Welcome to the
Bloggerhood
of the
Traveling Book!
Winter's Shadow Edition...
What is the Bloggerhood of the traveling book?
Glad you asked!!
Sometimes there is that book, that one beautiful book, that you can't wait to get your hands on...
You get all school girl Squee about it and then...
You realize that it isn't being release in your country:(
This makes us sad pandas here at Paranormal Wastelands:(((
Well we have the answer!!!!!
Whenever possible, if we get our hands on one of these much anticipated international booky wooks, we put it on tour!
We are all about sharing the love and it is SO much fun!
I know you have heard of The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants?
Well there is NO way a pair of pants would fit all of us!
Can you imagine all of us bloggers trying to wear the same pants?
That would be a bit claustrophobic! lolz
But a book on the other hand...that would work;)
So first let me introduce you to this amazing book!
Compliments of Pan Macmillan Australia...
All the way from Australia...
By M.J. Hearle
Synopsis borrowed from Goodreads:
Blake Duchamp...
He's all that Winter Adams can think of. Ever since their fateful meeting at Pilgrim's Lament. Ever since he looked at her with those emerald eyes. Ever since he saved her life.
But Blake isn't all that he seems. There is a strangeness about him, something dark and otherworldly. Something dangerous. In his attic is a secret he would kill to defend, but Winter seems to have a special ability to make him forget his duty. And he is her only protection against the gathering darkness.
The only problem is, to protect Winter, Blake must risk exposing her to an even greater danger. Himself.

I for one CAN'T wait to start reading this book!!
It sounds soooooo good:)
So what do you have to do to get a chance to read this awesome Aussie wonderment?
SIMPLE!!
Here are the rules:
1.) This is open for US residents primarily, however if there is a large demand for the book in the UK or Canada I will be willing to send it your way after the US tour!
(at the bottom of this post there will be a entry form for US and one for UK/Canada)
(You asked, we listened!! This tour is now open to Canada & Europe! See update below)
(You asked, we listened!! This tour is now open to Canada & Europe! See update below)
2.) Everyone will be responsible for the shipping cost to ship it to the next person on the list via United States Postal Service.
(This is why we are keeping it US bound at first to keep the cost of shipping down for all participants. If the book goes international I will ship it and pay for that myself)(Also it seems shipping cost is typically around $5 in the US)
3.) Each person will have 1 week to read the book before they pass it on to the next person. Once you are ready to pass it on please email me here: paranormalwasteland@gmail.com to receive the address for the next location!
(for privacy purposes I will not send a list around with all the address on it. Just email when your done for the next location and I will email that person to let them know it is on it's way!)
4.) Once you have written your review of the book please email me the link where the review can be seen. I will be passing this info on to the publisher once the tour is complete! I will also add your link to my review post so you'll get some blog traffic!
(i.e. link to your blog post, goodreads, library thing, amazon, barnes & noble..)
(Also not ness, but if you can mention in your review that M.J. Hearle is currently looking for a US publisher that would be nice. Who knows maybe a publisher will read your review and pick him up!)
5.) And last but not least...have some fun with! Before sending the book on it's way to the next person sign it! Put your name/blog title, and your location so we can see everywhere the book went in the end! It will be like a book passport;)
UPDATE!!
Ok so there seems to be some confusion. So first I would like to clear that up!
You do NOT have to have your own blog to participate in this event. All that we ask is that you have a Goodreads or Library Thing account, or a blog, or both! Just as long as you have an outlet to right your review and a send us a link to your review when your done. Easy Peasy. No Man left behind!
UPDATE # 2!!!
Due to the demand for this book by my Canadian wastelanders Winter's Shadow WILL be traveling to Canada! WOOT WOOT!! So far I haven't had anyone from Europe sign up but it's still open so please feel free. I am also trying to see if I can get my hands on another copy of the book due to the overwhelming amount over participants we have. If I can get a second copy I will start that one in Canada first thing, but in case I don't get another copy please be patient...it will come I promise;)
UPDATE # 3!!!!
I just spoke with the fantastic people at Pan Macmillan AU and the ARE sending me more copies for this event!! Which means soooo many great things. The greatest being that Winter's Shadow WILL be heading over to Europe. So all my fellow European wastelanders I hope to see ya on the tour sign up sheet, and I can't wait to see where all this book goes! (I've always wanted to go to Scotland, how cool would it be if Winter's Shadow got to go there!) Also having more copies available means it will get to you faster. As soon as they hit my mailbox I'm running them to the post office and sending them out!
And finally but certainly NOT least....everyone who participants in this even will automatically be entered for a chance to win a SIGNED copy of Winter's Shadow from M.J. Hearle! And when the time comes for the giveaway you can enter again...which means you will get double the chance to win!!
