My first YABC review!

Yay! My first YABC review has been posted (by Brenda, who was one of the ARC winners). And she liked it! Double Yay!

I’m just excited to have my first review of my book on my website. :-) Can you tell?

And in writing news…I had a little epiphany this morning on a new way to open up the second novel that will tie it better to the first one. The opening was okay before, but I think this will make it better :-) And I’ve been modifying the outline…had some new thoughts, especially about George…he wasn’t in the original outline enough and I really like him, especially his sense of humor. So I’m happy about that.

Win an Advance Copy of Sucks to Be Me!

NOTE: This Giveaway has Ended! Please check the most recent blog posts for any current giveaways and special promotions!

I’ve got a few ARCs (advance reader copies) of Sucks to Be Me (courtesy my editor – thanks Nina!) and I’d like to give one some (my publisher sent me more!) away now (more giveaways of the final hardcover are planned later on, mostly around the release date….so stay tuned on that) to generate just a little wee bit of early buzz (hey, I’m honest…as a book reviewer, I know how important buzz can be).

(And yes, I do realize that the paragraph above had way too many parenthetical inserts in it…I just couldn’t help myself.)

So I’m going to ask that the winner submit at least two reviews of my book after reading it (and hopefully loving it!): one to Amazon and one to YA Books Central. A book just looks lonely up there on the big ‘ol Internet without any reviews. And, of course, you can always post your review at other places. ;-)

To enter, email me at kim@kimberlypauley.com and include the following:

  • Your name
  • Age (if under 13, I’ll need a parent’s permission to award you the prize)
  • Why you’d like to read Sucks to Be Me

This giveaway will end on April 15, 2008, with the winner to be announced soon thereafter (barring any baby-craziness going on in my life). Good luck! And thanks for your interest and support. :-)

UPDATE: Looks like I’ll be giving away about 8 copies! So be sure to get your entry in and spread the word!
