Welcome to Day 4 (sadly, the last day!) of our Blog Party honoring all the people who made 1,000,000 visits possible! The giveaways run 6/8/13, 6/9/13, 6/15/13 and 6/16/13. Be sure to visit each day separately! I’ll announce the winners on 6/22/13.
There are prize packs on each day for Young Adult readers (scroll down), and also prize packs for writers. Scroll down to see them all, and please, take the time to read about the amazing people I want to honor. There wasn’t room for everyone individually. Most importantly, none of this would be possible without the support of the authors who so generously share their books, their time, and their writing talent to bring you giveaways and guest posts every week. It wouldn’t be possible without the publishers who send us ARCS and finished copies to share with you.
I do want to give an extra shout-out to Jan Lewis, though. I mentioned her in the first post, but I can’t possibly thank her enough for all she does!
Happy reading (and writing),
Martina
Prize Pack 27: Clara’s Picks
I first met Clara Kensie at one of the first workshoppy things I did here on the blog, and she was awesome. So awesome that we have been friends and critique partners ever since. After a stint sharing the hunt for great articles for the This Week for Writer’s Posts, she took time off to focus on her wonderful book. Naturally, she nailed that the way she nails everything else. Now she’s back with us for the Sunday Question of the Week series. Yay!
Clara writes twisty mysteries and chilling thrillers, she’s juggling more things than any two people ought to have thrown at them.

What’s your favorite way to celebrate a success, Clara?
I’m not ticker-tape parade, big-crazy-party type of person (at big crazy parties, you’ll most likely find me hiding in the host’s laundry room, playing with the cat). To celebrate a big success, I like to hang out at home with my family or a small group of close friends and eat carryout while watching a movie. Is that boring? Yeah, that sounds boring. Okay, fine. I’ll tell you a secret: once I’m alone, I squee and do this. About two dozen times.
Muppet-flailing aside, writers experience many more rejections and defeats than successes. That’s why I celebrate every single good thing that happens to me. With a Sharpie, I note every success, big or small, on a cork from a wine bottle. Some of my corks say: Finished draft of X manuscript! Attended X writers’ conference! Sent first query letter! Full request from agent X! Signed with an agent, ohmygod wheeeee! I keep them on my mantle where I can see them every time I’m in the room. At first all I had was a loose handful of corks. Now my corks fill a large wine glass. Soon I will have to buy a vase to hold all my corks (that’s on my to-do list for this week, as a matter of fact). When that’s filled, I’ll get a bigger vase, and then a bigger one. My cork collection is constant inspiration and it’s how I celebrate every single success.
What do you think makes young adult books special for writers and for readers?
Being a teenager is wonderful. And horrible. Teens are discovering who they are, and they still have time to become who they want to be. Teens make mistakes. Teens hold their futures in the palms of their hands. Teens have so many choices to make. And all the firsts: first crushes, first kisses, first loves, first breakups. Emotions run deeper. Hearts break harder.
Teens have this combination of bravery, vulnerability, cynicism, ambition, rage, and hope that just isn’t found in people of any other age.
Dystopian, historical, romance, paranormal, thriller: the genre doesn’t matter. What makes YA Lit unique and special are the teen protagonists and their unique inner journeys. That’s why I read and write YA.

Daisy Fay and the Miracle Man
by Fanny Flagg
Giveaway
Ballantine Books
In Fannie Flagg’s high-spirited first novel, we meet Daisy Fay Harper in the spring of 1952, where she’s “not doing much except sitting around waiting for the sixth grade.” When she leaves Shell Beach, Mississippi, in September 1959, she is packed up and ready for the Miss America Pageant, vowing “I won’t come back until I’m somebody.” But in our hearts she already is.
Sassy and irreverent from the get-go, Daisy Fay takes us on a rollicking journey through her formative years on the Gulf Coast of Mississippi. There, at The End of the Road of the South, the family malt shop freezer holds unspeakable things, society maven Mrs. Dot hosts Junior Debutante meetings and shares inspired thoughts for the week (such as “sincerity is as valuable as radium”), and Daisy Fay’s Daddy hatches a quick-cash scheme that involves resurrecting his daughter from the dead in a carefully orchestrated miracle. Along the way, Daisy Fay does a lot of growing up, emerging as one of the most hilarious, appealing, and prized characters in modern fiction.

