shortly.


The next contest will be up later this week or next weekend at the latest. It will either be for Impossible by Nancy Werlin (paperback) or A Map of the Known World by Lisa Ann Sandell (hardback). If you have a preference of which you want first, let me know in the comments. There will be a contest for both eventually though, so it doesn't really matter. =)

Along for the Ride Contest

It’s been so long since Auden slept at night. Ever since her parents’ divorce—or since the fighting started. Now she has the chance to spend a carefree summer with her dad and his new family in the charming beach town where they live. A job in a clothes boutique introduces Auden to the world of girls: their talk, their friendship, their crushes. She missed out on all that, too busy being the perfect daughter to her demanding mother. Then she meets Eli, an intriguing loner and a fellow insomniac who becomes her guide to the nocturnal world of the town. Together they embark on parallel quests: for Auden, to experience the carefree teenage life she’s been denied; for Eli, to come to terms with the guilt he feels for the death of a friend.


One winner will receive a copy of Along for the Ride by Sarah Dessen. It's a wonderful book; I really enjoyed it.
