Hey y'all.
I have an announcement. AN ANNOUNCEMENT!
Ahem: EVERNEATH will now be released January 24th, 2012.
A few of you may have noticed the change on Mr. Widgy (on the sidebar) and I've had a couple people ask me about it, but I haven't had the all-clear to announce it officially until today.
If you have Mr. Widgy on your own website, you'll notice they all automatically changed.
The business reasons for the change are awesome! But I can't really go into them, except to say it means some bookstores are really excited about EVERNEATH. Not to be all cryptic or anything.

And personally, I am looking forward to having a little more space between the holidays and my book launch.
But it's always hard to wait. My editor ended her enthusiastic email with, "... and it's only three weeks later!"
And on the outside, I was all, "That's nothing!"
But on the inside, I was all, "Do you know what could happen in three weeks? My nails could grow a quarter-inch! I could learn a new Zumba dance routine! The world could end!"
Although in reality, none of those things will probably happen, because three weeks is not very long, and I own a good pair of nail clippers.
Now, on to the celebration, because we have officially passed the three-month mark! Again! And to make up for that cryptic "The reasons are awesome, but I can't talk about them" statement (because I really hate it when people do that) I am giving away an ARC of EVERNEATH.
Did you hear me? I'm giving away an ARC! From my own personal stash.
To enter, simply leave me a comment in this post. One entry per person. No other hoops to jump through.
So, be all, "Yay!" with me!
YAY! I have to admit, I'm a bit bummed the release date was pushed back, but still, I CAN'T wait to read it!
ReplyDeleteOh yea! Please count me in!

I've heard good things, so of course I want a copy! :)

Yay, still awesome! Ooh, now EVERNEATH is released on my sister's birthday! Guess what I'm doing on her birthday??? (Sorry, sis) :P
ReplyDeletejadedlittlegirlx AT gmail DOT com
Oh great!!! I hope it's international! In this case, I participate!!!
ReplyDeleteI would la-la-la-love to read Everneath early! Harper Collins has such a knack for picking out awesome stories to publish and I'm sure I'll enjoy yours. :)
ReplyDeleteangelidgcruz@gmail.com
A little sad that we don't get it as soon as possible, but glad it'll be easier for you for the extra time in between holidays and your book release! dying to read EVERNEATH, though! it sounds so, so good. :)
ReplyDeleteTotally all YAY! with you. Waiting three eternal weeks for a happy, awesome reason will be worth it. (So, yay!)
ReplyDeleteThat has to make you feel extra special that bookstores are getting excited about Everneath. I think that'd qualify as a squeee moment.
ReplyDeleteNo pressure on you, of course.
3 weeks is definitely not that long, especially if it's for awesome (if cryptic) reasons!! Either way I'm psyched for Everneath! Thanks for the giveaway :0)
ReplyDeletethebooklife@yahoo.com
Thanks for the giveaway! Have heard loads of awesome things about Everneath and it looks like a fabulous read!
ReplyDelete(please enter me only if this is international, by the way :D)
Yay! I am super excited for this book, and can't wait to read it. Thank for having a giveaway. I would be psyched to get an ARC of this.
ReplyDeletealf421.af@gmail.com
Good luck on your book launch (doesn't sound like you need it!!!) ;) Congrats! How exciting! Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway! Can't wait to read Everneath and would love to get an ARC!

Man! Three more Weeks?! Sigh, I keep hearing all this good stuff from those lucky enough to have read it already, and I have to keep waiting and waiting. :'(
ReplyDeleteCome on! You know that apostrophe tear on my sad face pulled a heart string. ;)
ah man. three more weeks to wait?!?! darn. HOWEVER, YAY FOR MORE BOOKSTORES BEING EXCITED ABOUT EVERNEATH. I'M GLAD THEY GOT MY MEMO.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway! I can't wait to read Everneath!

Thank you! :)

Oh my! I want that ARC so bad! ladyglamis@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteWhen they change the date because bookstores are excited, that's a REALLY GOOD THING. And I say that as a bookseller. The more excited the booksellers get about something, the more we talk about it. Even to people who probably aren't interested, until we've talked about it so much they buy it just to shut us up and then find out they're really interested after all.
ReplyDeleteSo everyone wins. :D
Cheers~

Ooh, cryptic! I'm excited that the bookstores are excited! I can't wait to learn why.
ReplyDeleteAw man now it's not close to my birthday:( oh well I'm still excited!! It'll be awesome:)
ReplyDeleteYeah! I'm glad bookstores are getting excited. That's great! I can't wait to read it.
ReplyDeleteSo excited for Everneath, it sounds amazing (and looks great too!) :D It's definitely one of the books I'm looking forward to seeing around, at the start of the new year!

ReplyDeleteso i'm entering--you don't need my email--you know where i live!
I'm a little sad that the release date is three weeks later because I'll have to wait longer for book 2 now. But, I'm super EXCITED for all the awesome good reasons for the delay in release date and I'll trust your agent and you with those reasons! :)
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't mind an ARC since I absolutely ADORE your book. So, add me into the pool. me(at)jennielyse(dot)com
I am so so so excited for Everneath. I knew I just had to have this book when Goodreads recommended it to me. The story sounds so good and I cannot wait to get my hands on it. *hopes to win*

YAY!!! I am SO excited to read your book !! Thank you so much for this giveaway,Brodi !!! I am dying to read Everneath !!!
ReplyDeletestarlight023(at)hotmail(dot)com
I'm so excited to read Everneath! I'm actually glad that the date has been moved because I can recover from the holidays before attending your launch party. (I'm assuming you're having one)
ReplyDeleteamyolsen1 at gmail
I'm so excited to read this. After I added it to my goodreads list, a friend of mine said her sister read an ARC and ranted and raved about how amazing it is. Can't wait.
ReplyDeleteI would love a copy! In fact, I would probably even do the chicken dance in public to get a copy. Luckily for everyone, I don't think that's a requirement...
ReplyDeletemisskayla(dot)lib(at)gmail(dot)com
You know, the first thing I thought was that the farther from Christmas your launch party is, the more copies of Everneath I can buy and give away. LOL
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway :) I am looking forward to reading Everneath.