Prize Pack 28: Cyn’s Picks
So I did. The book was TANTALIZE by New York Times and Publisher’s Weekly best-selling author Cynthia Leitich Smith, who writes both for young adults and younger children. I read it, and then I read the rest of her series, and the FERAL series, and then I read every book for young adults I could get my hands on. And I haven’t stopped reading or writing YA since. I owe that to Cyn. Corresponding with her for the first time, I lapsed into gawky fangirldom, and I still get a thrill every time. She’s my inspiration for undertaking this incredible journey that I’m on.If you haven’t met her yet, stop by her website at www.cynthialeitichsmith.com. It was named one of the top 10 Writer Sites on the Internet by Writer’s Digest and an ALA Great Website for Kids. Her Cynsations blog at cynthialeitichsmith.blogspot.com/ was listed as among the top two read by the children’s/YA publishing community in the SCBWI “To Market” column.

What’s your favorite way to celebrate success, Cyn?
I’m a creature of two minds. Part of me wants to throw a huge, joyful party for my friends — lots of book-themed books, music and decorations. Part of me wants to sit in a rocking chair on the front porch of a country B&B, sip an icy tea and appreciate the view, wherever I may be.
What do you think makes young adult books special for writers and for readers?
YA literature celebrates the cusp of young people turning into the heroes they’re meant to be. And I mean that literally. We’re all the heroes of our own story and the process of reaching the precipice of adulthood is as fascinating as it is inspiring.

Blood and Chocolate
by Annette Curtis Klause
Giveaway
Ember
Vivian Gandillon relishes the change, the sweet, fierce ache that carries her from girl to wolf. At sixteen, she is beautiful and strong, and all the young wolves are on her tail. But Vivian still grieves for her dead father; her pack remains leaderless and in disarray, and she feels lost in the suburbs of Maryland. She longs for a normal life. But what is normal for a werewolf?
Then Vivian falls in love with a human, a meat-boy. Aiden is kind and gentle, a welcome relief from the squabbling pack. He’s fascinated by magic, and Vivian longs to reveal herself to him. Surely he would understand her and delight in the wonder of her dual nature, not fear her as an ordinary human would.
Vivian’s divided loyalties are strained further when a brutal murder threatens to expose the pack. Moving between two worlds, she does not seem to belong in either. What is she really–human or beast? Which tastes sweeter–blood or chocolate?

Prize Pack 29: Georgia’s Picks
When I didn’t know anything about anything, one of the GREAT things I did was eavesdrop on the #yalitchat events on Twitter. Watching the tweets fly by was exhilarating and scary and mind-blowingly confusing, but eventually I discovered TweetChat and that helped. I lurk whenever I can because I love the interaction between new writers, established authors, agents, and editors. It’s wonderful, and it’s the brainchild of Georgia McBride. Georgia is not only a writer, and the founder of YALitchat.Org, which has grown into a whole non-profit organization to further young adult literature, writers, she is also the publisher of Month9Books and Swoon Romance. Her debut YA novel, PRAEFATIO is out now!What’s your favorite way to celebrate a success, Georgia?

What do you think makes young adult books special for writers and for readers?
YA mimics the time in one’s life when the world is alive and ripe with opportunity and when everything one feels is the best, worst or most intense emotion ever. It’s a time when anything is possible and everything is doable. We are invincible. We are YA.

