The fab four winners are...
WOW! Thank you for the enthusiasm for this book. Instead of making me more scared, your comments just made me excited to share it. That and I'm 2/3 of the way reading through the first page proofs and feeling confident with it. Whew!
So who won? I wish all of you had! I was filled with admiration by your comments and willingness to share your fears. What lovely people. The four lucky, random winners are:
Kate Hamberlin
"I am excited to read another one of your books! Can't wait to get engrossed again!
I am scared that I haven't taught my children everything they need to know to leave my home and be out in the world. I have two children leaving home this summer to college. I am scared that someday they will regret not having what others had as children. I pray that I have done enough for them to help them gain success."
Christina (A Reader of Fictions)
"Oh my goodness! More Princess Academy!?!?! I had no idea this was coming! No idea at all, but I am the happiest right now!!!
Princess Academy and Goose Girl are among my favorite books of all time. You just made me day.
Winning an ARC would make my month at least!"
BooksforYAs
"I'm scared of not getting an ARC of this book to read?
Okay, I'm scared that my blog will never make me any money and I'll have to either start over with something completely different or go out and get a second job (again). Or try to publish something, which is a whole new level of scary in and of itself..."
Chanis
"Princess Academy is the first book of yours I fell in love with, so I'm smitten with the idea of another!
My bizarre, crippling fear is looking for jobs. Somehow, I can write the cover letter and even interview without too much angst, but searching through"
Winners, please email me at squeetus (at) g mail (dot) com, something in the subject line about being a giveaway winner. Also, tell me who you want me to sign your book to. Congratulations!