This makes me laugh, its only 3 weeks. Ha, try telling that to a pregnant lady, almost done.
ReplyDeleteGood luck on surviving those 3 extra weeks!
roberkann@gmail.com
Ooooh, fingers crossed!
ReplyDeleteI'm torn between excitement (more EVERNEATH promotion = good) and sadness (3 more weeks = bad). I'm sure my own ARC will make me feel better. ;)
ReplyDeleteOh, and my EVERNEATH review is up today. I go a little fangirl. Couldn't be helped.
I hate to be a glutton--but I would love to have a copy of my own! Plus, you are making me wait three more weeks!
ReplyDeleteOh, pick me pick me! My email address is: carolinetrichmond at gmail dot com.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad bookstores are super excited for the book--I know I am!! (Although, I'm a tad sad that I have to wait longer to buy it!) I would love to have a copy of Everneath sooner than my birthday (which is 2 days after the new release date). :)
ReplyDeletereadinginthecorner (at) gmail
Sorry you have to wait longer, but yay for whatever good reasons those are.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'd love an ARC!
I've heard so many great things about Everneath!
ReplyDeleteSeattlelover7@aim.com
YAY for giveaways! Bummer for it being released later, but it sounds like there is a good reason for it. :D
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited for your book, heard wonderful things about it.
ReplyDeleteThree weeks isn't too bad, and we will all be here to help the time pass =]

ReplyDeleteI can't wait!!! I think I would be biting my nails off too but still it's not really that long.

While it's true that waiting sucks, it's easier to endure when there's something to look forward to at the end :)
ReplyDeleteI love when you authors give away ARCs! It's like an overly excited parent at Christmas, giving the presents early because they just can't wait any longer to share the awesomeness, lol! And while I'm bummed the release got pushed back, at least I won't get in trouble with the Husband for ditching him for his birthday to come to your release party! ;)

ReplyDeleteHOORAY! It's coming out much sooner than I thought. That's BRILLIANT. I thought I had to wait for agessss. *happy dance*
ReplyDeleteYay! I wants it.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to hear the cryptic news!
ReplyDeleteI read Robin's review, and your books sounds wonderful, and the cover is to die for!
ReplyDeleteI would love the chance to read Everneath! It sounds incredible!

ReplyDeleteTo commemorate this momentous occasion, I have stopped procrastinating on something I've been meaning to do ever since I saw your widget. I've added it to my blog. So now, I can countdown and laugh like a hyena when I read your posts here, OR, I can countdown and make funny faces at my own blog posts. Either way, I'm keeping up with the date! YAY!!!!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, don't know what this awesome, super duper secret reason is or reasons are - is there a grammatically correct way to say that at all? - but, Everneath shall be here soon. And we shall all have a wonderful day reading and making merry.

ReplyDeletethree weeks more might torture excited readers...but maybe the anticipation can fuel the excitement even more! if i could get the arc it would be so meuch better..heee
I really can't wait for this book it's been on my wishlist it seems for forever.

As much as I don't want to wait, the new release date gives me another paycheck (or two, I haven't counted) between the holidays and the release, which means my bank account will have more recovery time. Thanks for the giveaway!

Woo-hoo! for awesome secret reasons for delays. Bummer that we have to wait three whole weeks...do you know how many times I could pull a muscle or get a debilitating cramp at the gym in three weeks? And if we have to do cart wheels in boot camp class that number like quadruples...I was not built to tumble. I was more not built to cart wheel. Even the instructor laughs when I try and she's paid not to (fortunately we're friends, so it's not a big deal...until I pull something. Then it hurts a lot.).
ReplyDeleteOh and, woo-hoo for a contest!

Oh, rats. I'm the 120th commenter. Do I still have a chance to win an ARC? I'm excited for the undisclosed reasons for the delay, excited that the bookstores are excited about your book--yay!--excited to finally read your book, but even more excited about the possibility of reading Everneath early :) Also, I'd love to give my kid a copy for Christmas. Pick me, please!
ReplyDelete120 comments?! You are amazing. This debut is going to be incredible; I know because of those early pages I got to read! Can't wait to read the whole thing!
ReplyDeleteI'll be "Yay!" with you! And I would absolutely love to win an arc. Please count me in. :] Gabi: teddycavygal at yahoo dot com
ReplyDeleteThe change in release date is sort of good, because Australia isn't releasing it until early March and at least that's one month less that I have to endure my moans of despair while seeing all the lucky US readers dive into this bad boy novel before I do. Unless I screw Aussie pride and order online, which is sounding ridiculously appealing right now!
ReplyDeleteAlso: I WOULD VERY MUCH LIKE TO OWN THAT ARC YOU HAVE RIGHT THERE. Pretty please. And thank you :)
it is a little sad but i still want it BADLY. so you know, hopefully i'll just get an ARC. (hah that never happens but we'll give it a go). so my email is maiaov@hotmail.com. wish me luck!