On Writing

Prize Pack 30: Lorin’s Picks
Last year, I decided I needed to make a leap forward in my writing skills to be able to pull off a tough revision. I’ve been a member of SCBWI for three years, and I was going to conferences, which are excellent. But I wanted something really immersive and transforming. A writing friend recommended the Your Best Book workshop. It was the best decision EVER. She’s an award-winning writer in her own right, and Lorin Oberweger’s students and clients have millions of books in print and have been published by imprints of HarperCollins, Random House, Penguin, Scholastic, and other mainstream and independent presses. They have also gained representation with some of the industry’s leading literary agents. She and the workshop team, including lovely Brenda Windberg, wonderful Emma Dryden, the amazing team of Josh and Tracy Adams, the incredible YA Muses, and every one of the workshop participants, were teachers, cheerleaders, and butt-kickers. I came out of that week with a whole new arsenal of writing tools.
And if that wasn’t enough, which it TOTALLY was, Lorin has offered up a phenomenal opportunity for a lucky writer to win a registration to the STORY MASTERS workshop with Donald Maass, James Scott Bell, and Christopher Vogler.

How do you celebrate a success, Lorin?
How do I celebrate a success? My own, or my clients’? In the case of the latter, I celebrate by spreading their good fortune far and wide and taking time to honor the faith and commitment that go into each and every moment of writing. Where my own successes are concerned, I’m pretty low-key in celebrating. (I think this is a Jewish thing about not getting too far ahead of oneself or daring the universe to come and institute a reversal of good fortune.) At best, I usually celebrate with a few triumphant phone calls, a little daydreaming, and a taking stock of all the OTHER work I have to do.
What do you think makes young adult books special for writers and for readers?
In some ways, I feel that our adolescent selves stay with us for our entire lives. Deep within, we still carry the longings, the insecurities, the desires, and also the brilliant, unfettered capacity for dreaming. We grow coping mechanisms and, one hopes, greater reserves of security and self-confidence, but that thrumming tender heart continues to beat within us all. I truly believe that.
So, young adult literature taps into that place within us, a place we’re smart to nurture. And it also offers the ability to live–or relive–so many of life’s juicy firsts: first love; first kiss (and then some); first forays into independence; first tests of ability and competence. It offers, for adult readers and authors, a place in which we can be both nostalgic and inspired at the same time.

Prize Pack 31: YA Highway’s Picks for Writers
One of the first YA group blogs I discovered was YA Highway, and it has remained one of my favorite blogs. The writers on the blog come from different corners of the globe, and they epitomize what I think is a huge part of young adult literature, the ability to explore, to push boundaries, to bridge divides, to fly and soar. These women do, in their books and in their lives. They’re inspiring. And a little frightening. 🙂

St. Martin’s Griffin
Released 6/12/2013
When you’ve been kept caged in the dark, it’s impossible to see the forest for the trees. It’s impossible to see anything, really. Not without bars . . .
Andrew Winston Winters is at war with himself.
He’s part Win, the lonely teenager exiled to a remote Vermont boarding school in the wake of a family tragedy. The guy who shuts all his classmates out, no matter the cost.
He’s part Drew, the angry young boy with violent impulses that control him. The boy who spent a fateful, long-ago summer with his brother and teenage cousins, only to endure a secret so monstrous it led three children to do the unthinkable.
Over the course of one night, while stuck at a party deep in the New England woods, Andrew battles both the pain of his past and the isolation of his present.
Before the sun rises, he’ll either surrender his sanity to the wild darkness inside his mind or make peace with the most elemental of truths—that choosing to live can mean so much more than not dying.

Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life
by Anne Lamott
Giveaway
Anchor; 1 edition
Released 6/15/2013
“Thirty years ago my older brother, who was ten years old at the time, was trying to get a report on birds written that he’d had three months to write. [It] was due the next day. We were out at our family cabin in Bolinas, and he was at the kitchen table close to tears, surrounded by binder paper and pencils and unopened books on birds, immobilized by the hugeness of the task ahead. Then my father sat down beside him, put his arm around my brother’s shoulder, and said. ‘Bird by bird, buddy. Just take it bird by bird.'”
With this basic instruction always in mind, Anne Lamott returns to offer us a new gift: a step-by-step guide on how to write and on how to manage the writer’s life. From “Getting Started,’ with “Short Assignments,” through “Shitty First Drafts,” “Character,” “Plot,” “Dialogue.” all the way from “False Starts” to “How Do You Know When You’re Done?” Lamott encourages, instructs, and inspires. She discusses “Writers Block,” “Writing Groups,” and “Publication.” Bracingly honest, she is also one of the funniest people alive.
If you have ever wondered what it takes to be a writer, what it means to be a writer, what the contents of your school lunches said about what your parents were really like, this book is for you. From faith, love, and grace to pain, jealousy, and fear, Lamott insists that you keep your eyes open, and then shows you how to survive. And always, from the life of the artist she turns to the art of life.

A nuanced novel in verse that explores identity in a multicultural world.
Emma Karas was raised in Japan; it’s the country she calls home. But when her mother is diagnosed with breast cancer, Emma’s family moves to a town outside Lowell, Massachusetts, to stay with Emma’s grandmother while her mom undergoes treatment.
Emma feels out of place in the United States.She begins to have migraines, and longs to be back in Japan. At her grandmother’s urging, she volunteers in a long-term care center to help Zena, a patient with locked-in syndrome, write down her poems. There, Emma meets Samnang, another volunteer, who assists elderly Cambodian refugees. Weekly visits to the care center, Zena’s poems, dance, and noodle soup bring Emma and Samnang closer, until Emma must make a painful choice: stay in Massachusetts, or return home early to Japan.
“With beautiful language and deep sensitivity, Holly Thompson explores the courage it takes to find your own voice.” —Patricia McCormick, author of National Book Award finalist Never Fall Down
“Thompson, working in a free-verse style that becomes a seamless piece of a world imbued with poetry, weaves [the plot strands] together skillfully. The result is a touching portrait of Emma working through loss and opportunity as Lowell becomes not just “not-Japan,” but the site of new connections and a possible romance.”—

The Beautiful and the Cursed

Hardcover Giveaway
Delacorte Press
Released 5/14/2013
After a bizarre accident, Ingrid Waverly is forced to leave London with her mother and younger sister, Gabby, trading a world full of fancy dresses and society events for the unfamiliar city of Paris.
In Paris there are no grand balls or glittering parties, and, disturbingly, the house Ingrid’s twin brother, Grayson, found for them isn’t a house at all. It’s an abandoned abbey, its roof lined with stone gargoyles that could almost be mistaken for living, breathing creatures.
And Grayson has gone missing.
No one seems to know of his whereabouts but Luc, a devastatingly handsome servant at their new home.
Ingrid is sure her twin isn’t dead—she can feel it deep in her soul—but she knows he’s in grave danger. It will be up to her and Gabby to navigate the twisted path to Grayson, a path that will lead Ingrid on a discovery of dark secrets and otherworldly truths. And she’ll learn that once they are uncovered, they can never again be buried.

Doomed
by Tracy Deebs
Hardcover Giveaway
Walker Childrens
Released 1/8/2013
Author Question: What is your favorite thing about Doomed?
his is actually a hard question for me to answer simply because I both really love and really hate this book. Doomed was the hardest book I’ve ever written (and I’ve written 27) and I cursed it every day I was writing it– and every day for six months after it was done. But it’s also the book I am most proud of. If I have to choose one thing that I love about the book now that it’s finished, it’s my three main characters. I think Pandora is a kick-ass female heroine who is trying to do her best to undo her mistakes even as the world falls apart around her. Theo and Eli, who are my modern day take on the Titans Prometheus and Epimetheus, are also really strong in the face of continuing adversity. Both play a huge part in the Pandora myth and in Doomed. It was a challenge to capture their personalities for 2012 as depicted in the myths about them, but I’m really pleased with how they turned out (especially Theo, who I think is an awesome YA hero). I really hope my readers agree 🙂
