Contest: The Unwritten Rule

The Unwritten Rule by Elizabeth Scott

16th March 2010 | Simon Pulse

Everyone knows the unwritten rule: You don't like your best friend's boyfriend. 

Sarah has had a crush on Ryan for years. He's easy to talk to, supersmart, and totally gets her. Lately it even seems like he's paying extra attention to her. Everything would be perfect except for two things: Ryan is Brianna's boyfriend, and Brianna is Sarah's best friend. 

Sarah forces herself to avoid Ryan and tries to convince herself not to like him. She feels so guilty for wanting him, and the last thing she wants is to hurt her best friend. But when she's thrown together with Ryan one night, something happens. It's wonderful...and awful. 

Sarah is torn apart by guilt, but what she feels is nothing short of addiction, and she can't stop herself from wanting more...

One winner will receive a copy of The Unwritten Rule by leaving a comment below before June 10th. Open Internationally. VIEW ALL CONTESTS.

New Covers #3

From the moment a summary is released, I am excited but the overview coming to life in  a cover is a whole different experience and from that point on I know whether this will be a hit or miss for me (on the odd occasion it doesn't receive a few bad reviews!) So here are a couple of covers I'm keeping my eye on...

The Ivy | Unraveled

Elixir | Meanicures

Matched | Freak Observer

Contest: Sorta Like a Rock Star

Sorta Like a Rock Star by Matthew Quick

1st May 2010 | Little, Brown

Amber Appleton lives in a bus. Ever since her mom's boyfriend kicked them out, Amber, her mom, and her totally loyal dog, Bobby Big Boy (aka Thrice B) have been camped out in the back of Hello Yellow (the school bus her mom drives). Still, Amber, the self-proclaimed princess of hope and girl of unyielding optimism, refuses to sweat the bad stuff. But when a fatal tragedy threatens Amber's optimism--and her way of life, can Amber continue to be the rock star of hope?

With an oddball cast of characters, and a heartwarming, inspiring story, this novel unveils a beautifully beaten-up world of laughs, loyalty, and hard-earned hope. The world is Amber's stage, and Amber is, well...she's sorta like a rock star. True? True.

Five U.S residents will each receive a copy of Sorta Like a Rock Star by leaving a comment below before June 9th. VIEW ALL CONTESTS.
