So instead of chatting about writing this week, I'm indulging in one of my favorite things in the world: GIVING AWAY BOOKS! Anyone who comes over to my house knows that they will often walk away with a book whether they like it or not. Heck, I bought three copies of Scott Westerfeld's LEVIATHAN the other day just because I knew I'd be having 12 year old nephews visiting soon. I'm prepared, people!
And because the people in the blogosphere which I inhabit are some of the greatest people I know, I'm giving away some of my favorite reads this year. Are you ready for this wad of awesomeness, people?
In a fit of YA dystopian love, I'm giving away tasty ARCs of:
WITHER by Lauren DeStefano
POSSESSION by Elana Johnson
DROUGHT by Pam Bachorz
DIVERGENT by Veronica Roth
(click on the titles for Amazon page)
I KNOW, RIGHT? How much cooler could this list get??
So if you're hankering for a great YA dystopian read this spring, leave a comment on this post (with your email or twitter address, please! Tracking down winners iz HAWD) and I'll pick a winner on Saturday, April 24th.
However, I'm going to be out of country and away from internet for the next week, so I can't promote the contest. That's where you come in! Want to win TWO books? Three? Holy crap, all FOUR?! (Although to be honest, if you win all four, I'll assume you're making illegal sacrifices to the Random Number gods and you will be questioned.)
You know the drill, people!
+1 entry for a comment!
+1 for following the blog! (either new or old, no matter)

+3 for a blog mention!
+5 for taking a picture of yourself outside on a street corner with a giant sandwich board that says "Read ALLITERATIARCHIVES.BLOGSPOT.COM" (+5 extra for "THE END IS NEAR" on the back.)
Add up your points (I'm down with the honor system, no need to prove it. Except the sandwich board. I want pictures) and leave your name, email and number of entries in a comment below. YA dystopian love awaits you!
You guys rock. Happy Contesting! Happy Reading! Happy Spring! Happy Kitten Season! Happy Birthday James Franco (April 19th)!

Woot! We have POSSESSION already, but we are dying to get our hands on DIVERGENT and WITHER.
Also gonna tweet in a second here, and add to our blog's Contests & Giveaways list.
Thanks!! (And have a fun, safe trip!)
Yay for book giveaways! I follow your blog (new) and while I don't tweet, I'm posting this on my FB. :) So 2 points for me! I adored Wither but am anxiously awaiting reading the other three!
I have wither, but I'd like to read Divergent and Possession.
I might do a blog mention next week, but until then 1+ Follow and 1+Comment.

I have no twitter.
I would love any and all of these :) I have tweeted about your blog at @yawesome85 and started following you (which I meant to do a while ago). Also, if I do get one, I'll blog about it and let everyone know about the lovely people who gave me an ARC. Thanks!
hey, two abby's in a row. that's so much awesome!
speaking of awesome, this contest is made of it. as was your tweet, so i all i had to do was RT it. (evidence, here: http://bit.ly/hJzBiI)
DIVERGENT is my number one TBR. WITHER looks like something i might not enjoy, but there's been a lot of buzziness around it, so i have to admit, i'm intrigued.

You rock for spreading the Westerfeld awesomeness - have you seen his post on YAlit dystopias?

Hi. It's me.
I'm a little late in the game. But I heart books. And free stuff, too.
That is all.
What a wonderful haul! I'm excited and hopeful. Can't wait to read them all, regardless (especially Divergent)!
I've subscribed, tweeted* and commented so by my lousy math that equals 3!
